Savannah Tribune

The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXVIII Sixteen - Year Old Boy Shot Sixteen - Year Old Boy Shot GREAT EXCITEMENT CAUSED OUTSIDE AIR DOME. Wayward Youth Uses Gun Promiscuously—Fires at Four Other Lads—Draws Weapon On Professor. Considerable excitement was caused outside the Air Dome, Hall lane between West Broad and Montgomery, about 10:05 Monday night when Robbie Kirkland, seventeen, shot Leon Dunn, 894 West Broad street, a lad of sixteen years. Immediately after the report of the pistol a large crowd gathered at the spot of the shooting and a few of those who reached there first caught a glimpse of the fleeing youth who had fired the shot and gave chase to him but were outdistanced by him. The Dunn boy, who was shot in the thigh, was able to make his way to West Broad street and was crossing Gwinnett-street when stopped by an officer who finding out the trouble directed him to the Savannah Pharmacy, while he, the officer, went in search of the Kirkland boy whom he was unable to find and who up to Friday noon was still at large. The trouble between Dunn and Kirkland can be traced to a meeting of the boys several weeks ago when the latter asked the former for a cigarette which he refused to give and for the refusal of which one of Kirkland's friends, four in number, slapped Dunn's face. Nothing more transpired between the two until Monday night when Dunn was coming out of the Air Dome. Just outside were Kirkland and a few of his friends who were molesting a little chap of eleven years. The boy not liking the way the other boys were treating him picked up a rock and threw at them. Just at this time Dunn made his appearance out of the theatre on his way home and the Kirkland boy fired away. It is not known whether the shot was intended for the present victim or for the little boy who threw the rock, but it is presumed that on account of the hostility of Kirkland to Dunn because of the cigarette episode the shot struck the mark which it was intended for. The Kirkland boy is considered a very dangerous character and has within the past two weeks shot at no less than four youths, aside from causing the Principal of the East Broad street school the very delightful experience of looking into the muzzle of a loaded revolver. The East Broad street school episode happened thus: School was being dismissed and there were three boys at the gate intertering with the girls as they filed out. Prof. Gadsden requested the boys to move away, which they did and not expecting any further trouble from them he went back into the building. Upon reaching his room he happened to glance out of the window and saw the boys molesting a crowd of girls by brandishing a large dirk in their faces. Immediately the profes-or hastened to the corner and on reaching there remonstrated with the boys for their action. All of a sudden the Kirkland boy fell back behind one of his companions and quickly pulled a revolver from his inside pocket, saying that he would shoot if the professor made another step toward him. As he did this he backed out into the middle of the street with the professor slowly moving toward him. Finally the boy's nerve began to leave him and he suddenly turned and ran down the street and out of sight. The next heard of him was when he shot the Dunn boy that night in front of the Air Dome. Dunn is not seriously shot and is able to move around. Bishop Reese at St. Augustine's Church. The Rt. Rev. F. F. Reese, D. D., Bishop of Georgia, will visit St. Augustine's Episcopal Church Sunday evening at 8:15 o'clock to administer the Apostolic rite of Confirmation. Public cordially invited to be present.

One of the most sensational base ball games that has been played on the local diamond this season, was that of the Fats and Leans Monday evening. At no time did the Leans have a look in. Those composing the Fats were Samuel Washington, pitch; Thompson, catch; Cesar Brown, first base; Robt. Calm, second base; Philip Margrier, third base; Stump, short stop; Jacob Meyers, right field; Cumbe Brown, center field; R. R. Moore, left field. The Leans were Miller, pitcher; J. P. Deveaux, catcher; C. Cusbert, first base; Ed. Singleton, second base; H. P. Ramsey, third base; John Henderson, right field; R. Wallace, left field; David Sims, center field; E. Baker, short stop. The Fats had the leans at their mercy. At no time did Washington allow a hit. The Leans did good work with Miller in the box and Andrew back stop. Most of the runs made by the Fats were on errors. Both teams played a fast and snappy game to a full park. Mr. Edward Wallace was timekeeper. Time of game three hours and twenty minutes. Score, Fats 18, Leans 5. Appeal to Colored Citizens. Editor Savannah Tribune:— Please permit me through the columns of your paper to make the following statement to the colored citizens of Savannah. The matter of a site for the Colored Public Library was to have been closed out last Monday, Oct. 7th, because our last option expired on that date. We went to the office of Major Cann to close this matter out but found that he was out of the city—in Europe—and would not be back for a month. Hence you see that we have one month more to work on this matter. We are short on our lowest calculation, one thousand, dollars at least. Now I desire to make another appeal to the colored citizens of Savannah, and the friends of Negro advancement, that this amount be raised and placed in the hands of the curators on or before November first. This amount must be raised. You have promised it faithfully, now give it. Trusting this appeal will reach every friend of this cause and liberal responses will be the result, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1912 Semi-Annual Report Of The Savannah Tribune Under New Postal Law.

Fall Opening of Colored Millinery ATTENDED BY LARGE NUMBER OF LADIES Hats of all discriptions Shown —Display One of Most Credi- table Ever Seen in City. The fall opening of the Colored Millinery Store, 468 West Broad street, on last Monday has been the occasion for much talk among the fair sex of the city ever since. There was a continual stream of women pouring in and out of the establishment all day, with now and then a man of unusual nerve venturing in, but only long enough to find out that while he was perfectly welcome there was something in the very air of this cozy little establishment which warned him not to make his stay very long if his financial means were any way limited. The headgear which was shown was adjudged by the critics among the fairer sex as very fashionable and chic and as creditable as that of any millinery store in the city. The stock which this establishment carries is very complete and many of the visitors on opening day took advantage of placing their orders then and there. Ladies from every section of the city were present at the opening and nothing but words of praise could be heard on every side. While the beautiful display of hats was sufficient to interest the visitors yet the proprietress, Mrs. Aurelia E. Allen, as usual had music to entertain her patrons. Pekin Theatre Attracts Large Crowds. For the past three weeks the Pekin Theatre has been playing to very large audiences, especially Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. On these particular nights the house has been crowded to its capacity at both performances and it has been very difficult for those coming late to get seats. The attendance at the Pekin has always been very good but the large increase during the past several weeks has been very perceptible. The pictures which Manager Stiles has been giving his patrons have proved a great drawing card, especially those of the past few weeks which have been very "classy." Aside from this attractive feature, the Pekin is now presenting its full orchestra, five peices, which delights the audience with its popular selections. The prospects for the biggest season in the history of the house are very bright and the public is showing by very liberal patronage its appreciation of the efforts of the manager to present the very best pictures obtainable. Savannah Patriachie Memorial The annual memorial exercises of the Savannah Patriarchie, No. 38 will be held at Tabernacle Baptist, Church, West Huntingdon street, on next Tuesday night. The public is invited to attend. Quite an interesting program will be rendered. Carnegie Library Concert Success PROGRAM VERY CREDIT- ABLY RENDERED Large Crowd Out—Several Subscriptions to Fund Received—Proceeds of Concert The concert which was given at St. Mary's hall on Friday night a week ago was one of the most creditable given recently. The participants all acquitted themselves well and the large crowd present proved a very enthusiastic one. The program was a very pleasing one and was carried out without a hitch. The proceeds from tickets and refreshments amounted to thirty seven dollars and fifty cents. At the conclusion of a few remarks by Mr. Duncan J. Scott, several subscriptions to the library fund were received: Following the program was dancing which was indulged in to a late hour. Waycross Dots. St. Peter and St. Paul held their regular services Sunday. The St. John B. Y. P. U. also met in a fine meeting Sunday, Prof. N. E. Thomas, president, presided. The Y. M. C. A. met and held their regular services and rendered an excellent program. Prof. N. B. Lavinder was the main speaker. His subject was "Have we stoged the test?" St. John Baptist church with Rev. N. D. Thanks, of Argyle, Ga., preaching at both services Sunday, was well attended. The Good Samaritan Lodge gave a grand entertainment at the G. U. O. of O. F. hall on Monday night. Rey. T. M. Williamson and Prof. J. C. Fisher visited the high school and the former gave the school a lecture on "Education in high schools." It was reported very much enjoyed, Mrs. N. L. Black has returned to the city after several days visiting her relatives in Macon, Ga. Rev. Neil made a flying trip to Patterson to fill his regular pastoral day. Rev. W. J. Rodgers, District Manager for the Guaranty Mutual Life & Health Insurance Co., made a quick trip to Blackshear, to visit his school mates Messrs. J. W. and J. C. Fisher who made it pleasant for him. Among those on the sick list are: G. W. Lucas, 33 F street, Mrs. Lula Ponder, 103 Porals street, Mrs. Morella Walker, Butler street, and Dr. E. W. Verner. Second Baptist Church. Tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 p. m., will be the Communion services and reception of members. On last Sunday morning the pastor, Rev. D. Augustine Reid preached an eloquent sermon from Isaiah 32:2; subject, "Our hiding place." At night the Rev Butler preached a very good sermon. Services in the evening commence at 8 o'clock promptly. The Sunday school will have its rally on the 4th, Sunday. The rally on last Sunday night was very gratifying indeed. Political Situation in First District. Savannah, Ga., Oct. 8, 1912. Editor Savannah Tribune: The interest you have long and faithfully manifested for our people, their churches, their educational institutions, their beneficial and social organizations, and your unbroken loyalty to our party and its recognized state and district organizations are keenly felt by us and the extensive circulation The Tribune enjoys is not the only evidence of that sincere appreciation. I am, therefore, presuming, upon your further good will and patience by this communication which embraces the political situation in the first district as we see it here. We have a very complete organization in the district and the Republicans expect to make a good showing in the November election. The platform of our friends, the enemy, seems to be too extreme in relation to the tariff to meet with the approval of industrial interests, both manufacturers and industrial employees realizing that it verges too near the danger line of Free Trade. It has always been a well conceded policy to let well enough alone if something cannot be substituted to improve conditions. The country has more than once tried the experiment of reducing the tariff below a point where it will maintain living prices for labor, and in every instance the natural result has followed of suspended mills and factories, reduced output, wages lowered, and thousands of employees turned out to idleness and to the tender charities of soup houses. The unfortunate division in our party ought not to cloud the main issue—the country is confessedly prosperous and our opponents have not called it into question. If for no other reason the doubtful experiment of a general upheaval against industrial enterprises should be discouraged, and I believe there is an undercurrent of conservative public opinion that will be heard from and which professional politicians have either not foreseen or having anticipated try to conceal to delude the ever too-trusting people. Here we have nominated a candidate for Congress, Mr. Edward J. Seymour, whose position is clearly defined on the tariff question. It was the unanimous wish of those who have been identified with party work in the district under Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft that the party should be represented by a candidate, and the organization has endorsed the action to the man. Only one so-called Republican has opposed it—after enjoying the emoluments of office for over eight years, and finding that his party in his state and district did not value his services as high as he estimates them, they selected another representative. Since then this uncrowned political would-be-boss has sought to weaken the influence of our present National Committeeman, and to disorganize our district organization because he is not permitted to control it. With eight years in an office that has paid him approximately $25,000, and with his Democratic brother-in-law, his successor in that office, he endeavored to prevent any congressional nomination, one of his flimsy reasons being that he could control several hundred votes for President Taft if we did not nominate a candidate. Well, we believe he has already done Mr. Taft's cause sufficient harm, and that his opposition will react in favor of Mr. Taft. We will bring out a larger vote by having an antifree trade candidate for congress, and the prospect is that the party will make a better showing this year than since the first McKinley campaign. You will hear a good report from the first district in November. Wishing you continued success, I am. Yours very truly. Bartow W. S. Daniels, M.D. Card of Thanks. The officers and members of the First African Baptist Church, Franklin Square, wish to thank the Rev. John K.B. Butler for the valuable service rendered in supplying their pulpit during the absence of their pastor, Rev. W. L. Jones, on his vacation. In further expression of their appreciation they wish to commend him for his able gospel sermons, and the marked interest he took in each service of the church. (Signed) The Board of Deacons, NUMBER 4 Large Attendance At Private Schools Large Attendance At Private Schools INCREASED ENROLLMENT OVER LAST YEAR. One School Changes Name—Number of Pupils and Teachers—Public Schools Have Limit. The private schools of the city all opened last week with large attendance and the present total enrolment far surpasses that of last year. Many of the schools have made great increases in number of pupils and the year bids fair to be the best in the history of the private schools of the city. Several of the schools have enlarged their equipment thereby allowing them the opportunity of handling many more pupils than last year. There has been one change in the name of one of the private schools. The school which for the past three years has been known as the Forest City High School is now the Forest City Industrial School. The public-schools show a slight increase over last week and are crowded to their capacity. The enrollment of the larger private schools of the city is follows: Beach Institute - Pupils 141, teachers 6. Butler Parochial School—Pupils 205, teachers 4. Swangin School—Pupils 120, teachers 5. Woodruff School—Pupils 65, teachers 2. CATHOLIC SCHOOLS St. Benedict's—Pupils 160. St. Mary's—Pupils 130. St. Augustine's (Springfield Terrace—Pupils 40.) St. Anthony's (West Savannah) —Pupils 80. Among The Masons. There is one thing certain, and that is the bad Mason you find in the order was not made bad by Masonry, but was bad when he was admitted, and it escaped the knowledge of the brethron.—Maonic Journal. When the Master of a lodge appoints a member of an investigating committee, he imposes one of the most important duties that can fall to the lot of a Master Mason to perform, and the member should see to it that his investigation is thorough—Square and Compass. My Brothers, lend your strength and it fluence to the cause of right. When we all work together the purpose will be achieved. Therefore, go through the world with a smile on your lips and a song in your heart all the way, making it the aim of your life to do right the things accepted of heaven, and endeavoring to free man from the law and put him in the path of hope and gladness for all his way. —Exchange No man can enter into a Masonic lodge without faith in God. Faith accompanied by the works of faith is a wonderfully transforming power. It makes the most difficult task easy and grievous burdens light. It brings out a man's power to the maximum strength, and as he grows in years he grows in strength and influence. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Therefore, it is the essential foundation of character. We admire a brilliant man but we trust a man of character. Every constituent element of character, grafted therein, according to faith, results in a product which is appreciated by men and honored by God. Faith links life with the infinite, the unseen, and therefore with the possibilities which cannot be measured. All things are possible to the man of faith. By it he may subdue kingdoms, sustain and support righteousness, and even overcome his own passions and appetites. Every Mason should be a man of vigorous faith, always leading the way towards that which is lofty and pure, so that others seeing his good works, may be induced to glorify his Heavenly Father.—Masonic Home Journal. PLUNGES 2,000 FEET TO DEATH Aviator C. F. Walsh Killed at Trenton, N. J. THOUSANDS SEE TRAGEDY Air-Man Was Native Of San Diego, California, and Learned To Fly With Lincoln Trenton, N, J.—With 50,000 persons watching him at the Inter-State Fair Grounds, Charles F. Walsh, while making a spiral descent in a Curtis biplane, fell to instant death about a quarter of a mile outside of the fair grounds. When physicians reached him Walsh was dead and his machine was a complete wreck. Practically every bone in his body was broken and his face and body were badly cut. He had fallen 2,000 feet. Walsh had been giving exhibitions at the fair all week, and this year, for the first time, was doing fancy stunts in the air with his machine. He was very high, probably 5,000 feet, as he began his descent. He was making the spiral descent with the front of the machine pointed almost downward, when the upper plane seemed to become loose. Walsh could plainly be seen struggling to regain his balance, but without avail. The machine then made a rapid descent and the large number of spectators realized that Walsh had lost control of the machine and that death was imminent. The accident had a depressing effect upon the audience at the fair grounds and within a few minutes nearly half of those present began an exodus toward the gates. Walsh was 25 years of age and a native of San Diego, Cal. His wife and two children are visiting at Hammondsport, N. Y., where they intended remaining while he was flying in the East. United States Treasury Enriched By Two Cents. Washington.—After giving personal attention to the letter of a Decorah, Ia., man who desired to ease his mind by paying the United States two cents, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh removed the minimum limit of five cents on "conscience fund" contributions. The letter read: "Onkel Sam, United States Treasury: "Hereby I send 2 cents which I owe by mistake. I were sending a little article with mail and put a slip of writing in with after sum time I thought I did not do right and regret, sp excuse me." MEDIATORS SUBMIT PLAN. Proposition To Settle the Southern Railroads Controversy. Washington.—A proposition for the settlement of the long pending controversy between the Southern railroads and their trainmen was submitted by the mediators. No intimation as to the nature of the proposal could be secured. Conferences were held by the mediators with both sides. Another meeting is not expected until one side or the other is ready to announce its position on the proposition. If this latest effort of the mediators fails it is entirely probable that a strike will result, as the trainmen were quoted early in the proceedings as declaring they would not submit to arbitration. ATTACKS MAYOR WITH GUN. Would-be Murderer Overpowered By Frankfort Executive. Frankfort, Ky. — When Patrick Haley drew a revolver and began firing at Mayor James H. Polsgrove, of Frankfort, the Mayor charged him, knocked him down twice and had thoroughly subdued him when Haley was placed under arrest. One bullet ledged in the Mayor's leg and another passed through his hat. He had represented Haley's wife in a divorce suit. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM - Slides Will Not Hurt Panama Canal, Says Professor Burr. New York. The frequent reports of landslides along the route of the Panama Canal need not cause any alarm regarding the safety of permanency of the canal. Authority for this statement is Prof. William H. Burr, head of the School of Engineering of Columbia University. As one of the consulting engineers for the government, he became familiar with the canal zone. THE BAROCYCLOMETER. Instrument Can Detect a Hurricane 500 Miles Away. Washington. — The "barocyclometer," an instrument so sensitive as to detect a hurricane 500 miles away, thus enabling ships equipped with it to steer clear of storms, is to be installed by the Navy Department in all of the naval stations on the Atlantic Coast and perhaps on the ships of the Atlantic fleet. This instrument is the invention of Rev. Jose Algue, director of the Philippine Weather Bureau. CLEARED CROPS 1918 MORTGAGE DEBTS MORTGAGE FIND BONES OF MAN IN FURNACE Discovery Made in a Washington Brewery. Remains Believed To Be Those Of A. Webster, Who Dropped Out Of Sight On Septem- Washington.—The mysterious disappearance of Arthur A. Webster, an employee of the Navy Yard, who lived with his wife and children at 1240 D street, S. E., and dropped out of sight on September 17, may be solved as a result of a discovery of what are supposed to be human bones taken from the firebox of a furnace at the establishment of the National Capital Brewing Company at Fourteenth and D streets, S. E. The police believe these bones are all that are left of the remains of Arthur A. Webster. They also are working on the theory that Webster was murdered and his body thrown into the furnace on the night that he disappeared. Developments, already startling, are expected to come rapidly in the "brewery furnace mystery" which will be investigated at an inquest. Lentie L. Jett, a fireman at the brewery, committed suicide on Sunday night by shooting himself through the head at his home, 629 Florence street, N. E. The relatives of Webster, including his wife and mother, in statements to the police charge that Jett was responsible for the death of Webster, saying that Jett had previously had trouble, with Webster and was one of the last persons to see him alive. That the body of Webster was placed in the furnace of the brewery about 3:30 o'clock on the morning of September 17 last, is the belief of Frank Vermillion, an official boiler inspector of the District of Columbia, who visited the brewery and examined the heat charts of the furnaces. These charts show that at 3:30 o'clock on the morning of September 17 there was a decided drop of nearly one hundred degrees in the temperature of the furnace, indicating that one of the doors had been open for some time. The temperature rose rapidly again at 4 o'clock and, according to the chart, the heat was 'again at an even temperature.' That Webster was killed and his body placed in the furnace to be cremated, the police say, is beyond a doubt. SUICIDE BY DYNAMITE. Massachusetts Farmer Blows Himself Up. West Pelham, Mass:—George Shaw, a wealthy farmer, shot his wife, Jennie B. Shaw, probably fatally, then blew himself to pieces with dynamite which he placed in a stump and sat upon. Mrs. Shaw had come from Hartford, Conn., to place flowers on her son's grave. She had not seen her husband since she left him in January, 1911, until she encountered him near his home as she was driving to the cemetery. Mrs. Shaw at the time was accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. H. W. Griffin, of Chicopée, and Mrs. William Barnes, of Springfield. No words were exchanged between Shaw and his wife when they passed on the road, but the man immediately went home, procured a light driving vehicle and following his wife caught up with her in the cemetery. Jumping to the ground, he began firing at her with a revolver as she sat in her carriage. THROWN INTO CREEK. Man Standing On Train Platform Is Drowned. Olean, N. Y. -While standing on the rear of a Shawmut passenger train coming into the city, J. W. Joy, aged 52, of this city, was jerked from the rear platform of the last coach and fell 50 feet into Olean creek and drowned. The current is swift at this point and attempts made to-recover the body have failed. EXPLOSION ON THE DESTROYER WALKE Three Men Killed Off Rhode Island Coast. GREAT HEROISM BY CREW. Lieut. Morrison Instantly Killed When Forward End Of the Port Tur- Newport, R. I.—The explosion of the forward end of the port turbine, together with the steam chest, on the torpedo boat destroyer 'Walke off Brenton's Reef lightship' Tuesday, instantly killed Lieutenant Donald P. Morrison, the chief engineer, and wounded eight others, two of whom, J. W. Rumpf and H. L. Wilder, both machinist mates of the first-class, died at night on the hospital ship Solace. The discipline of the crew is said to have been perfect, and their conduct in leaping down into the steam-filled engine-room to carry out their wounded comrades brought the highest praise from their superiors. Lieut. Charles R. Train, the commanding officer, on the bridge at the time, handled the situation in a way to gain personal commendation from Rear Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander of the Atlantic fleet, who boarded the destroyer later. A board of inquest held on the Walke found that her port turbine was destroyed. She came into harbor under her own steam, and will go to the New York Navy Yard for repairs. It is believed she will be able to take part in the great naval review in New York this month. The Walke was driving ahead through the heavy seas with the full power of her engines when Lieutenant Train heard a muffled roar, and felt the destroyer quiver. Her speed slackened and she began to roll heavily, while steam poured up the hatchways. Everybody on board knew what had happened. Somebody, without awaiting an order, turned off the steam in both engine-rooms, while rescuers, with blankets soaked with oil, went down into the scalding, suffocating atmosphere. They located the explosion victims, rolled them the blankets and staggered back to the deck before the room had been cleared of steam. NO HOPE FOR CHEAPER BEEF. Secretary Wilson Says There Is a Great Scarcity Of Cattle. Washington.—"I see no hope of beef getting much cheaper," said Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agriculture, Monday. Fresh from a vacation in the West, Mr. Wilson declared that there was a much greater scarcity of cattle than he had realized. "The breeding grounds of stock cattle," said Mr. Wilson, "heretofore sent to the cornfield to be finished by fattening on corn, cannot furnish much more of that class of cattle. Homesteaders have compelled the ranchmen to dispose of their cattle stock. There is a supply of meat that people should be accustomed to eating—mutton. Mutton on the hoof is less than half the price of beef." Aeronaut and Spectator Caught In Ropes Killed. Tuscumbia, Ala.—Two men were killed because a parachute failed to open after a balloon ascension at a fair here. When the balloon left the ground Claude Rowland, a spectator, was caught in the ropes. After being pulled aboard he leaped with the aeronaut, David Petty, of Louisville, Ky. Sulzer Is Nominated. Convention Hall, Syracuse, N. Y. Congressman William Sulzer was nominated for governor of New York on the fourth ballot by the Democrats, after a four-hour session that was filled with exciting events. Although Sulzer was really nominated by acclamation, the fourth ballot was completed in compliance with the statutes. EIGHT KILLED WRECK ABLAZE Parlor Cars in Ruins at Westport, Conn. Locomotive Running At High Rate Of Speed Went Over On Side and Boiler Ex- Westport, Conn.—At least 11 persons were killed and 50 hurt when the engine of the second section of the Springfield express, bound from Boston to New York, failed to take a cross-over and nearly the entire train was ditched near the Westport-Saugatuck station on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Four parlor cars, heaped up in a mass of wreckage, immediately burst into flames, which probably imprisoned and killed some passengers. The exact number of fatalities in the wreck is not known and may not be determined for hours. The locomotive, which was running at high speed, went over on its side after leaving the roadbed, and the boiler, to all appearances, exploded. Engineer Clark was taken out alive, but died soon afterward. Joseph J. Moker, his fireman, was crushed to death. The baggage car and the four chair cars next following it were overturned, and in these occurred the loss of life. The three day conches, although detailed, remained upright. The wreck carried down the poles, carrying wires alongside of the tracks and delay ensued before outside assistance could be secured. The South Norwalk Fire Department was called out and began working on the burning cars, and surgeons were summoned from nearby towns. Meantime darkness had fallen and the work of rescue of the injured passengers was slow. The fire burned several hours in the wreckage. The dead, except the engine crew, are all believed to have been passengers in the first chair car. Under the wreckage were found the bodies of two women who died with hards clasped. FOUR TRAINS IN A WRECK. At Martinsburg One Strikes Another In Rear. Martinsburg. W. Va—One of the worst freight wrecks in the history of this division of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad occurred at the west end of the Martinsburg yards, when four trains on three tracks were smashed, delaying all traffic for hours and causing a loss of many thousands of dollars. One freight train was standing on the inner eastbound track when another train crashed into it from the rear. The impact was so great that cars were hurled over the adjoining trains. AN EARTHQUAKE PANIC. Frightened Valparaisans Spend the Night in the Open. Valparaiso, Chili.—Panic in consequence of the prediction of earthquakes caused most of the inhabitants of Valparaiso to pass the night in tents pitched on the open spaces and in the parks, where bands played to cheer them, while troops patrolled the streets. At midnight a slight shock occurred. A strong northern wind that started at 2 o'clock created a heavy sea, which increased the fear of the people, who were drenched by incessant rains. Several shocks caused a panic in the district between Ilapel and San Fernando. THE OLIVE BRANCH. Negotiations For Peace Under Way In Mexico El Paso, Tex.—Negotiations for peace begun some time ago between the federal government and rebels in the North of Mexico have met approval in the first step, according to rebel representatives here. It is said by rebel agents that Antonio P. Magana, who left El Paso a week ago with an offer from the rebels for a peace conference, has met with a favorable reception by President Madero, and is on the way from Mexico City to El Paso to continue the treaties here. Moving Day For Wilson. Trenton, N. J.—Tuesday was moving day for Governor Woodrow Wilson, officially, politically and personally. He formally returned to the state house here from the summer capitol at Sea Girt. His family moved their belongings from Sea Girt to Princeton. Governor Wilson arranged for the establishment of a separate office in Trenton from which to conduct his campaign for the presidency. New Naval Speed Record. Newport, R. I.—A new American naval record is claimed for the torpedo boat destroyer Jouett, which, on a full speed test in Narragansett Bay, made 32.8 knots an hour for two consecutive hours. The Jouett is one of the new additions to the Navy. Her sister ship, the Jenkins, on the same test, made 32.6 knots. Conditions were favorable today, although the sea was a little choppy. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS No task within human power is impossible of accomplishment when concerted action is everted; for that which is burdensome to the few, becomes easy to the many whose united efforts are utilized. Those mighty enterprises which have benefited mankind in every age are the results of that combination outlined by human genius, and operated by numbers for the service of man. The agencies elicited for the exploration of earth's hidden treasures are the powerful inventions of human skill which the necessity of the times evokes to reduce to practical usage. Things of magnitude could never be operated without the existence of this combination, so necessary to the betterment of conditions. The prosperity of the world is dependent upon its practice; and civilized nations owe their greatness to having imbibed it into their racial customs. Individuals as well as races rise or fall in proportion to the manner in which they accept or reject this principle; and the least prosperous are those who exhibit their indifference to this vital issue. To stride upward is a prime consideration in human thought and, although abundant fruit may not reward desires, it usually proves responsive to energy and persistence. The creation of comforts for our enjoyment emerges from the source of upion, which backing endeavors enables the performers to achieve wonderful results. The noble deeds wrought in the interest of our fellowman are spurs to ambition along similar lines, the possession of which proves a blessing to all who fall beneath their influence. In the march of progress, the laggard who falls behind the procession is wholly lost to view; and that little which his feeble activity contributes to civilization is overshadowed by the brilliant achievements of more daring spirits. The times are ever gliding forward to wider realms Hoarded energy should never be dissipated in useless expenditures nor should jit lie dormant when opportunity for betterment presents itself. The greatest benefits which adorn the age result from that mutual assistance which mankind lends his brother, thus strengthening his purpose to grapple with the problems of life. A people incapable of realizing the beneficial efforts of organized and co-operative union, whether in government or any other sphere of action, will ever be the prey of the more progressive, who readily recognize their advantage and will use it in usurping the rights of their brethren. It is, upon this ground that the caucasian is enabled to subdue the earth. Professing the less-favored location geographically, he has pushed his prowess into distant climes and unfurled to the breeze his banner in the most favorable of earth's domains. These gifts are granted as rewards to the spirit of chivalry, which in every age crowned heroic brows. It is not thus with the sons of Ham. Granted the garden spot of all the lands within the gift of Jehovah, yet, because of his lack of cohesive force, he is an alien in his own home and forced to accept whatever of privileges the usurpers may choose to bestow. The negro may not always be belated. Necessity may teach him what intuition taught others, and may be profit by the lessons which his circumscribed situation has given. Then he, too, will see the good to be derived from union in whatever he undertakes.—Atlanta Ethiopian Leader. "Plant your feet firmly and squarely on the ground, throw back your shoulders, fold your arms and swear in most emphatic terms that you are strong, healthy and well. Do this for a few minutes every evening, and even if this is not how you actually feel, maintain by your physical and mental attitude that it is your condition, and you will soon find that it becomes so and that you are not really telling lies." This was the advice given by Dr. J. Stenson Hooker in a lecture on "Torturing and Posing for Health," in connection with the opening of the simple-life conference and exhibition in London. Phillias Gagne of Montreal claims the championship of the world at bricklaying. In a day of nine hours at Montreal he laid in a wall eight inches thick and 50 feet long 6,218 brick. In a wall 16 inches thick and 50 feet long his record is 7,162 bricks. In a wall 20 inches thick and 50 feet long he laid 9,015 bricks. This work, he says was approved by the architects and contractors. A new source of rubber supply has been announced to the French Academy of Sciences in a gum found in abundance in the Malay peninsula and archipelago. It is easily gathered and contains from 1 0to20 per cent. of pure gum. Plans for the new freezing plant at the port of La Plata, which is to be erected in accordance with a concession by the Argentine congress to an American concern, have been prepared, and work on the building will soon begin. In his thirteenth annual address to the Negro Business league at Chicago, as reported in the Tuskegee Student, Dr. Booker T. Washington said, with regard to business openings in the south: "This is an era of specialization and organization. Our race should take heed of this and act. To be more specific, there are places in the south for 5,000 additional dry goods stores, and there are colored people enough to support them. In the south the negro merchant is not dependent upon the trade of his own race alone, but throughout the south, while there is prejudice in other directions, in business the negro has little prejudice to contend with along this line. Not only the colored man trades at the colored man's dry goods store, but the best white people are not afraid to patronizing a first-class negro store; and the same thing is true of other business enterprises owned and controlled by colored people. "There are openings in the south for at least 5,000 additional grocery stores, for 5,500 drug stores. There are openings in the south for 2,000 shoe stores, 1,500 millinery stores; and there are communities in the south where 2,000 negro banks can be operated and supported. Further than this, there are places in the south where twenty-five self-governing, self-supporting, self-directing towns or cities may be established, where the colored people can have their own mayor, their own board of aldermen, their own self-government from every point of view. In the last analysis, local self-government is the most precious kind of government." Trade follows the demand at home as it does the flag abroad. There is no doubt or shadow of turning about that. For every trade opening in white settlements there are half-dozen applicants for the available store space, and when it is once taken it is hard to get the owner out of it, as the longer he remains in it the more valuable as a business place it should become to him, and, therefore, to others. This is true of large as of small available store space for business purposes. White men understand this principle thoroughly; negroes have yet to learn it, having but recently made a beginning, but the sooner they learn it thoroughly the better for them. White men are neither ashamed nor afraid to go into negro communities, preempt the store space, and, beginning in a small way, gather to themselves the trade. When they have done it it is hard, very hard, for would be belated negro tradesmen to get them out of the district and they often bankrupt themselves in the effort. If the negroes do not take advantage of the trade opportunities in the south Dr. Washington points out ar waiting for them white men will do it. It does not matter if the opportunity is a small one; take advantage of it and make the roost of it.—New York Age. Miss Anna Beggs of Memphis, Tenn., is now a deputy clerk and master of chancery.

Mine, Lilli Lehmann the German prima donna, has issued a stirring appeal to Berlin dog lovers. A new dog law is soon to go into effect at Berlin, whereby every dog for which the owner has failed to pay the dog tax must be turned loose, either to be captured by the authorities for slaughter or to become the prey of dog thieves. Writing to the newspapers, Mine Lehmann says that Berlin is likely to present "a picture of premediaeval horror." The prima donna calls upon dog owners who cannot pay, the new tax to do their pets at least a last favor" by handing the animals to the Anti-Cruelty society, which will kill the dogs, free of charge, as unnecessarily as possible. Mrs Willis A Lenard, who is employed in the treasury department at Washington, is said to have detected more counterfeit bills than any other person in the world. For 40 years she has handled the bulk of the suspected money. Examining 16,000 notes is considered a good day's work but Mrs. Leonard has become so expert that she easily handles 22,000.

An heiress was engaged to a Spanish grandee. "Don Guzman," the girl said, thoughtfully, one morning as they were walking in the Row, "Don Guzman, society declares that you are marrying me solely for my money." "They lie, my love," the young grandee answered, fixing a fresh cigarette in his long amber tube. "Nevertheless," said the girl, "their censure hurts me. I won't have them say such nasty things about you." "But how will you stop them?" he asked. "By giving my entire fortune to the missionaries," she replied. "I shall make my fortune over to the missionaries at once." The grandee settled his shining hat more firmly on the back of his head, and set off at a great pace in the direction of Hyde Park corner.

Brooks Is Still Strong Enough to Walk Several Miles Every Three Months to Get His Pension Check. New York.—Among the survivors of the Civil war there are but three of the veterans who are more than 100 years of age, according to the last annual report of the United States commissioner of pensions.. One of these century-old warriors is John Andrew Jackson Brooks, 103 years old, who lives in Jersey City and who walked all the way from Jersey City Heights to Brooklyn, crossing the river on the ferry, to see why his quarterly pension'check did not arrive on August 5, when it was due. Mr. Brooks was born in Norfolk, Va., Nov 18, 1808, and enjoys the rare distinction of being a veteran of the Mexican war as well as of the Civil war. At the time of the breaking out of the Mexican war he enlisted in the Norfolk Juniors and served throughout the war under Generals Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor, participating in six battles. On February 28, 1862, he enlisted from Brooklyn in the United States navy, serving as acting master of a ten-gun ship until he was discharged in Brooklyn, at the close of hostilities, on Oct. 7, 1865. Although much of Mr. Brooks' life has been spent "before the mast," he has spent a great deal of his time in Brooklyn, where he has a married daughter living in the Cypress Hills section. He was a bachelor until he was 55 years of age, and then married a Miss Nowland of New York city. His wife has been dead for 22 years. He has three married daughters living—Mrs. Sarah Kraemer of 95 Terrace avenue, Jersey City, with whom he makes his home; Mrs. J. W. Freer of Newark, and Mrs. G. Bacon of Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. This centenarian comes of. good strong stock. His father died at the age of 92, his mother lived to be 86, and of their five children the youngest died at the age of 82. Mr. Brooks is a strong, well-preserved man, erect and bright of eye, and his hearing, sight and appetite are not impaired. His hair is scant, but he possesses a luxurious growth of white whiskers. He is a big eater in spite of the fact that he has but two teeth, and he manages to put away four meals a day and a "little snack" between meals. He has not worked since he was 95, because, as he says: "I ain't able to. My wind gives out." "I was not married until I was 55 years old," said Mr. Brooks to the reporter, because I was a seafaring man for forty years, and in those days, when we had only sailing vessels, the trips were long and I thought I had no business to ask a wife to sit at home and wait for me while I was gone for two years or more, as I frequently was on the voyages to the East Indies. I have been everything on a ship, from cabin boy to master. I sailed for five years from Georgetown, Washington and Alexandria to New York, and I used to know every foot of the Potomac river." HIS TEETH REFUSED TO SPIT False Set Also Balked at Chewing, Plaintiff Claims, So He Indianapolis, Ind.—With $12 invested in a set of store teeth that refused to "spit" for him, according to his complaint, Jasper C. Hyatt sued Mrs. S. and George T. Earhart for $200 damages in Magistrate Edward L. Dietz's court. The evidence showed that Mr. Hyatt had 17 of his own teeth removed in one day in June and that after indulging his mouth in a perfectly new set of false teeth, the things refused to chew or spit for him. Magistrate Dietz found for Mrs. Erhart, maintaining that a month or so is not a sufficient time for false teeth to work out, and that the operator can hardly become versed in the art of proper mastication in such a short time. Hyatt appealed the case to the circuit court. The teeth were silent at the trial, having been melted up some days ago.

Some months ago, a colored man in Judge A, W. Fite’s cir- cuit, very imprudently, whether intentionally er accidently, touch- eda white wothan with one of his hands. He was arrested charged with assault and attempts were anade to lynch him, and the pa- pers with brazen headlines de- picted him as a “burly black brute” He was hurriedly tried and found guilty of assault, and before his lawyers were given a chance to make an appeal the judge sentenced him to twenty years in the penitentiary. An appeal was made and the Court of Appeals granted a new trial. At this trial the prisoner was again found guilty and given the same sentence. An appeal was again taken to the same court .on ac- count of the harsh sentence which was not in keeping with the crime. The Court of Appeals agam re- versed Judge Fite, whe. becoming indignant, made uncomplimentary remarks about the judges. Judge Fite has been ordered to appear before that court today, charged with contempt. An Atlanta dispatch states that- the judges of the Georgia court of ap peals are extremely indignant over the declaration by Supericr Court Judge Fite that their reversals of his deci- sions have been governed by personal animus toward him, and that he is be- ing cited tur coutempt because individ. ual members of the court have got it in for him. The judges of the appellate cour! call attention to the tact that one re- versal of which Judge Fite complained was a decision handed down: by Judge Pottle ‘The assertion that Uhere was anything personalin either of them, it is‘declared, is simply a gratuitous m- sultto them personally’and to the court asa whole. Judge Fite is also sharply criticized at the capitol for appealing to race prejudice 1m connection with the affair ecause it happened to bea Negro whe benefited by the reversal of his deci- sions Attention is called tothe fact that the judges of the appellate cour are Southerners born and bred as wel! as Judge, Fite is, and that they and their families are‘as_ profoundly identi: fied with the best traditions of the South as Judge Fite or any of his fore bears. Blind hatred of the Negro, they say, has never been one of the characteristics of the Georgia gentle man. SAT ELE | In Loving Memory ol Rev.

Be- fore promulgating his determination that It is necessary to institute a quar- antine, he shall give a public hearing, at which any Interested party may ap- pear and be heard elther in person or dy attorney. ‘The secretary of agriculture Is furth- er directed to prohibit the importation into the United States of any class of nursery stock, fruits, vegetables, Toots, etc, whenever he shall deter- mize that such prohibition Is neces- gary to prevent the introduction Into the United States of any tree, plant, or fruit disease, or insect infestation, ‘uew or not widely prevalent within the United States. Before Issuing bis Proclamation to this atfect he {8 di rected, ds in the case of quarantine against a state, to give a publicchear- ing to any interested parties who may wish to appear in person or by at- torney. ¢ There is imminent danger of the In- troduction into thé United States at the present time of two dangerous plant diseases and one insect known Y%w cause great damage in other coun- trles. One fungus disease, the white pine blister rust, Injures four Impor- fant species of pine in practically all, European countries. | 1t is a fungus disease and would be & most undesirable importation Into the United States, as it Is liable to be imported nursery stock.’ It would cause enormous damage to coniferous forests. Another fungus disease which fs a menace to American agriculture is the potato disease known as potato wart, potato canker, black scab, etc. caused by a fungus which, m advanced stages of the disease, utilizes every particle of food in the tuber and-reduces it to a Drownish black soft mass of a very unpleaszat putrificative odor. The dis- ‘ese occurs In many parts of Europe and i several islands not far from the Atlantic ccnst of the United States. ‘Tho menzcing Inscct pest is the Mediterranean fruit fly, an insect ‘which is tolerably well described by tts nine, and which is now known to 0 established In the Hawallan {s- lands. Its Introduction Into the Unit- ‘wd States from the territory of Ha- wail would be a calamity of the first tmportance to fruit growers. Callfor- nia, because of this insect, now quar- antines against a long list of fruits and vegetables from Hawail, Including ‘vrarges, Chinese plums, prickly pears, Dareson plums, peaches, figs, tomatoes, grapes, squashes, and a large num- nec of less well-known fruits and vege fables. Other Pacific coast states, Uuowever, have no etch quarantine, and the introduction of the inseet through | ports in those states is possible and perhaps Imminent. It is also found in Queenstand, New South Wates, and ‘West Australia. Yo prevent these undesirable immi- gragts from entering “the United Staees, the secretary of agriculture ‘proposes to exercise the power vested in him by the new law and declare 2 quarantine against the territory of ‘Wawal!

Mr. Bowers quit eongress yoluntarlly. “I quit,” he said, “because I couldn't make ends meet on the salary of a <ougrestman. I went back to my law practice and I am mighty glad of It "She truth 1s 90 per cent of the mem- ders would quit If they had the cour- age to take the step, TO GET CHILD DATA. “The new children’s bureau, Ike imost of the others of the Department of Commerce and Labor, will devote tts energy chiefly to the compilation of statistics,” said Miss Julla Lathrop, director of the bureau. “The most important. work at first will be an effort to obtain better sys: tems of birth registration throughout the country. Unless the ages of the children concerning whom the sta- tistics are gathered are definitely known the statistics will prove of It tle practical value. “Efforts of the census bureau reveal- ed, the fact that only a few commu- nities in the United States had regis- ‘trations that were complete and cor- rect.” : ‘Two field agents of the buyeau will ‘gather information upon this ~polat, which later will be compiled -and published fh bulletin form by the bu: Teau, and these bulletins, it is expect- ed, will ultimately result in obtaining needed reforms and better registration tnethods. One of the compilations of the new bureau will relate to infant mortality. Miss Lathrop says that conservative estimates place the ntmber of Infants under the age of one year that die during each year at approximately 200,000. nm NEW GOLDEN EGG STORY. “The best story of Cuba illustrating childish incapacity in financial mat ters,” says Paul V. de Graw, fourth as. sistant postmaster general, “Is one credited to Paul de Graw of Havana, a gentleman I have never met, but I am sure he must be all right with that name, 3 “The other De Graw was lving in Camaguey and discovered a beautiful La, France rose bush owned by an old PCiiban Woman. He was then courting the girl who is now Mrs. de Graw and he made a contract with the Cuban woman for all the roses produced by the bush at a peseta each, about 12 ‘cents of real money. “He saw that two buds were about due, so a day or two later he sent his man down for the roses. The man came back and said there was some mistake, for the senora sald she had no rose bush, “Telling the man how stupa he was, De Graw went himself and found that the woman had sold the bush for 30 cents, Spanish money, about 30 cents in American currency, because getting the money at 12 cents a rose was too slow. “There may be Instances where this system of finance has been tied, but I am sure it has never been beaten.” NEW FLY EXTERMINATOR. A new discavery for the extermina tion of files, which may be effective in paving a way to complete eradication of the pests, was tried out in the of. fice of the health officer for the Dis. trict of Columbla the other day. Sev- eral hundred Insects were liberated In a room and were dead in a few min. utes afterward. An atmosphere charged w!th an alco: holle distillation of the long leaf pine is what killed the insects. It is" eaid the distillation 1s strong enough to provide a short drinkless drunk for hu- man beings. ‘ A North Carolina,man is credited with the discovery. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method a trap contalning=several ‘hundred files was opened in a room. A small blower for charging the atmosphere with the mixture was used. Within a few minutes the insects began to fall to [the floor lifeless and it was not Tong until all were dead. Several water insects which had been turned loose on the floor expired in the same way. It was explained that flies breathe through the pores in their badies and that the pine leaf product closes the pores and thus stops respiration. The mixture, It iy stated, is not injurious to human beings. ‘ . EXPORTS INCREASE. American exports of manufactures showed an unusual increase during the month of July, 1912. The marked increase the same period of last year indicates a most encouraging business condition in this country. | In round numbers the exportation of manufactures for the month of July wag valued at $97,000,000, against $76, 000,000 for the same peried of last year. This fs an increase of $21,000,- 000, or 25 per cent. These figures do not include manufactures of food- stuffs, which are classified under, an- other heading by the statistical bu- reau of the department of commerce and labor. Manufactures of tron and steel show the largest single item of increaee, The increase for July amounted to $7,000,000, or onethird of the total gain. Other items of increase are: Tobacco, $1,000,000; leather, $1,000,- 000; wood and lumber, $2,000,000; agricultural Implements, $750,000, and automobiles, $500,000. GASOLINE FEVER? “My husband has the gasoline fever," said Mrs, Mamie Fairbanks of ‘Takoma Park, when she charged Mr. Fairbanks with non-support in Judge William H. DeLacey’s court the other day. “He has it so bad that he has bought two automobiles and one mo- torcycle in the last two years, al- though he makes but $15 a week and has never really supported his fam- lly. Instead of staying at home of nights he goes riding in bis motors. He could support me and his two children on what he puts in gasoline and repairs.” MODERN ROBINTIOCD| Highwayman Gained * Notoriety in Pennsylvania. Chivalrous Sort of Robber Who Had |! Good Qualities Enough to Keep His Memory Green in Region : Where He Was Known. Tn a recent issue of your paper there {s 2 reference to Davis Lewi and his lookout, which is of great in: terest to me, as In my childhood Davic was second only té Robin Hood Ir our list of heroés, Mary H. West writes In the Pittsburgh Gazette Times. He was not a creature of the imagi nation, but a veritable forest ranger who waylaid and robbed travelers by day und night. Tis plan by night was an Ingenious one. He had a window of the kind then in use of eight or ten small panes. Inside of this he placed ‘a lighted candie, and when a belated traveler came by the wjndow was ‘Placed where one seeing it from the Toad would think a house was in sight. As the traveler approached the window was moved back until be was far enough from the highway to serve the purpose of the brigand, when he ‘ould beasaulted and robbed." < Davie Lewis was never a murderer and in many ways resembled his great English prototype. He never robbed the very poor and allowed his rich victims to retain enough money to pay Innkeepers or other’ expenses. Once he encountered a Quaker mer- chant whose ducats Jingled and dan. gled In a leather pouch, suspended from his belt. ¢ Davis demanded the coin, and as he was armed with a huge blunderbuss and the Quaker was without weapons the purse was oblig: ingly thrown to the side of the road. But, alas for Davie! As he stooped to pick {t up the well trained horse of the merchant kicked him into the un- derbrush and sped .away, while the aiscomfited, limping highway picked up the wallet to find it full of nails, broken pieces of slate and other jin- sly things. ‘Once the sheriff of Bedford county (which at that time included Somer- set, Cambria and Blair, as well), had sold out the. houschold effects of a poor widow who was unable to pay her taxes. Davie heard of her sad plight, promptly visited the officer at his home, robbed him and restored the money to the widow in an ananymous manner ‘At last Davie Gxas caught through the treachery of an accomptice and lodged in the Bedford jail. Te was allowed to exercise In the Jall yard, where one day in broad daylight he scaled the high wall. dropped into an unfrequented street and walked out of town before he was missed. But he was reenptured and paid the penalty of iis crimes, hanging at that time being the ponishment:. Butchers Have Queer Names.

One of his fol- Joners of Welsh descent, named Wil- Hams, took the name of his patron, and served him as special agent in suppressing the monasteries. A de- seendant of his, Oliver Cromwell, of historical memory, was born in 1597, and died in 1658. Our authorized version of the Bible appeared in 1611. There is nothing to give special value to an edition of this version appear- ing in Cromwell's time. Ruling by machinery is a comparatively late dis- covery, and in those days and for long after, the line dividing the .two col- umns on a page was drawn by bard. Coples of Bibles of that age are by no means uncommon. Made Vecetable Pilot of Grave. In a churchyard in Dumbartonshire, Scotland, a visitor’s attention was at- tracted recently to a grave on which was growing a splendid crop of Iet- tuers. Being scandalized at the use made of the sacred ground, he cleared the lettuces away. It {s now stated ‘that the grave-digger ‘had recelved a jhandsome gratuity to keep a certain grave in order, sow a nice smelling border, and otherwise decorate it. Knowing, however, that the friends of the man whose remains were buried in the grave had removed from the Alstrict and were not Ikely to see it for a considerable time, the grave-diig- ger thought he might as well make ‘use of the “good” soll to rear vege- tables and, therefore, he sowed the lettuce seed. Millionaire Evidently Pleasant , Man to Work For. Probably Reasoned That Zecause Em- ploye Had Lost His Temper It Was Not Wise to Follow is His Example. James A. Garland, whose widow re ceatly surrendered a fortune to marry the man of her choice, had a big estate at the head of Prudence island 11 Nar. ragansett bay. One day he decided to sell his herd cf cows. Without notify: ‘ug his superintendent, he authorized a countryman he chanced to encounter on the island to look them over and make an offer. The superintendent happened to be busy at the moment of the prospective purchaser's approach, and explained with some Impatience that, he could not spare the time just them to show the cows. The other argued, expostulated and commanded until at last the superintendent, los- ing his temper, suggested that both he and Mr, Garland could go to the devil. “What's tbat?" demanded the coun- |tryman, hardly believing his ears. “You can both go to the devil.” re- torted the superintendent. “Now, is that plain?” “I'm going right of and tell Mr. Garland what you said,” declared the would-be buyer of cows, aud, true to his word, he departed and found Mr. Garland aboard his yacht. He repeated faithfully the remark of Mr. Garland’s superintendent. “He said that, did he?" eaclalmed the millionatre. “Yes, str, them was his very words.” “Well, you just wait a onute. 111 write a note that I want you to take to him finmediately."* He disappeared into the cabin, while thé countryman waited zround with an expectant smile. Presently Mr. Garland came out with the note. “You give him this right off—no mistake, now,” said he. : “There won't be any mistake.” said the farmer, and went on his way re- joicing. There was a grin of malicious triumph on his face as he delivered his message. ‘The superintendent smited ‘a ttle also as hé read it. When he hiad ab- sorbed its contents he turned to he man with the remark: ‘Well, I've finished that job I was on and can snow you those cows npw. Come along.” | Mr. Garland’s not read eomewhat ‘as follows: “Dear Mr. Black—Mrs, Butum and the children are coming down on tlie boat from Providence at 4:30, and, as the automobile is out of commission, I wish you would see that the carriage meets them at the dock. Sincerely. “JAMES A."GARLAND.” Sound of Hymn'Carried Far. Archdeacon Madden of Liverpool, speaking at the bishop of Hull's mis- sion at Bridlington recently on the ef- ficacy of prayer, said he was told a Strange story by one of the officers of the Mauretania. One night the ship was speeding across the Atlantic when the man on “the bridge sald he heard the sound of singlug on the waters. The officer was so amazed that he stopped the engines and call- ed the captain. The singing in a wom- an’s voice, of the words “Jesus, lover of my soul” was heard faintly over the moonlit waters, and though they were unable to eee anything from the ship a boat was lowered and the sail- ors rowed in the direction of the voice. They found a woman with a litle child in her arms tied to a raft. She had been singing the hymn in prayer, feeling that there was no hope of their being saved. The mother and child were taken on board. Married at Gretna Green. The glories of Gretna Green were revived recently when an Englishman, Mr James Lromley Challenor, and Miss Emma Woodward, an actress Known professionally as Miss Marjorie Astor, were married at the famous Catena inn according to ancient for- mula. The parties, on arrival from Glasgow, were met by a carriage and pair, and, accompanied by practically the entire population of the village. were led before Mr. J. Dicason, who performed the ceremony. They for mally took each other for husband and wife, and answered the questions put to them by Mr. Dicason. The bride- groom was doubtful whether the cere- ‘mony would be legal without a ring, and Mr: Dfcason obligingly offered to use one, although he said it was not necessary. Mr. Challenor pro- duced the ring, and Mr. Dicason sol- emnly placed it on the finger of the bride. . | giepke. dian ralvee-4en Vales Gilbane | A student asks: Are books of yo- calizes really useful in volce culture? | ‘That depends on how, they are used. 'A student might learn all the exer- ‘clses of any book without benefiting his volce. He would help his reading and gain facility in phrasing, un- doubtAdly, but unless he applied his knowledge of the use of the volca to them, he would not niaterially assist his vocal growth. Some people think that Jf they get a book and sing its exercises, they will cultivate the voice. It is a mistake. No amount of such singing will affect the result. The yoice should become well set in good habits, before any book of vocalizes is taken up. Then the student should apply his knowledge, and do it very eritically and carefully to each and every phrase of the vocalizes.

As was Intimated, she is not an ordinary girl. As proof of this, here are some of the things she will have to give uj when she begins “careering” as a barn stormer: The social prerogatives of a debu- tente of last season. An Income of $25,000 a year. Her friends. s Her beautiful home. Her maid and the personal services to which she has been accustomed ‘all her life. Her automobiles and horses. And the Uoueind sda one things the feminine mthd craves—not over | ooking the “creations” of a French chef. What Miss Randolph gains for her sacrifice certainly has all the appear. ances of a mess of pottage, or in the language of the United States—a lem on. The greatest promise xo far held out to her is that if she succeeds 2s a “barnstormer” she will be given a “prominent” part in one of the Broad- way productions. If she eucceeds? Even if she does in a large way, will ft recompense, her for the toilsome path she first must climb? What she gives up as a debutante will be replaced by this: Association with a company_of “tal ent,” probably of the most mediocre sort. 2 Work—and work of, the hardest kind, “ | Long “Jumps” at night, and often /in an ill smelling day coach, at that. Impossible hotels. Still more Impossible food. | Rebukes from stage managers who have long since forgetten the gentle manners of the ball room, And what will probably be hardest of all—“cuts” and sneers, the latter not always yeiled, either, from those who are constantly her companions on the stage, and for the most part off the “boards” as well. Now, can any one doubt that Miss Randolph heard the “call of the stage?” Miss Randolph is an exceptionally pretty girl—her friends insist that she was the “fairest bud of all the debutantes” of last season. She Is the ward of Baron Henri Natalle, one of the few really wealthy nobles of France: her family name is one of the proudest either in Europe or America. With an income of $25,000 a year, and all the luxuries that such an {n- come can command, she seemed to be one of the happlest young persons In the world. Suitors for her hand in marriages are said to lave been num- bered by the score. But she was not happy. «She longed for 2 “career.” DAUGHTER OF VIRGINIA SENATOR CHRISTENS SHIP With all the ceremony. with which Uncle Sam is accustomed to sur- round the offictal gS. birth of his fight- gS, | ins ships, the col- GF difiey.| lier Proteus, lat- ay SE. | cst and ‘most re medern of the a, - af auailiarles of the figs 3 Z| navy, slipped from igh) Gee) the stays at New- ere Ese| port News, Va., AS SL SME] tie other day Into Re =| the waters of |. 3 RMN ae Hampton Roads, posers eats | Sponsored by Miss ASAE ® | Lucy Fay Martin, | daughter of Sena- tor Thomas.

Upon the colliers, unarmed and un- armored, depends the efilcfency of the big gray fighting ships which get tho credit for victories and, realizing this, the navy department is endeavoring to bring the coaling vessels to tho highest possibie state of perfection.

S| abdication of this tages, 22/ | popular hero had Ca been follawed by -; eek which Stambuloft Rmairykekl —perhaps the A Ceae| most powerful —! nan in modern Sx \ ree eee Ses Bulgarian history—played the all- important part.. It was to the national assembiy, which met un- der the auspices of this regency. and which acted in strict contraven- tion of the wishes of the Tsar Alexan- der II. of Russia, that King Ferdi- nand owes his crown. Thus, when the young prince—then only twenty-six yeara of age—accepted the rulership of Bulgaria, it seemed as if he was to be encountered by difliculties which only ome’ of the cleverest among men could have surmounted. Throughout the twenty-five years of his reign the qualities which were de- ficient in Prince Alexander, and Wwhich caused his downfall, have con- solidated the position of King Ferd!- nand, His majesty, by his tact, ambl- tlon, able statesmanship , and dipto- matic knowledge, has carried every- thing before him. Internally and In- ternationally the reign of King Ferd!- nand has been what might be com- pared with a series of stepping-stones from difficulty to success. If bis majesty has made tse of the various political parties in Buigaria in order to further his own ends, he has nev- er lost sight of the ultimate interrsts cf his subjects in so doing. King Ferdinand may occasionally have ap. pointed or procured the retirement of cabinets by somewhat unorthodox means, but while he has always been bis qwn foreign minister, he has at all times placed his entire confidence for all internal affairs in the government actually in power. Perhaps the se- eret of his success has been that from the first he grasped the fact that the Bulgarians must be ably led by clever diplomacy In order that they should be secured the position of Im- portanee among the European nation- alities which they so well deserve. During the first period of his reign, which may be said to have lasted from 1887 to 1891 or 189%, the prince, who for the moment wisely contented himself with consolidating his internal position under the guidance of Stam- buloff, was practicaily a figurehead, who muerely sanctioned the decisions of the government, led by his all4m- portant‘ adviser. Subsequently, by cleverly and secretly identifying him- self with the rising discontent against Stambuloff, the prince was able not only to rid himself of the paramount powér of his first prime minister, but also to secure the goodwill of the population by bringing about the res- ignation of a man whose regime had grown to be considered as almost tyrannical by Bulgarian public opln- fon. Thence followed what may be call- ed_the second successful period of the reign, during which Ferdinand’s inter- national position was secured.

THE SCRAP BOOK THE MUCH-TRANSLATED BIBLE. The Bible continues to break all records for translation into alien tongues. Another language has just been added by the American Bible society to its long list by the completion of the Ibang New Testament in the Philippines. The Old Testament is being brought out in the Panayan dialect, and the Pentateuch in Pampangan and Cebuan is ready for the printer. The Kurdish New Testament is well under, way, and revisions are being made in Tagalog, Portuguese, the Wenil and Mandarin in China, Siamese and Zulu." The total issues for 1911, the 96th year of the existence of the American Bible society, amounted to nearly 3,700,000 volumes, most of these being portions and not entire Bibles. Of the latter, however, there were more than 400,000. The total issues of the society during its ninety-six years reach the gigantic figure of ninety-four million volumes. GOOD USE FOR ISLAND Kancaro Island, which is situated some six hours' steaming from Adelaide, South Australia, is regarded as an ideal place in which to preserve permanently animal and botanical species distinctive of the Australian continent. At present 175 square miles on the island are utilized as a fauna and flora reserve, and it is suggested that the area should be considerably increased. Recently the attention of the South Australian Commissioner of Crown Lands was drawn to the desirableness of protecting the opdssum. To prevent the wholesale destruction of the marsupial, and also to give power to the state government to protect other native animals, the commissioner has directed that a bill shall be prepared for introduction to parliament at an early date, to provide for the protection of wild animals. WORK DONE BY WATCH. The work a watch will do in ten years is surprising. In that time, which includes two leap years, and consequently a total of 3,652 days, the hour hand has made 7,304, and the minute hand 8,748 revolutions. The end of an average minute hand travels over 1,520 yards—over six miles. The second hand has made 5,258,850 revolutions, and its extremity has traversed on the dial a distance of upwards of 123 miles. The escape-wheel has made 5,258,850 revolutions, and as it has 15,800 times in contact with each pallet. The balance has made 1,577,44,000 vibrations, and any point on the outside of the rim has covered a distance of about 50,000 miles, and that is equal to twice the circumference of the earth. CATTLE JUMPED INTO OCEAN. The unusual spectacle of a dozen or more frantic steers jumping into the sea from a steamer was witnessed at Santa Resa island, California, the other day, by several yachting parties. The cattle had been loaded at the island and the steamer was clearing the buoys for the mainland, when a heavy land swell was encountered. In an instant the cargo of steers was in a panic. Breaking their headstalls, a dozen or more rushed to the open deck and leaped into the ocean. The crew of the steamer managed to control the rest of the cattle, and as soon as the huge land swells ceased all became quiet. Boats were lowered and after a delay of more than an hour all of the steers that made the leap were headed ashore and safely locked in the cattle pens. WHY HE STOLE BATHTUB. Buddy Johnson, colored, was fined $20 in the United States branch of the police court the other day for stealing a bathtub. The presiding judge was disposed to be lenient with Johnson for taking the tub until it was explained that he did not steal it to bathe in. "To what purpose did you put the bathtub?" asked the judge, running his eye up and down the defendant. "To a drinking purpose, your honor," was the reply. "You did not steal the tub to drink from?" responded the court. "No, suh; I sold it fur to buy gin with," the negro declared. Plenty of Evidence. "I wonder," said Slithers, stopping his car at the roadside and addressing an old man working in the fields. "If I can get any gasoline around here?" "I reckon ye kin," replied the old man, straightening up and leaning on his hoe. "Ye kin get it in yer system, anyhow. Them cars-ahead 'o ye reeems to have left a few tons of it behind 'em, jedgin' by the condition of the at nosphere."—Judge MONEY IN OSTRICH RAISING. Successful results have been obtained by ostrich farmers in the Transvaal; and the industry is likely to develop considerably. The administrator, the Hon. Johann Rissik, has been successfully farming with ostrices in the Waterberg for some years past. His birds are from the best Cape stock. From Mr. Rissik, some two and a half years ago, Mr. T. J. Kleinenberg, of Petersburg, obtained a number of chicks which he placed on his farm at Olifants river. These have been carefully fostered since and fed on lucerne grown on the farm. The result has been almost beyond expectation, for today these birds, at three years old, are bearing magnificent feathers, known in the trade as "primes", which fetch something like $100 a pound weight in the market. A beautiful bunch of these feathers bearing a rich gloss, was exhibited in Pretoria by Mr. Kleinenberg. Of these an expert from Oudtshoorn expressed the opinion that had they been shown in the place it would be thought that they were produced there, so much in gloss and texture are they like the best Cape product. The feathers in question took the first prize at the recent agricultural show at Pectersburg. HIGHLY PRIZED RING FOUND. Turned up by a plow from its burial place of 38 years, a little gold band engagement ring is now back upon the finger on which it was first placed so long ago. To Mrs. William Blakely, a pioneer resident of Pendleton, Oregon, belongs the ring with this history. It was purchased by Blakely in 1663 and placed upon the finger of his betrothed, who was then Miss Margaret Baird. They were married the following year. For ten years Mrs. Blakely wore the ring, and then one unlucky day, she lost it. A short time ago a nephew of Blakely turned up a glittertung object while plowing on the old home place at Brownsville, which still belongs to the Blakelys and is tenanted by their descendants. It proved to be the lost ring, being easily identified by the initials "W. M. B." engraved) on its inner surface. Forthwith it was forwarded to its owner, who, a young wife when it disappeared, is now a great grandmother. COMPARATIVE ILLITERACY. Only three persons out of ten thousand In Germany are unable to read or write, while the proportion of Illiteracy in Great Britain is 150 per 10,000 as against 770 per 10,000 in the United States. These figures are based on a comparison of illiteracy among some of the leading nations which has just been made and issued by the United States Bureau of Education. The United States figures include the entire population over ten years of age, while the German figures cover only the army recruits, and the British statistics are based on data drawn wholly from official marriage registers. Hence the German and British statistics deal only with adults, and generally speaking with physically and mentally normal adults, while the United States census includes without discrimination everyone above the ten-year-age limit, even colored folk. SHARKS ANNOY FISH. Fishermen along the Cornish (England) coast have been alarmed recently by the presence of sharks. These monsters are not unknown in western waters but never have they run to such sizes as those seen within the past few days. Lord St. Leven with the sporting spirit characteristic of the family, for centuries, commissioned his yacht the St. Michael for the purpose of hunting the unwelcome visitors, and during a number of days his lordship had most exciting times in spite of fierce gales and drenching rain, he and his crew scoured Mount's Bay from Land's End to the Lizard, and with gun and harpoon attacked the sharks. Many fell to gun and spear, but the largest of the school escaped the hunters. A harpoon was thrown and actually struck the body of the shark, but failed to penetrate the hide. EAT APPLES, GET RED CHEEKS. "Women, do you want pink cheeks? Then ent plenty of red-skinned apples. They'll do the work." Wide advertisement of this health fact was proposed by U. S. Grant Border of Baltimore before the International Apple Shippers' association as a means of increasing the sale of apples and keep pace with production "Fruits not nearly so beautiful as the apple have reached enormous sales almost entirely through the use of judicious advertising," said Mr Border. "We don't need to argue the benefits accruing to people from apple eating. We have merely to remind them." BRITAIN'S RECORD COAL OUTPUT A blue book of mining statistics for last year shows that there were 1,0213 persons employed in the coal mines of Great Britain, and that there was a record output of 271,891,899 tons of coal, or 7,455,871 tons more than in the preceding year. The average output per person employed underground was 331 tons. There were 1,265 lives lost in the mines during the year, or 510 fewer than in the previous year, which included the Whitehaven and Hulton disasters. Of the persons killed last year, 78 were under sixteen years of age. FACTS FEATURES and FANCIES for WOMEN PARIS.—When a manikin walked through the salons of Callot the other day in an abbreviated Plerrort costume of white satin, the vendeuse said: "It is only for comedy, Madame." This neat little phrase could be applied to so many of the season's clothes! The comedy frock was made up of a pair of full white charmeuse satin trousers, gathered well above each ankle into a ruffle of wide lace, and the tunic waist was straight, unbelted and finished with a white ruche at the neck. Can you imagine a debutante in it at the first wedding of the autumn? When the American buyers shouted over it, the vendeuse gave the explanation quoted. "The buyers look so serious and their faces are so puckered, Madame, that we invent a gown to make them laugh." This may explain the reason for a great number of modern Paris gowns, and it is not at all improbable that such an act would appeal immensely to the French sense of humor, writes Anne Rittenhouse in the New York Times. They have a refreshing, if sometimes naughty, childlike delight in daily life, these Parisiennes, and, even though they angle for our money, with every bait, they regard us as a nation and as individuals with a good deal of amusement. `Callot tried a "comedy" frock last season that went too far, and she was requested to withdraw it, which she did on the second day, for her sense of humor and the American's sense did not harmonize. This year her Pierrot luncheon costume is harmless, if eccentric. Callot Models in Demand. Many of our dressmakers are so antagonized they don't want to buy there, but they must, for their smart clientele at home who dress in the extreme fashion demand Callot models. She accentuated the narrow skirt line at her exhibition more than any one elac, and unlike any of her competitors, she failed to drape them voluminously from waist to ankles. The skirts of her walking suits were absolutely plain and extra short, always showing the slash at the side or back or front. She has remained true to this, and now everyone uses it. However, that is not new, for the smartly dressed Americans adopted it for evening gowns last winter. It makes for grace in a narrow skirt when it is done in moderation, and gives one a chance to show a well-covered foot and ankle, but Callot does not do it in moderation. The word is not in her sartorian dictionary. Amazing Fashion. The most amazing fashion she exhibited is to slash an afternoon tailored skirt straight up the back, then lace the edges loosely together with thick cord, the color of the cloth. This opening has no panel beneath it from the knees down. You can imagine the effect. We won't wear skirts opened to the knees in the back, but watch for that line of drapery going up in the back and the cord lacing, instead of a seam or a plait. By the way, that ubiquitous plait, loose or stitched, which has been appearing at our backs for two years, has disappeared. Callot skirts, even the walking ones, were often gathered to the high waist belt at sides and back. The skirts of house gowns were gathered in the front; so are many of the afternoon and evening gowns at other houses. At this place one saw the first of a new kind of evening gown which looks like nothing so much as a mermaid draped in floating sea weeds, painted by Maxfield Parrish. Satin is the foundation, and streamers of vari-colored sequins or metallic gauze are draped loosely over the surface in straight lines caught in only at the knees. The effect is enchanting, queer as it sounds, but it needs to be done—oh! so very carefully. Promet is a new sartorial star who has created the sensation of the season at her house on the fashionable Place Vendome, not only by her narrow skirts and transparent drapery from the knee down, but by the mastery she shows over colors. Sashes Extort Admiration. She uses much red. Brilliant red; none of your wash tones. American Beauty rose, jacqueminot and geranium are built into gowns, into wraps and used as sashes. Oh! the sashes! If you could see them all over Paris in every form and variety. Premet makes them play the color scheme. When she cannot do this well with one color she uses Indian beadwork on gauze in vari-colored stones to give a dash to the gown. She has one theater gown of American Beauty rose satin with the voluminous skirt drapery turned up here and there with patches of blue satin. The waist is, well, really the regret of a bodice; a negligible quantity; indeed, made of pink tulle. Artichokes on Gowns. She introduces many artistic capes in various graceful designs of chiffon in colors. Some of it is gaudily and splendid laterwoven with butterflies or wheels of metal in several tones; others own their charm to artichokes of satin. By the way, fix your mind on artichokes. The French are using them now as much on their gowns as of fuchsia purple. These are exceedingly useful adjuncts to a wardrobe that is not at its best. Iy their use an evening gown can be made presentable for the theater or a restaurant dinner. Tulle and rhinestones, chiffon and metal galloon that has become tattered and torn in the social battle can be covered up by a cape of night blue or geranium red of fuchsia purple. Last season these coverings were introduced for house wear to give the air of a tea gown to whatever was beneath, and were intended only for five o'clock. None but the yellow rich wanted one, but these new ones appeal especially to the woman whose limited purse compels her to entitle her best gown multum in parvo instead of e plurulus unum. It's difficult for the Americans who are here to talk of anything but the exceeding narrowness of skirts shown at the various houses; but in the last two days the surprise has deepened to consternation because these skirts are actually worn on the street and in the houses. This looks as though they were really to be accepted. Conservative women are ordering them or various occasions, and even debutantes are having skirts only 22 inches wide slashed for four inches in the middle of the front. Smart Skirts. We show two smart skirts, suitable for serge. Shantung, or linen. The first is slightly high-walsted, and fits plainly round the hips; it has a panel taken down front, and is trimmed ```markdown ``` from knots downwards by narrow material straps; between these at edge of panel tabs of material are sewn; a button and loop trim each. Material required: 3 yards 44 inches wide, ½ dozen buttons. The second is a gored skirt, and is trimmed above the hem by a band of plaid silk, or this might be braid or insertion, according to material used for skirt; three rows of braid are sewn above the trimming. Materials required: 2½ yards 46 inches wide, 4½ yards braid, 1 yard silk 20 inches wide. When Dining. The dining room, its decorations and the general arrangement of the table have much to do with the pleasure of dining. The room itself should be light, cheerful and simple. The service at table, even for one's own family, demands an absolutely spotless linen tablecloth. If this cannot be had a polished table with plain, hemstitched dolllies should be used. These are cheap and easily laundered. There are fashions in linens as well as in other things, but the laws governing them are flexible enough to satisfy the tastes and purses of people in all walks of life. If you cannot afford a tablecloth sufficiently heavy to be slightly without starch, use in the last rinsing water a little rice water or a very thin corn-starch—enough to give body without actual stiffness. This rule applies also to napkins. Neither, however, must be stiff. The cloth should never be laid on a bare table, but over a piece of double width cotton flannel or an old blanket that has been thoroughly cleansed. Let it fall gracefully over the ends of the table. After the tablecloth is spread place in the center a mat, which may hold a banquet lamp, or candelabra, or a small vase filled with flowers, or a tall vase holding a single rose, or, for everyday use, a small pot of ferns. Pompadour Silk Waists. Among the popular-priced walstis which are being taken up by visiting buyers are the flowered taffetas with changeable background, says the Dry Goods Economist. A brown and gold changeable, for instance, has the design brought out in yellow shade-with a touch of color, such as green, rose or blue, to accentuate the pattern. Blue and black changeables have red, green or lavender in the pattern, and other two-toned silks have the bright contrasting tones in the flowered designs which best harmonize with the ground-work of the silk. These walstis are made in semitallored effect with low or high collars, crushed ties, long sleeves and side-front trimmings, usually of fancy buttons. These models wholesale are designed to wear with the early fall suits. To Prevent Baldness. Rub vaseline into the scalp every night for at least six months. The hair will stop falling out and new hair will begin to grow. EXCELLENT TYPE OF CONCRETE BRIDGE The illustration given above shows a 30-foot reinforced concrete bridge built for $1,350 in Polk county, Wisconsin, under plans of the highway division. GOOD ROADS MODEL ROADS FOR ENGLAND Bituminous Binding Material Is Pro nounced Best After Test—Much Money Appropriated. Smooth, dustless and durable reads covering the main traffic routes of the United Kingdom are promised for the near future in the board's first annual report, just issued, says a London dispatch to the Chicago Daily News. The report is given large news and editorial space in the papers today, and the board is warmly praised both for what is promised and for what has been accomplished. Bittuminous binding material is pronounced the best. Water bound roads are condemned as lasting only a little while and as being alternately muddy and dusty while they last. Motor traffic on roads with waterproof hinding is said to cause less wear than horse traffic, whereas the exact contrary was true on roads made in the old-fashioned way. The board has obtained the approval of the treasury for a plan to found a national physical laboratory for research work in connection with road materials. On a five mile stretch of road in Kent twenty kinds of paving material have been laid for experimental purposes. The traffic over this stretch is fast and heavy. Several of the materials, after a few weeks' service, are showing signs of deterioration, while others look as good as when laid. The board's revenue comes from petrol duties and motor car lines and aggregates £1,000,000 ($5,000,000) a year. It may advance money to local authorities to build or improve roads, or it may build roads itself. Applications have reached the board from local authorities for more than £8,000,000 ($40,000,000) for road work. The board pays three-fourths and the local authority one-fourth of the cost of work undertaken under the board's auspices. The newspapers declare that the sound and vigorous methods of the board are destined to give the United Kingdom the finest system of highways in the world. Drouth Causes Death. Acting Secretary of Agriculture Willet M. Hays gives out results of the department's investigation into the causes of the disease which has proved so fatal to horses in western Kansas. The trouble is a form of forage poisoning due to drought and to short feed in pattures. The disease is not contagious and no effort to stamp it out will be necessary, as many horses recover when removed from dried pastures to feed lots with abundant supplies of green alfalfa or other green feed. The department will continue the investigation of the conditions and desires information as to all localities where the disease exists or may put in its appearance. For Laying Hens. I have found it a good plan to shut up the flock I have on free range for two or three days. They will then have to lay in the nest boxes, and when let out again will in all probability continue to do so at least for a time, after which they can be shut up as before, says a writer in an exchange. When this plan is followed care should be taken to see that all the weeds are mowed in the poultry yard, as a hen which has stolen her nest may take a notion to lay in the yard instead of the poultry house when shut away from the nest she has selected. Hoof Rot With Sheen Sheep should not be allowed to remain in damp places, especially in winter; and by no means in a damp place at night. Rot and hoof diseases result. However, if a sheep has the rot it is well to cure if possible. A recommended treatment is a mixture of one part of liquid camphor, two parts turpentine, three parts water, giving the sheep a tablespoonful two or three times a day. BUILDING GOOD ROADS --- Many Bills Introduced in Congress for Federal Aid. Matter May Soon Be Thrashed Out and Happy Medium Found Where- by Government and Various States May Co-Operate. (By HOWARD H. GROSS.) (By HOWARD H. GROSS.) At every session of congress for the last few years, a half dozen or more bills have been introduced to provide for some kind of cooperation between the federal government and the various states, for the permanent improvement of the highways. These bills are generally limited to those roads used for rural delivery, which comprise about half of all the roads there are, and cover practically all the main thoroughfares. It need scarcely be said that most of these measures are impracticable, visionary and show clearly that the author has given the subject but very little consideration. Others have been quite carefully thought out. These facts collectively show that the subject is knocking at the doors of congress and must sooner or later be considered upon its merits and disposed of. Like every great question, there is a diversity of opinion, ranging all the way from no federal assistance to the other extreme that "Uncle Sam" should assume the whole burden. When the matter has been fully thrashed out, as it now appears it soon will be, it will be found that somewhere between these extremes a practical, equitable plan will be found, and around this public sentiment will crystallize. Without doubt it will require at least some recognition by and obligation upon the federal government to do something substantial regarding such routes as it uses in its rural mail service. One of the bills that is attracting considerable attention and is having some support is a plan whereby the federal government will pay an annual rental for such roads as it uses, provided they are kept in good condition, the amount ranging from fifteen to thirty dollars per mile, depending upon the character of the road. The most significant action, however that was taken at the recent session of congress was the resolution of Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, the majority leader of the house, for the appointment of a joint committee of congress to sit during the vacation and to go into the subject very fully to ascertain and determine the duty of the federal government to the highways, and to what extent, if any, and how, if at all, the general government should take up this matter. Mr. Underwood holds that the first thing to do is to ascertain from all the data that can be had exactly what ought to be done, considering all the circumstances and factors that enter into the problem. This resolution was referred to the committee on rules of the house, and this committee called a public hearing and invited various good roads organizations and individuals to be present and give the committee suggestions-upon the propriety, wisdom and scope that should be embraced. The writer was honored with an invitation to address the committee. Altogether perhaps eight or ten representative men were heard from various parts of the country. While there was some diversity of opinion, all agreed that the appointment of the proposed committee was logical and should be regarded as the first step toward the solution of this great problem, and that the committee should give ample time to its consideration and be prepared to report at the opening of congress in December next. The committee, without leaving their seats, unanimously passed the resolution and ordered it presented to the house for adoption. It was suggested that parties interested would be invited to submit plans and arguments both for and against the proposition with drafts of such bills as the author wished to have considered, to the end that the committee should have before it all the data and details necessary upon which to reach a conclusion. It was suggested that a large part of the physical and scientific data that would naturally be required could be supplied by the road roads bureau of the department of agriculture. The favorable outcome of this hearing greatly pleased the good roads advocates present, and it really looks as though something definite would be done in the near future.

HILL 507 WEST BROAD STREET ® SS CYC SCR SCI IOROOT) Memoriam In loving but sad memory of our dear and devoted father, MARCUS JONES, , who departed this life Sept. 26, 1911. Just one year ago when our home and our hearts were saddened by tle grim reaper of death as he has taken away one dear to our hearts, but we bow our heads in humble submission to our heavenly Father who jg too wise tomake a mistake and too just {to do wrong. Dear father, we are tryng to live the life that you have lived that when it comes qur time to meet you we may be able to say us you said when we gathered around your bedside, “I am just waiting for my call.” 4A charge to keep I have A God to glorify. Your loving, children, Slizabeth Whitfield Eddie Jones 7 Gelia Jones Matilda Black In memory of our loving wife anc : mother, * Mrs. SUSIE ALLEN ROBINSON, died October 15, 1903. Mother, thou art gone to rest; : We will not weep for thee; For thou art now where oft on earth Thy spirit longed to be. Mother, thou art gone to rest; _ Thine is an earthly tomb; But Jesus summoned thee away _ Thy Saviour call thee home. Dear wife thou art gone to rest; Thy toils and cares are o’er; And sorrow, pain and suffering now Shall never distress thee more Mother thou art gone to rest; And this shall be our prayer; That when we reach our journey’s end Thy glory we may share.
