A Child of Twenty One Months A Child of Twenty One Months MIRACULOUSLY ESCAPES DEATH BY STREET CAR Was Playing in Front of Home And Wandered Too Near Tracks—Dragged Almost Quarter Block—Only Slightly Injured That little Jennie Daniels, the twenty-one months' old daughter of Mr and Mrs John Daniels of 609 Anderson street, west, bears a charmed life was evidenced last Tuesday by an experience which she went through and still lives About noon of this particular day the child was playing in front of her home, and venturing off the side walk, wandered near the street car track. Just about this time a Battery Park car turned the corner of Ogeechee avenue and Anderson street going east. The child, of course, unaware of the danger she was in, continued to play near the track. The car had gotten to within a few feet of the child when the motorman, seeing the danger the child was in, applied the brakes, but too late to prevent striking her. The car was going at moderate speed and when it reached the spot where the child was standing she was struck by the front step of the car and dragged about two hundred feet. Immediately the brakes were set and the car stopped as quickly as possible. But for the catching of the child's clothing in the projection of the car step she might have simply been knocked aside, but her clothes clung fast and those, passing looked on in horror, expecting every minute to see the child thrown under the wheels and crushed to death. Finally the car was stopped and those who were nearest rushed to the child. It was found that her face was bleeding and it was feared that she had suffered internal injuries. Medical attention was gotten immediately and after a careful examination it was ascertained that she was not seriously injured and would be out in a few days. P. M. Mitchell Claims-Persecution and Slander Responding to a rule requiring him to show cause why he should not pay his wife alimony, Philip M. Mitchell, a former railway mail clerk, has filed an answer in the District Supreme Court charging that she "wastes her funds" by giving entertainments to friends, having card parties, and "dressing expensively." The further accusation is made that "she has gone so far as to get up in church and made slanderous charges against him, and goes out of her way to defame him publicly, and to any one who will listen to her." In explaining his inability to pay his wife, Olivia M. Mitchell, $35 a month. Mitchell alleges that he lost his position because of his failure to pass an examination because of the state of his mind in worrying over his martial troubles. He claims that in a former divorce suit, which was dismissed by the court, his wife humiliated him by naming two co-respondents. Mitchell avers that his wife is persecuting him, and that she threatened to keep after him with divorces, saying that if she was not successful she, would "try again."—Washington Bee. Mr. W. R. Fields, Manager of the Johnson-Royal Undertaking establishment, was suddenly stricken with a stroke of paralysis on last Monday afternoon. Mr. Fields had just left his home on Nicoll street and was returning in his buggy to his office. Before reaching Price street he was taken suddenly ill and, tuning around, drove back home where after getting out of his buggy, he fell and was carried into the house. His condition up to last night was conidered favorable. Services at St. Stephen's The 'rector will preach at the morning service and the Rt. Rev. F. F. Reese, Bishop of Georgia vt night at 8 o'clock.

Though it was known that she was very ill at times, even death came as a great shock, especially to those whom she associated with. Miss Bee was about 17 years old and was bright and highly respected among society and was very sociable and much loved by all who knew her. During her seventeen years she has had an excellent record for a young girl and should be an example, especially to those in her set.

Lecture SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1912 ADOPTED BY SEVERAL CHURCH CONFERENCES Bishop J. Lennox Designer—Flag Has Twelve Stars With Bars of Red, White and Blue—Its Significance. Cleveland, O.—The Rev. J. Lennox, Bishop of the Zion African Evangelical Church, is the Betsy Ross of the colored race. Bishop Lennox has designed a flag for the Negro race. His inspiration was unusual. The Bishop attended a moving picture theatre, and on the programme was a singer who sang "Every race has a flag but the coon." Both song and singer disgusted him. As he came out he found Charles Williams one of his race fighting with a man who had come out of the theatre singing the song. The singer was Irish. Bishop Lennox separated the combatants and made Williams go on his way. The incident started him thinking. The result is the new Negro flag, which recently has been adopted by 85,000 Negroes in convention at Sandwich, Ont., and by the general conference of Bishop Lennox's church, which met in Toledo. The flag, religious in its significance is of red, white, blue and purple. It carries twelve stars in a field of purple—the bars are red white and blue. The purple represents the robe worn by Christ just before the crucifixion. The red—"Though our sins be as scarlet, they shall be made white as snow." The bars' twelve in number represent the twelve Apostles. A three-pointed star represents the third person of the Trinity. A four-pointed star represents the four Gospels. A five-pointed star, the five human senses. A six-pointed star, six days of the week. A seven-pointed star the Sabbath day. An eight-pointed star the eight persons in the Ark. A nine-pointed star the mother's travail. A ten-pointed star, the Ten Commandments. A noticeable omission is the eleven-pointed star, for which a blank is left in the field. "The eleven star would represent Judas Iscariot." Bishop Lennox said Wednesday. "He was a traitor, so I left his star off." Waycross Dots Rev. W. J. Rodgers gave a practical lecture on hygiene and first aid of health at the Hazzard Hill School on Friday, at 1 p.m. Rev. Rodgers' talk was very impressive and instructive, St. Peter's church held its regular pastoral day Sunday and Rev. B. Molette, pastor in charge, was was present. Rev. W. J. Rodgers preached at the 11 o'clock service, while Rev. Dr. Williamson preached at the 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. services. Rev. A. W. Hawkins installed on Wednesday night October 16th the officers of the First Baptist church. Antioch choir rendered excellent music. Rev. Carter of Atlanta preached the sermon. An educational rally was held at Little Bethel church Sunday at 3:30 p. m. Those taking part on the program were: Rev. N. F. Black, President of South Georgia College, Rev. Williams, Prof. Black, Dr. Creigh, Prof. Lavender and Mr. James Pierce. The choir rendered sweet music. At 7:30 p. m. the rally was continued and Rev. L. A. Mason was the main speaker. Rev. W. J. Rodgers also spoke and his remarks were very timely. Rev.B. Mollette is going to spend some days in the country. Mrs. T. M. Williamson visited Darien, Ga., to attend the installation of Rev. T. M. Williamson. St. John Baptist church members gave Mrs. Williamson a pleasant time and invited her, again soon. State College to Meet Claflin University ATBASEBALL PARK NOVEMBER EIGHTH Only Important Game in City This Season-To be a Big Social Event-Game Promises To be Very Interesting-Local Team Practicing Hard The Georgia State Industrial College will meet Claflin University at the local baseball on Friday afternoon, November the 8th. The game promises to be a very interesting one and both teams are working hard in preparation for the event. The coming game will be the first meeting of these teams on the local grounds since the memorable game of 1906 which was one of the hardest fought contests ever witnessed in this city. The local boys are being put through a very hard seige of training and some good material has been discovered in their midst. They are saying very little but working with might and main for the contest. The event will undoubtedly prove a great drawing card and it is confidently expected that a very large crowd will be on hand as this will be the only game of note to be played in the city this year. Atlanta University scored a hard fought victory over Morris Brown on last Saturday, Atlanta scoring six points to Morris Brown's none, on a rain soaked field. A. U.'s attack included nearly everything possible under the revised rules, while its defense was almost impervious. A. U.'s back-field was one of great power, despite the absence of Jackson, one of A. U.'s star backs, while Morris Brown played a steady and very strong game. A. U. worked the forward pass successfully making four times out of six attempts. Morris Brown failed in this department of the game and also in her fake shift plays, though through her line plunges and end plays she made many good gains. In the second quarter A. U. after a long twenty-five yard run brought the ball within three yards of the goal line but was unable to penetrate Morris Brown's great defence. The winning score came after A. U. had come down the field by making three consecutive twenty yard passes, the last pass going to Leigh Maxwell, a last quarter substitute and a former Savannah boy, who carried it over the goal line making a touch down for A. U. who failed at goal. The line up of neither team was frequently changed owing to the fact no one was seriously injured. Both teams were evenly matched and the game proved very exciting. Deaths K Mrs. Jessie Lee Dorman, of Gwinnett street, epst, died on October 14th, after an illness of about six weeks. She was a devoted wife, mother and sister and a member of St. Paul C. M. E. Church. Her remains were taken to Walterboro. S. C., for burial. She is survived by husband, three children, two sisters, Mrs. P. S Moore and Mrs. Jennie Murry, seven brothers among whom are Mr. Wm. Simmons, Prof. C. C. Simmons, Rev C. F. Simmons and other relatives to mourn her death. Brooding over the death of her husband which occurred about a year ago Mrs. Cassie Cooper, 1410 Vine street, died Tuesday afternoon at Charity Hospital from the effect of rough on rats which she swallowed the previous day. It is stated that she took the deadly poison in a fit of mental aberration brought on by grief over the sudden death of her husband twelve months ago on the operating table in one of the New York hospitals. For several weeks prior to her death Mrs. Cooper's friends, noticing her despondency, had endeavored to get her to come and live with them for a while feeling that the change might do her some good, but she refused. While it was not thought that she would harm herself yet many of those near to her were rather apprehensive of her condition and her rash act was quite a shock to them. On Monday morning groans were heard by some neighbors passing Mrs. Cooper's house and after an investigation it was learned that she had taken the deadly poison. She was rushed to Charity Hospital where she died shortly after reaching there. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from St. Benedict's Catholic Church. Second Baptist Church. During the illness of the pastor, Rev. D. Augustine Reid, the pulpit is being ably filled by Rev. J. H. K Butler. The services on last Sunday morning were well attended, considering the inclementy of the weather. At night Rev. Butler's subject was "Prayer." He discussed his theme in a masterly way. Among The Masons. A distinguished divine once said in a Masonic address, "The whole secret of Masonry is love." It cheapens Masonry to permit profanes to loiter in the ante rooms awaiting the result of a ballot. No one should request the attendance of a candidate until he has been elected and then only by the Secretary.—The Masonic Sun. The initiate, upon his entrance, soon discovers, if indeed he is a man of sound body and mind, that Masonry deals with matters of vastly more importance to him than petty self-interest or aggrandisement. He is taught that a real purpose in admitting him was that he might be encouraged in first recognizing God the Father; secondly, Humanity as God's family, himself as a servant to both of them. He discovers another fact; that Masonry, far from being a playground, is a preparatory field for the real and lasting labors of life, and that if he would remain loyal to her precepts, he, too, must work.—Ex. LOW TWELVE. My brothers, we must each pass on. The institution of Masonry which we honor and love will still continue to infect as I believe and hope in this land its full development. To gather here the power to play its part in the ultimate purpose of the universe. For each one of us low twelve will sound, and the acacia will mark the spot where that which is corruptable will mingle with the elements from which it was formed to serve again its physical purpose in Nature's crucible. But rooted strong in mother earth it will also tell of that part of us which will still live, its spiritual purpose accomplished, reembraced in the all pervading spirit of never ending life. To each of us is given the power to leave a footmark physical, visible; and a spiritual imprint on the path invisible, the straight line to happiness and peace. Each tear we wipe away—each word of encouragement and hope we speak, each effort of our hands to raise the fallen, each flower we plant in Nature's garden of friendship, each step we take in service to our fellows, is a stone with our marks upon it, in the great symbolic temple in which some day all mankind shall worship our one and only Father. When the tumult and turmoil of the passing day is ended and the fading glories of the West are gradually losing their prismatic beauty in the coming night—how sweet to see, for a moment even, through the lowering curtain, the bright flash of the East—the rising sun. How sweet to feel, for a moment even in the glowing coldness, the beauty of the South, the warmth of the sun at its meridian height—as we stretch forth our arms, naked, helpless as we came to receive the wages of a well-spent life. My brothers, truly Masonic life—is a life well-spent. God grant it to all of us, and give us to see that it means work, not word—practice, not profession, service, not symbol. And may the Masonry of your State become and remain for centuries to follow your first and enduring bulwark of the common weal. An active influence in your community for all that tends to harmony among mankind. Proved by plumb, square and level, may it ever be strong in right and justice against the encroachment of arbitrary might, against every effort to exalt the power of gold, above the sublime gift of God, liberty of soul and body.—Selected.

Schwarz, Recorder of Police Court by Maj. R. R. Wright, President Solo, Mr. W. Howard Remarks Rev. H. L. Haywood Dead Rev. H. L. Haywood, pastor of Friendship Baptist church, died very suddenly in Daytona, Fla., on last Monday. Rev. Haywood had gone to Florida on a vacation and had only been ill about three hours when the end came. He was one of the leading Baptist ministers of the city, having pastored at the Union Baptist church about twelve years and at Friendship for about four years. He was a member of the various ministerial unions of the city; vice moderator of the Berean Baptist Association and president of the Emancipation Association. He was born in Raleigh, N. C., and was forty-eight years old. The body was brought here from Daytona, and the funeral took place Thursday from Friendship church, of which he was pastor at the time of his death. The services, which were in charge of Rev. Wm. Gray, were very impressive and were attended by most of the ministers of the city and a large concourse of friends of the deceased. The floral offerings were very numerous and beautiful. Rev. Haywood was a very energetic man and very widely known throughout the city. It was through his efforts, while pastor, that both the Union Baptist church on Charles street and the Friendship Baptist church on Duffy street were erected. The funeral procession was very conspicuous on account of the four heavily draped horses attached to the hearse. Rev. Haywood is survived by a wife and brother. Hunter-Middleton Nuptial The marriage of Miss Daisy Lillian Hunter to Mr. David Middleton was solemnized on Wednesday evening at the home of the bride 520 Duffy street, west.

For 25 years hts aged housekeeper, Miss Jane Hopkins; was the only. other oc- cupant of the big 15-room mansion on the Shenandoah river, located on the Magnificent 49U-ecre farm. Nicholas kept his fortune distribut- ed tn 15 or 20 banks in Virginia and Maryland, a goodly portion being in Baltimore, Washington.and Richmond, it Is reported. He was always afraid that one of the banks would fail, and did not want to be caught. He hada disdain for check books, but used blank pieces of paper. Once he wrote a large check on the margin of an old newspaper. The finest blooded horses died of old age on the Nicholas farm because he could not get his _price for them. His machinery fell to pieces from non- use. He himself slept on the floor. Hé cared nothing for friends, finery, fashion, display. The inside of the eld house was as bare and dreary a3 a beggar’s hut. In one of the largest rooms of the house was founda pile of seed corn, practically destroyed by rats. Carpets and pictures were not to be seen. The floors had not seen a broom fer a quarter of a century. In the war Nicholas had his leg shot off. Later he manufactured a crude Wooden leg, which he wore the rest of his days. His death came a féw weeks ago. His brother, with a thrashing outfit and six or eight laborers, were har- veating his crops. It 1s said poison in coffee killed Nicholas and made three others desperately 11. The poisoning 1s still the sensation and the mystery of this community. The fact that Nicholas left no will complicates the situation. He never married, but has four brothers living. “SPENDER’S” MONEY GONE Philadelphia Man Who Once Hobnob- bed With Kings Now Making a Sausage for Living. Philadelphia—Richard P.

Dalton, Mass.—President Taft issued the following statement on the Presidential campaign: I have every reason to be satisfied with political conditions. I have been simply overwhelmed for days past with letters and newspaper clipplugs showing the trend of the title toward the Republican party, its platform, and its candidates. I have been especially gratified by the news from the Northwestern States Chairman Hilles of the Republican National Committee, who has been visiting the Northwest, tells me that reports from all parts of those States bring most gratifying evidence of Republican confidence and activity, with earnest determination to achieve the success of Republican principles and candidates. "The population of the Northwest is not surpassed anywhere in intelligence and thrift and attachment to American institutions. The farmers of that part of the Union were never so prosperous, and they do not mean to risk the loss of their prosperity by abandoning the Republican party, whose policies have enabled them to prosper. They are convinced that the third-term candidate is no longer in the running, and that the choice is between the Republican platform and candidates on the one hand and, on the other hand, the Democratic platform, with its plank of a tariff for revenue only, and its candidate, Governor Wilson, who said in an address at Williams Grove, Pa., that the farmer does not need protection. It is unnecessary to explain to the farmer —West, East, North, or on the Pacific slope—what Governor Wilson's very frank declaration would mean, with Mr. Wilson in the White House and a Democratic majority in the Capitol Prosperity in the Nation. "The same news comes from all directions. A Baltimore trade paper, which has been gathering the views of manufacturers in all parts of the United States, thus sums up the situation: "A rapid expansion in business interests, increasing activity everywhere, factories overtaxed with orders beyond their capacity to fill, a growing scarcity of labor, especially of skilled mechanics; a car shortage which, in many cases, is greatly retarding shipments—such is the condition of business throughout the country as voiced by leading manufacturers of every section. "The principal reason for the existing prosperity is the assurance that, under the Republican policy of home protection and trade expansion, American industry while reaching for the foreign market, is not in danger of losing the home market. While our foreign trade is growing more rapidly than at any time in our history, domestic commerce is making advances fully as remarkable. Our population is increasing, the demand for the necessities of life is increasing proportionately, and, thanks to active business and good wages, the people are able to pay for what they want and to keep our industries busy supplying their wants. Hence general and growing prosperity, with a certainty of still better times, provided the prohibition of our national settlers the machinery of our national activities is not disarranged and brought to a standstill by undue reduction of the tariff or anarchistic assaults upon our institutions, and upon the harmonious relations now existing, as a rule, between employer and employed. "There is no serious danger, I believe, to our institutions from industrial agitations. So long as such agitation keeps within legal bounds it is not without wholesome significance, and may tend to improve conditions. When it passes beyond the legal limit, whether those self outlawed are connected with capital or with labor, it is a menace to be del. with by lawful authority. Notwithstanding occasional outbreaks of violence in labor disputes there is a growing tendency to settle differences by peaceful means, and there is undoubtedly manifest a much more friendly and humane attitude on the part of employers, toward employed than was apparent not many years ago. The Golden Rule is getting to be more and more a guide in business as well as in religion. Social and economic conditions are growing better, not worse, and Republican policies fostering and stimulating national prosperity, undoubtedly tend toward this betterment. "For the man or the community enjoy ing robust health, quack remedies have little attraction, no matter how vociferously recommended as cure-alls for the body politic. The law of supply and demand, along with labor organization and arbitration, and such legislation as may properly be enacted governing hours of labor and rates of compensation in the public service, thereby giving an example for private employers, are adequate to deal with the wage question. A general minimum wage should have a tendency to bring down the maximum to the minimum. Labor organizations are well aware of this result, where an arrangement to that effect has been entered into with employers. However, as I have said, the American people are in no need of quick nostrums and too busy to listen to their vendors. "The higher cost of living, as I have said before, is worldwide. The aim of the Republican party is to see that American workers are ennabled to meet the cost of living by keeping employed at gold wages. It is a simple purpose, and as direct and practical as it is simple, and does not need a volume of rhetoric to explain it or get around it. While the cost of living, so far as most of the necessaries of life are concerned, is not so high here as in Europe the wage earner here is getting more than double to six and seven times the wages paid in Europe, and is in that proportion better able to meet any increase in the cost of living. "I am pleased to note that former Governor Douglas of Massachusetts, an earnest and most estimable member of the Democratic party, refused to be carried away in the current idle reasons for the 'high cost of living.' He attributes it chiefly to the increased annual product of gold to $500,000,000 from about one-fourth that amount, twenty years ago and he expects that, as long as the present output of gold continues, with no change in the weight of gold coins, prices will have a tendency to mount higher. Obviously, the Democratic party and Governor Wilson, with such conditions facing us, could not select a worse time for proposing to the American worker—as in effect they do propose, by urging a reduction of the tariff—to consent to lower wages, with a view to more, open competition with labor abroad. Wages must be kept up, and the way to keep them up is to keep the tariff protective, and not 'for revenue only.'" "I propose in dealing with the trust question to keep the great combinations of capital within exactly the same control as the city or cross-roads grocery pays a Feedral license for selling cigars. I mean that both shall obey the law. That's all. Simple, is it not? The Sherman law has been and will continue to be enforced against all violators, however rich and powerful they may be." CHEAP MONEY FOR FARMERS President Taft Invites Governors of All the States to a Conference to Consider His Plan for Reducing the Cost of Food Production. --- Beverly, Mass.—Radical State and Federal legislation to bring the American farmer cheap money at better terms and to reduce the cost of living to the consumer by reducing the cost of production to the farmer was urged by President Taft in a letter sent Friday to the Governors of all the States, inviting them to a conference in Washington upon this subject. According to President Taft, the plan which he advocates "offers a means to secure to this country greater productivity, at less cost, from the farms that are now under cultivation, and, above all, to give us more farms and more farmers. It will make it profitable for the farmer to return to the cultivation of the abandoned farmlands of the East and to open up the vast areas of untitled land in the West. This offers the consumer relief from the increasing cost of food-stuffs." To do this President Tatt would have established, in the interest of the American farmer, a financial machine based upon the cooperative principle employed in nearly every country of Europe. The scheme, says Mr. Tatt, has been tested in Europe "through all the changing conditions of a century," and the results can be seen in the fact that today the American-farmer, besides his payments in commissions and renewals, pays an average of 8 1-2 per cent. for his money, as compared with the 3 1-2 or 4 1-2 per cent., paid by the farmers of France or Germany. Extract from statement of Mr. Roosevelt, dated Nov. 8, 1904: "On the 4th day of March next I shall have served three and one-half years, and this three and one-half years constitute my first term. The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance and not the form. Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination." "What Washington would not take, and Grant could not get, no man shall have." What Happened After Nevin Granby Ran Into Something Sharp. You wouldn't have thought that the top of Maizle Moore's pretty head was the place for a fighting cock, with sharp beak and warlike tail feathers, to rest, but the chantler hat nestled down in a most charming and becoming manner upon her blond braids. As a matter of fact, anything seemed to be becoming to Maizle, she was so delightfully, fresh and wholesome-looking. Nevin Granby thought so, most decidedly. But the worst of it was, he was not alone in this opinion, for he hadn't called many times at the house before observing that Bert Ainsworth, also a frequent caller, thought the same thing. Bert and Nevin boarded at the same place, but they had never been particularly friendly, and now it looked as if they were in a fair way to hate each other. Maize is kindness itself To both of them. She accepted Nevin's boxes of Huyler's and Bert's violets with equally gracious smiles, and Nevin encouraged himself In the belief that at least they were neck and neck in the race. But one gloomy evening he discovered, to his dismay, that he had fallen behind. The whole family were in the library, and the inevitable Bert also, when the subject of health came up. "You don't seem to be such a good advertisement for your boarding place, Granby, as Bert is," said Mr. Moore, half jokingly. "You need to devote more attention to the matter of health, I fancy. Drink a glass of milk every night, and take more exercise in the fresh air." Nevin fancied that Malzle was comparing him with Bert, and he had to acknowledge that the latter had all the advantage. Not only was Bert the picture of health, but he was so sure of himself, so self-assertive, that he inspired admiration and confidence, whereas Novin had always been of the pale, thin, quiet type. Novin went home that night resolved, that he would not go to the Moore's again until things were different. Well, how could he alter his appearance? He was a little inclined to indigestion, but had no serious ill-health, so he hardly felt like consulting a doctor. Let's see—to begin with, he could fletcherize. Then, he remembered how much he had read about the danger of eating raw or insufficiently cooked food—Mrs. Hawkins, his landlady, was not as particular as she might be. And a maltonic might build him up, too. And he wouldn't forget Mr. Moore's advice about exercise. He told Mrs. Hawkins that he would like to exchange his rooms for one of her little apartments with a kitchenette, since he was about to begin a certain line of diet, and expected to prepare many of his meals himself. And he started in with all the carnestness of a man who has a serious mission in life. He decided not to seek a new position until his health was fully restored. He didn't realize that Mrs. Hawkins was growing suspicious, nor did he dream that, when she saw the row of malt-tonic bottles outside his door, she inferred that he had been discharged because he had taken to drink. But, through Mrs. Hawkins, Bert Alnsworth must have gotten the idea, and through Bert, the Moores; for the next time that Nevin Granby called upon Malize, the atmosphere felt like a refrigerator. This did not tend to improve his health. He grew paler and more spiritless as the days went on. Finally, one misty evening, he started out for a lonely walk, scarcely noticing where he was going. And the first thing he knew, he had run into something sharp—something that caused him to give a cry of pain, and put his hand to his forehead! He felt blood flowing down over his face, he dilly realized that his left eye was hurt, but before he fainted he distinctly heard Maize Moore's frightened exclamation: "Oh, how horrible that the beak on my chantler hat should have done this!" Nevin was taken at once to the hospital. The conscience-strecken Maizle was most attentive, in the way of calls, and inquiries, and delacies. But she had heard so many stories about the strange life that Granby had been leading for some months, that her interest hardly went beyond pity, and deep regret that she had caused the accident. And, besides, she had almost decided to follow her father's advice, and accept Bert Alnsworth. It was surprising how proud and prosperous-looking Bert had become; her mother strongly suspected that some long-lost uncle had left him a fortune. Malzle was thinking along this line, one day, when she stopped in a restaurant near the hospital to drink a cup of chocolate before making her daily inquiry for Nevin Granby. It started her, therefore, to hear two girls at a nearby table discussing Mr. Granby and Mr. Ainsworth—it seemed like her own thoughts spoken aloud. "Yes," said the first girl, "I know that everybody says those horrid things about Nevin Granby, but they aren't so. And everybody thinks Bert Ainsworth is a wonder, and that isn't so, either!" "But just look at the difference in the two men," said her friend, "how do you account for that? Anyone who has eyes can see Bert Ainsworth's superiority." "Have you ever seen that play, 'The Harvest Moon?'" said the first girl. "If you have, you'll understand what I mean by the power of suggestion. You see, I'm a distant relative of the Granby's, and I happen to know that Nevin never drinks, or gambles, or does anything out of the way. But I have an idea that he is becoming a health-faddist; some one must have suggested that he was ill, and now he does nothing but worry about germs and things. He has plenty of money, and that's the reason he didn't worry more about losing his position." "Well, that's certainly interesting!" said the second girl, "but what has the power of suggestion to do with Dert Alnaworth's prosperity?" "Everything!" asserted the first girl, positively. "Have you any idea of the sort of circulars that are sent him? Being urged continually to invest in mines and factories and bonds would make any of us feel like capitalists, after awhile. And he has also, I am told, been urged to make himself everlastingly famous by writing the words to a popular song, which makes him think that he has brains, as well as richees. And then he has so many aristocratic acquaintances. They say Stanley Moore makes a great pet of him, and I hear—" But Malzle decided that she had heard enough. She paid her bill hastily, and went over to the hospital. And, strangely enough, Nevin Granby's improvement in health dated from that very day, and the ugly wound in his forehead healed quickly, and thoroughly—as did likewise the wound in his heart. "You'll never want to see a chantilier hat again, will you, Mr. Granby?" remarked the nurse, on the day of his leaving the hospital. But to her astonishment he replied: "Why—ah—I don't know that I should greatly object—in fact, I rather like chantilier hats." INCLUDE THEM IN THE BILL Hotel Managers of New York Charge for Souvenirs, Which They Know Will Be Taken. If it were not for the souvenir thief no hotel manager would be gray headed or bald. Their lives would be one long dream of bliss, broken three times daily by a spasm of happiness when they sell 35 cents' worth of food for $1.25. But the memento grabber ages him. "We tried to make the waiter protect the silver," said the other day. "And we found that after the waiter worked for us a month he owed us money, because of fines for stolen silver. That wouldn't do. That same waiter would do his waiting elsewhere — first trying to break even with the establishment before leaving. And it is very unpleasant to lock the doors of a private dining room until we audit the teaspoons." So all hotel managers have adopted a new plan. The cost of stealing silver is included in the bill for the meal you take in the public dining room. That is a matter of average. When you dine with a merry little party—or several merry little parties, as it sometimes happens—in a private room, it is also included in the bill. Not long ago the man who entertains out of town buyers in a certain wholesale line ordered a private dining room and a special dinner for a half dozen guests. The hotel manager gave him a figure. "Tell your cook to spread himself on this dinner," said the prospective host, laughingly. "My guests are all from the west." "Pardon me," said the manager, hurriedly. "I forgot an item. Your bill will be $2 more." The host looked at the memorandum and found an item marked "spoons." "Much better to charge for the spoons in advance," said the hotel man, without a blush. "The ladies from out of town all take 'em. So do the ladies from in town. This way we're safe and they're saved a sin." Ancient Graves. Some interesting archeological discoveries have been made recently by a French party engaged in extensive excavations at Jerusalem; on the southeastern slope of the Temple Hill—the Ophel of Scripture. A number of very early tombs containing pottery were discovered, but only a few of the graves were sufficiently well preserved to enable their exact age to be determined. Judging from the fragments of pottery and other objects which were found, they appear to date from about 3000 B. C. to 2000 B. C. Some of the fragments resemble the class of ware discovered by Schleman at Hissarilik, in Troy, and other places in Asia Minor, while some show traces of archeal Greek influence. There were also found some broken figures of Ashtaroth, the Canaanite form of the Babylonian goddess ishtar, but no inscriptions either in Babylonian or Phoenician were brought to light. Strange Meals in Disraeli's Novels. Some of the meals in Disraeli's novels are of a decidedly barbaric nature. Not many of us nowadays would care to sit through the dinner described in "Venetia," which opened with "an ample turcen of potage royal, with a boned duck swimming in its center. Then came a huge roast pike, flanked on one side by a leg of mutton and on the other by bombarded veal. To these succeeded a grand battalla fire, in which the bodies of chickens, pigeons and rabbits were embalmed in spices, cocks' combs and savory balls, and well bedewed with one of those rich sauces of claret, anchovy and sweet herbs, technically termed a lear. . . . The repast closed with a dish of oyster loaves and a pempetone of larks." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A bill is in the hands of Congressman J. J. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn calling for the appropriation of $250,000 for an exposition to celebrate the emancipation of the colored race in America on the approaching fiftieth anniversary of the writing of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. It is urged by those supporting the bill that such an exposition would show the progress of the colored race in the United States in the half century just past. They hold that 'it would encourage the colored people themselves to greater efficiency and inspire them to greater effort. The progress pointed out is along many lines. In 1860 the colored population of this country was 4,000,000. In 1910, with practically no increase through immigration, the population is 10,000,000. In 1860 they were practically all slaves and all illiterate. In 1910 their illiteracy was reported to be 30.5 per cent, smaller than the white population of Spaln, Russia, Portugal, Roumania, Hungary and many other European countries. Moreover, in Pennsylvania, where the illiteracy of the foreign population has increased from 15 to 19 per cent in twenty years, that of the colored population decreased from 29 to 15 per cent. Practically no negroes were practicing in the professions fifty years ago, it is pointed out. Today there are more than 75,000 working as physicians and surgeons, clergym, teachers, professors in colleges, lawyers, journalists, artists, literary and scientific specialists. The colored population, practically penniless fifty years ago, has gained in worldly goods, until today they own more than 400,000 homes and farms valued at more than a billion dollars. Fifty years ago they were chiefly farm laborers; today there are as many farm laborers as there were then, and in addition there are 225,000 negroes who own their farms, and over 1,000,000 farms operated by colored farmers. There are today colored graduates representing all the leading universities of the country. The race has produced also 6,000 authors 'whose books are copyrighted and registered in the Library of Congress, and more than 1,000 patents for inventions. Negro banks have been organized all over the south, the census of 1900 reporting more than 200 colored bankers, brokers, and officials in banks. There are many large manufacturing plants, such as cotton mills, turpentine stills, hosiery mills, printing establishments, conducted by negroes, and nearly 300 newspapers. One of the chief promoters of the proposed negro exposition is MaJ. R. R. Wright of Savannah, Ga. An instrument for measuring the nocturnal terrestrial radiation of heat has been invented by a Danish scientist. The negroes of the British West Indies are unalterably opposed to the plan which suggests the federation of their country with Canada, which would mean the end of British rule over the island, and there is not much likelihood that the proposed federation will be effected for many years to come. Although there are 1,640,000 negroes in the West Indies and British Gulana to 125,000 whites, yet it is found that color prejudice is increasing instead of diminishing, according to Sir Harry Johnston. Fashion is the greatest of tyrants. Anyway, there was never a tyrant which put so many Christians to the torture. Through some peculiarities the negro race exercises apparent indifference as to the magnitude of things about him, and unlike other races fails to take advantage of accorded privileges and establish for his people such conveniences as are helpful and instructive. Hence, if entrance to the abode of amusements is refused, or adequate accommodations are denied, he should be grateful if necessity compels him to rely upon his own expedients and reap the rewards which diligence secures. Atlantic City is deserted and the crowds that lined the boardwalk and thronged the beach go back to their daily avocations and work doubly hard to make up for the dollars they spent in order to have it said, "I saw Mr. or Miss or Mrs. so-and-so on the boardwalk at Atlantic." These things come high, but we must have them, and not to go to Atlantic City is an almost unpardonable sn. We must be seen on the boardwalk. Sure!—Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. Many a man would be willing to give up his wife for his country. After hearing a song to the effect that every race has a flag but the colored man, Rev J. Lennox of this city, a bishop of the Zion African Evangelical church, designed an official emblem which he said his church has decided to adopt. The flag has twelve stars in a field of purple and twelve bars of red, white and blue. The purple represents the robe Christ wore before the crucifixion; the red, "our sins that shall be made white as snow;" the white, the purity of the apostles, and the blue, the negroes' loyalty to the United States. Don't be deceived by the argument that whisky is your worst enemy. Ignorance is the name of the gentleman who is causing all the trouble. Prohibitionists exhibit a zeal in thus laboring the colored brother which is worthy of a better cause. Already the colored man is being too much prohibited and he should take that view of the case. Of course the improper use of strong drink is unquestionably an evil; but it is one of those evils which law makers cannot remedy. The people must get the training at home. The lack of home training has not only filled the land with drunkards, but with murderers, thieves and criminals of lesser caliber as well, and sending them to the penitentiary and the scaffold does not seem to much deter their companions, who daily follow in their footsteps. Less legislation and more of the "rod which spollett not the child," is the crying need of the country—Exchange. If you've done something wrong, don't waste time repenting; do something useful. There are some big, open-hearted people living in this age that really seem to think that the negro needs and deserves a flag of his own. It's too bad that white men of this happy, generous spirit will have to go down to their graves with this burden on their minds. Believe this, these men or any set of men who think that the negro needs a flag of his own are men whose craniums, if examined, would show conclusively that they needed brain much more than we need a flag. The Stars and Stripes are as much to the negro and ever will be as it is to any Anglo-Saxon who ever trod American soil. The negro has stood with his broad breast with a courageous heart in the forefront of many bloody frays in honor and defense of the nation's pride. The old flag, why should we not call it ours?—Zanesville Advocate. Philosophy is something you hoist on the other fellow when he's not looking. Like most instruments, a razor is useful in its place and dangerous out of its place: For instance, it is useful to shave with but dangerous to carve with. Of late, over in Philadelphia, there have been several distressing cases of carving with the razor among negroes which required the attention of the police and the undertaker; but the saddest case was that of the two youngsters, brothers, six and eight years old, who went into the garret of their home, armed with the parental razor, and cut and slashed each other nearly to death, to see how it was done, before they were caught in the act. Did they inherit the razor-carving habit? It looks that way. Jacoulis is a painful exhibition, but it gets very little sympathy. The sooner the negro can be taught that it is impossible for him to escape punishment for his wrongs, the sooner he will so live that the impression prevailing in the minds of most white folks, that all negroes will steal, may be thoroughly dispelled. Of course, the better class of white people know there are honest negroes as well as honest white folks, and there are dishonest white folks and dishonest agroes, but they know how to separate the wheat from the chaff.—Newport News-Star. A wind storm, possibly of a jealous disposition, visited Braymer, Mo., a few days ago and wrecked the homes of two well known auctioneers. We sincerely hope that our business men will throw aside petty jealousies, cast off some of their narrowness, and lay aside personal pride; join in with all movements that will benefit the people, lend their presence to those meetings that will uplift them and push our young men to the front in every way possible, where they prove themselves worthy and we believe the time is not far distant before we will have numbers of buildings like the New Alabama Penny Savings bank, Echols & Strong and Dr. Gordon's all over the city. We earnestly hope that our business men will be more cosmopolitan in their way of doing business. —Blirmingham Wide-Awake. No matter what sort of man a woman's husband is, she's blamed for his faults always. Man's wisdom often consists in knowing just how long to stay away from home. The settlement of the negro question lies in the colored men and women living their lives as negroes, being patriotic, working hard at useful occupations that they are fitted for, always being unassuming and honest, respecting themselves, and trying to bring their children up to be useful Christian men and women. Some men are very convenient adjuncts once tamed to dish washing. Houscekeeping for two sometimes gets to be just solitude. Georgia and especially the First Congressional District and Chatham county should poll alarge vote for the Republican ticket. Party leaders in every precinct should see to it that the voters are gotten out. The colored Republicans of Chatham county will vote solidly for the presidential and congressional candidates. There are a few so called Republicans, white, who have refused to recognize the congressional nominee. Their fight on this nominee will be carefully noted. It is indeed with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction that we share with other Americans the good feeling that comes with the assurance from the doctors of Col. Roosevelt who was so brutally and wantonly attacked recently by a fanatic, that the good colonel is now on the road to a speedy recovery from the bullet wound that he received. No true and loyal American could have wished otherwise for the welfare of Colonel Roosevelt. While the occurrence was one to be regretted, yet the old and trite saying that out of every evil comes some good, rang true in this particular case. The universality of the opinion of condemnation of the act expressed by both the press and the laity regardless of political, social or religious affiliation shows that when it comes to anarchic tendencies and acts, that the entire American people rise in arms to annihilate the same. Col. Roosevelt is one of our most foremost citizens in private life. He has given to this country some of the best years of service of his life. He has been and is still one of the greatest forces in our body politic. As a public man he is always before the gaze of his countrymen. That he has his faults as well as his good traits, no one will deny. But that he should be brutally assaulted without even a moment's warning is indeed unnecessary and uncalled for. It is true that there is much in Roosevelt that we admire; in the light of certain past and very present positions that he has taken, there is also much in him that we do not admire. Nevertheless he is a most valuable part of our country's enry, hence our genuine sorrow at his recent misfortune that has given him both pain and annoyance. The assassin's bullet has spent its force and now lies in the breast of our Ex-President. But, through a kind Providence the would be victim still lives. And, too, the assassin lives. And for what? To spend a few years in prison and then be freed when he will again begin to ply his ware of death, devastation and ruin to those with his fancies to be enemies to his fanatic ideas and doctrines. The time is now ripe for decisive action to be taken by the American people against those among them who think and act as John Schrank acted. Our country boasts, and proudly so, of being the home of free speech and action, but when such speech and action endanger the life of the public, then it is that such speech and action should be suppressed. It is indeed a fact that brings much joy to all of us, that when it comes to matters of a socialistic and anarchic nature, the people of our race are free from same. We have yet to produce an assassin of a public officer. We have yet to blaze the way for the promulgation of such ideas that will inflame the minds of those who are near to the point of violence. In this, the Negro stands out as an example to other races in America. We repeat that John Schank should be punished, and that severely so, and those of whom he is a prototype should be made to know (and at an early date too) that their room among us is much more to be desired than their company. Permit me to speak to the reached and unreached, by the public school facilities of our beloved city, the prided home of my nativity You, through your very excellent journal, now far-famed for its undaunted advocacy of most sterling principles of education, character, thrift, and progress etc., are justly entitled to highest commendation. Strange and paradoxical as it may sound. I venture the assertion that school teachers, and those interested in education are less enthusiastic than those in other avocations of life. The journalist talks journalism; the business man talks business, the doctor talks medicinal arts, or hygiene, or science; the dentist talks teeth; the lawyer talks violation of law, crimes, punishments, and jurisprudence; the girl in her 'teens talks love, and the sweet maiden fair of only a few summers talks courtship and dreams of happy marriage; while some of the married cry, give me divorce or give me death. I wish to briefly talk school. Even now our schools stand out in par-excellence, because of their splendid corps of erudite teachers, and progressive pupils who are endeavoring to make good in the high class colleges and universities in which they annually matriculate throughout the United States. We are justly proud of our Board of Education, because of its peculiar construction and personnel; being untrammeled by outside influences, such as state authorities or politics; an independent board, and composed of very eminent judges, jurists, skilled physicians and successful busine-s men. A board that seems to be tied by some magnetic cord of adamant to the education and highest development of the colored people of our proud city. Our protoundly educated, our eminently cultured and refined superintendent, is far reaching in his plans and work, for the educational uplift of the masses. He does not believe that the limited knowledge of the applicant or teacher gathered from books, years ago is sufficiently adequate to make one a first class teacher and so he requires constant preparation and improvement in the work to be done by the teaching force; he is deeply cognizant and interested in the colored principals' greatest success with their teachers and the pupils of colored schools The principals with a marked degree of modest pride represent an unbroken trio of efficiency and quality, as products of that now famous institution of learning, The Atlanta University This trio has well in hand the work of the grammar schools of our city and they are ably supported by a corps of earnest, faithful and competent teachers. Their purpose and aim are lofty, yea magnificently divine, for they teach, and educate both hand, head and heart; and thereby find themselves builders of men and women who must soon cross the beautiful threshold of a brighter future, so dawn upon the happy vision of a magnificent race. Many a time, these teachers are so systematic, so methodical, so regular, so punctual, so conscientious in the performance and prosecution of their work, that the envious most sarcastically cauterize the colored teachers, by saying they only draw their salaries and draw their breath. Why, they say that the teachers don't work at all, but simply teach. These teachers are required by the Board of Education to hold a Normal Class weekly and do actual work under the supervision of the respective principals; Prof. Jas. H. C. Butler, Principal of the school held in that historic building of revolutionary fame, that model gentleman and scholar, that stalwart pioneer of education of the Public School regime in Savannah, has presided for a number of years over the general Normal Class, alternating occasionally with his brother principals. No Principal in the state, to my knowledge, has held so honored a position for so long a period as he, and done has filled any similar position of distinction with so much dignity and merit. He has been kind, gentle, positive and helpful in this position; the teachers honor, respect, and love him. The superintendent, to increase the efficiency of the teaching force has divided the Normal class into three divisions, placing a principal at the head of each. The teachers prepare and present to the respective divisions, their actual work, that they go in their classrooms subject to the most crucial criticisms and test by the teachers and principal. Here, iron shapeneth iron, and pure steel is the result; here the dross in teaching is negated and eliminated and the pure gold dust of efficiency is stamped indelibly with the approval of the scholarly and experienced. Here we all meet upon common ground for mutual benefit and edification in our work; we get this without regard to creed or politics or the peculiar and fanciful notions of the novice or the theorist. Then we go back to our classes better prepared. You see then these splendid women, who have sacrificed so many golden opportunities to sail upon the envisible and divinely appointed matrimonial sea, are doing a great work that they might educate their benighted race, and do more than draw their breath and draw their salaries. I say with great emphasis, that one of the most potent adjuncts, to the most successful education of the children of the Public Schools to day, is the hearty and faithful co-operation of the teachers and parent; and to accomplish this, one or more joint meetings of principal, teachers and parents, is of paramount importance in each school. There and there a heart to heart talk Let us have a "Parents Day" in every school this year, then each principal and teacher will be able to speak out in language like this: Mothers, Fathers and Fellow Citizens, send your children regularly and promptly to school, neat and clean with home lessons studied and learned, and thus by your sincere and timely co-operation hold up the arms of your teachers, and as a potent satisfaction to parents and encouragement to teachers point to the many good results of the Public Schools; point to our Dr. Jas. E-Erwin, and to our sainted Dr. S. Palmer Lloyd, of East Broad St. school, and tho, as yet, in the very bloom of life; point with home pride, to our Dr. C. C. Middleton of the West Broad St. school and finally point with exhilarating pride to the fourth star in the medical constellation, our Dr. Henry M. Collier of Maple St. school who practises medicine in Naahville, Tenn. The names of others who have made the Public School system of Savannah famous are legion, and I have thus styled the residue for brevity sake; knowing that the outputs of the Public Schools of Savannah are nobly treading the wine press of utility in every walk of life; in the business world, in the trades, and in the professions; and soon some day our beloved and most highly esteemed and erudite poet laureate of Georgia, Edward Winifred Sherman, will sing their praises for racial service to one of his poetic strains of beauty, and then we, as teachers, and our patrons, as lovers of education, and progress shall witness a grand panoramic phalanx of Public school boys and girls, heralding the new dawn of the American Negro's civilization.

What Will Your Children Think of You If when sickness or accidents necessitate your giving up work you are unable to contribute to their support and maintenance during their dependent years? It is not fair to jeopardize the future success and happiness of your-children by overlooking the one absolute method of insuring their health, education and freedom from the evils of child-labor As a husband and father, it is your duty to insure yourself against sickness and accidents, otherwise the wife and children must be sacrificed from home and schoolroom to "keep the wolf from the door." Until the child has had just portion of mental, development in schools and physical upbuilding in the natural tendencies of its growing years, it is a crime to subject it to the task of "bread-winning." In these enlightened days, children read and children know and in after years will not hold you blameless for your oversight.

DIAZ MAKES IT HOT FOR: MADERO LOYALTY OF ARMY DOUBTED. New Uprisings In Various Parts of + the Country—A Provisional + Cabinet Ghosen For ‘Diaz. Mexico City.—President Madero’s administration appears té have reach. }ed a critical point. The resignation of the cabinet was demanded In the nance of Deputies by Deputy | Querido Moheno. With Gen, Felix Diaz, a nephew of the exiled ex-president, in undisputed control of Vera Cruz, Mexico's most important seaport, reports have | reached here also of new uprisings in various parts of the republic, includ- ing the city of Pachuca, only 55 miles trom the capital. Beside this the loyalty of the army is questioned. | Madero minimized the !mportance of the rebel movement under Diaz in 'an interview. He also reiterated his oft-repeated declaration that he would not resign. He said: | “Undoubtedly the news of the up- rising under Felix Diaz has caused ‘gieat alarm, but it should not be given more importance than It has, whlch. in my judgment, is not great. “The discontented will take oceaston again to call for my resignation from my post; but, as I have declared ‘on other occasions, the legality of the government is undeniable. Therefore, I shall never resign before my term expires. Only death can remove me from the presidency before that time.” Provisional President. - Doubts as to the specific object of the Diaz revolt were removed when he was proclaimed provisional presi- dent by Col. Jose Diaz Ordaz, his cousin and commander of the Twenty- first Infantry, stationed at Vera Cruz. So far advanced are the plans of Diaz and his supporters that they are said to have already selected a pro- visional cabinet. Commodore Azueta appears to be the only government officer at Vera Cruz holding out against Diaz. In Yucatan two nkw revolutionary pasties began operations, one in the south and, the other in the west of the state. It 1s assumed they are work- ing under Diaz. Calls Madero Tyrant.

Washington. That the forest cover of mountains and hills has an appreciable and measurable effect on navigation streams and that the removal of the forest growth from the lands tends to produce floods is the conclusion reached by the United States Geological Survey announced as the result of a series of scientific experiments in the White mountains of New England. The report carries with it the statement of the survey that the removal of the forests tends to produce floods. The investigations are believed to solve a problem long a source of strenuous contention among scientists. While the investigations have direct reference to the White mountain area only, they establish a principle of far wider application and indicate that there may be a scientific method of preventing floods generally. In conducting its experiments, the Geological Survey selected two small, almost exactly similar drainage basins of about five square miles each on the east branch of Pemigewassott river, one largely clothed with virgin timber and the other deforested and burned. Careful measurements of precipitation over the areas and of the run off of the respective streams show that not only was the snow held better in the forested area, but that during a period of 17 days in April, including three extended storms, the run-off of the stream in the deforested area was a comparative flood, practically double that of the stream flowing through the forested area. On both streams hydrographic stations were established and the stream flow determined with a high degree of accuracy. The survey report shows that the maximum flood flow from the forested basin was only 67 per cent. of that from the deforested basin The Survey says: "The stream of the forested basin is observed to be the steadier of the two and in proportion to its drainage area it tends—at least during the spring month—to promote a steady flow of water in the master stream of which it is a tributary "Such an actual demonstration and quantitative measure of the performance of different areas, some forested and others deforested, has never been attempted in trying to determine the effect of forest cover on stream flow. Efforts to arrive at definite conclusions have always been based on a study of long-time records of precipitation and stream discharge; but owing to the many qualifying factors such efforts have simply resulted in divergent opinions and inconclusive controversies. "The results of the present actual measurements in these mimic drainage basins, so accurate and refined in method as to approach laboratory experiments, where exact results may be expected, leave no doubt as to the conclusion. Forest cover and the resulting forest mat in the White mountain granite area does to a considerable and measurable degree steady and regulate stream flow, and therefore must be stated as an important factor in maintaining the navigability of streams whose headwaters lie in such areas." MORE TEACHERS NEEDED The national welfare depends on agricultural prosperity; agriculture itself is daily becoming more and more of a science; and these two factors reinforce the pressing demand for more and better agricultural education among the rural population. But where are the teachers of agriculture coming from? This question is raised by A. C. Monahan, specialist in rural education of the United States bureau of education. "At present nearly two thousand high schools are teaching agriculture, the course being taken by an aggregate of some 37,000 pupils," says Mr. Monahan. "But in all these schools, only a very few besides those giving four-year courses in this subject have instructors with a college or normal school training in scientific agriculture, while a large percentage of the active teachers with this training have had no training in psychology or pedagogy. "Probably no one factor has had greater influence in retarding the introduction of substantial courses in agriculture in all those higher schools whose pupils are drawn in large numbers from farming districts than the shortage of properly qualified teachers." Report of Daylight Meteor- Reports from Greytown, Weenen and Curry's Post, Natal, describe a curious phenomenon in the form of a daylight meteor which burst with a loud explosion audible at places thirty or forty miles apart. The meteor, which took, the form of a ball of fire with a flaming stream of sparks behind, was seen about two o'clock in the afternoon, a few days ago. The sun was shining brightly at the time. The meteor appeared to have fallen close to Weenen, but no trace of it could be found when a search was made of the locality. Thousands of gold seekers who joined in the mad rush to the Klendike hurried over ground containing that very treasure which they expected to find at the end of their journey. Many of these gold seekers, indeed, must have passed in sight of the quartz vein near the Valdez glacier which 12 years later was developed into what is now known as the Cliff mine. This vein has averaged about $50 a ton, mostly in free gold, with little change in depth, the concentrates running about 7 per cent and carrying about $100 worth of gold to the ton, according to a report of the United States geological survey. This is probably a fair measure of the gold content of the ores of the district, though many property owners report contents ranging from $75 to $200, or even higher. The Cliff mine became productive in 1910 and proved to be very profitable. Its success greatly stimulated prospecting by local miners and also attracted the attention of nonresidents, who quickly recognized the possibility of developing here a new mining district. As a result, several hundred lode claims were staked and considerable development work was undertaken in 1910 and 1911. At this time Alfred H. Brooks, geologist in charge of the Alaskan work of the United States geological survey, visited the region and made an examination of its possibilities, and his report, just issued by the survey, shows that the most encouraging feature of the district is the fact that one lode has been profitably mined to a depth of about 400 feet and for about. 500 feet along the strike. So far as can be seen, he states, there are no geologic conditions at the Cliff mine which are not found elsewhere in the region. CLOSED TO ITALIANS, FIRES, SLAVS, MAGYAES, BOHEMIANS, SCREEN, SLOVAKS, GREEK, RUTHENIANS, ROMANIANS, ARGENTIANS, AUSTRALIANS AND BULGARIANS OPEN TO CHINAMEN WELCOME THE COARSE HORDE BARRED CAGE MASTS' VALUE PROVED. Far from pronouncing the doom of the cage mast of the American battleships, the recent firing tests in Chesapeake Bay are regarded by naval officers as demonstrating most concincingly the efficiency of the cage mast. Sixteen 12-inch explosive shells were fired at the experimental cage mast erected on the hulk of the San Marcos, formerly the battleship Texas, which lies on the shoals of Tangier Sound, Chesapeake Bay. Of these thirteen were fair and square hits, and the last hit toppled the mast into the water, while this heavy fire, concentrated upon the mast, at close range, resulted after thirteen hits in the destruction of the mast. Naval officers assert that in the first place the masts of a ship in action would never under any imaginable circumstances, be subjected to such a fire. In the second place, it is declared, two or three well-directed shots at one of the old time cylindrical masts would be sufficient to bring it down. Therefore the recent tests prove conclusively that the cage mast can withstand at least six or seven times the firing that the old mast can endure. THE THIRD TERM QUESTION.

SIZE OF PATTERNS INCREASE. A Washington department store manager has estimated that the increase in the size of patterns, for stockings for American girls this season will add $300,000 to the hosiery manufacturers' coffees. Mrs. A. A. Bierney, president of the local organization of the Mothers' congress, says that the additional expense is for the good of the race. Mrs. Birney agrees with the Russian Countess Cazarine to the effect that Washington girls are too slender, but adds that they are improving. The feet of the Washington girl are getting bigger, she said today. "Bigger feet and stronger, harder muscles are at last coming to our girls," she declared. "Such strong, athletic girls speak well for the future of the race. New York is making the same sort of progress. I wish other parts of the country were blessed with such girls as Washington and New York has." PROVED TO BE TRUE? The story that comes from the south that there are people there that do not know the war is over has been proved to be true—proved by the treasury department. A Louisville, Ky., woman sent in a dollar bill the other day with the following letter: "I have had this bill for some time, but I have neglected to have it redeemed. In the meantime, however, I have acquired two little girls, and a dollar looks much bigger than it used to look. As its buying power seems to be steadily decreasing, I send it in while it is still worth 30 cents." The treasury department immediately forwarded to her a perfectly good brand-new dollar bill, and informed her that it would get her exactly 100 cents' worth of goods anywhere she wanted to present it. That sounds fishy, but it is the honest truth. One Thing Certain. An amusing story is related of Lady Roberts, who was once visiting the hospitals at the base of military operations in India. So pleased was she with the untiring labor of the nurses and their devotion to the slick that she said to the officer in attendance, "I really think that the sisters deserve a medal for this campaign as much as anyone, and I hope they will get one." "Well, I don't know about a medal" said a gallant colonel standing by, "but they are sure at all events to get plenty of claps." THE ALL IMPORTANT QUESTION. PAY ENVELOPE Which party has kept this envelope filled I—Kansas City Journal. WILL PLAY IMPORTANT PART IN DRAMA OF FASHION. Designers This Season Have Outdone Themselves in Producing Attractive Garments—Tallored Shirt in Feminine Stuffs. NEW YORK—The shirt waist is scheduled to play an even more important role in the drama of fashions than it has assumed for many a season. And, as it to make good her part, the shirt waist of the hour is more appealing, more alluring and more bewitching than it has shown itself for several seasons. Strict Tallored Shirt. Street Tailored Shirt. The woman who goes in for the greatest of tailored effects orders. her shirts built on the same lines as those of her brother or husband. To be sure, the wise haberdasher makes the necessary changes for the feminine figure, but the results are so nearly identical that the customer is satisfied. These shirts will be developed in a heavy white silk, a flannel or one of the wash silks. For those who do not repeat year after year the same order there are slight changes which distinguish the effect this fall from that of the spring. The principal distinction lies in the collar, for the rolling, comfortable Robespierre collar has been adopted with success for the tailored shirt. The deep cuffs are another point of difference. Some of the so-called tailored waists boast cuffs with turnovers of black silk, generally taffeta, to match the high stock of the same material. Semi-Tallored Blouse. There are numerous blouses which have all the simplicity of the severely tailored shirt, and yet are exploited in such truly feminine stuffs that they only half deserve the title of semi-tailored shirt waists. Take, for instance, a blouse which may be fashioned from either one of the heavy new silks or a flannel. It is practically devoid of trimming, except for the front piece, which is cleverly extended to the top of the collar. Only an outline of stitching and the buttons, which figure on every blouse of the hour, with prominent buttonholes, lend even the suggestion of trimming to this front piece. There is the low shoulder seam, which is not seen, perhaps, in the severely tailored shirt, but which adds the up-to-date touch to nine out of ten of the fall blouses, and the deep cuffs. A trig little blouse made from faille silk is another example of the semitailored blouse of which there are innumerable plays among the shirt waists of the hour. On the blouse the revers are of the material edged with lace, and the plainness is broken by the buttons and buttonholes. There is the same pointed Robespierre, or Directore, collar of the material. The color note may be sofnded by the stitching in a contrasting shade. The epaulettes which lend the much desired long shoulder line, are likewise lightened by the colored stitching. There are numerous examples everywhere you turn of this style of blouse. The favorite type is the blouse with the low shoulder, seam, the revers, either of the material or of lace, plain, enhanced with a clever cut of embroidery, or trimmed with buttons, and the pointed low Robespierre collar. When this type of waist is not desired the blouse with the vest is selected. One of the simplest, and yet one of the daintest, of these waists was shown this week in an exclusive French shop. The waist was fashioned from a cream chalille with a dainty Dresden plink and blue rose design. It was cut with the usual low shoulder seam, and the long sleeves were softened at the wrist with a frill of net extending nearly to the elbow. From the neck to the hem, there was a narrow vest of white satin, with tiny amber buttons, flanked on either side by narrow white satin turnback revers. It was simplicity itself, but very dainty and very appealing. Walst for the Suit. To wear with the suit of cloth or velvet, a good looking waist is a necessity. Although the waists of today do not match as completely the skirt as they did last winter, there is a clear connecting link. The favorite fabrics for these blouses are net, chiffon, lace, silk, brocades, the bewitching new, crepes, fallle silk and other materials of the silk alliance. For the everyday blouse to wear in the morning, crepe, taffeta and satin are the materials usually chosen, and the blouse follows the lines of one of the simpler styles. A blouse of charmuse matching in color the skirt, is an excellent style. The vest is a prominent feature of this blouse, and vests are very much in demand this season. The gravat of plaid taffeta is a happy thought, lending just the right touch of color. It outlines the vest, loses itself under the fastening of the blouse and reappears in the tablike ends hanging over the belt. The shaping of the shoulder seam suggests the raglan shoulder, which is again popular this season. The cuff is unusually deep, extending almost to the elbow. It is open on the outer seam and trimmed with buttons. The other blouse of the same material, which should match the skirt of the suit in coloring, displays a vest of the plaid taffeta with ends projecting over the patent leather belt. A very chic blouse to complement the tailored suit is of satin, in a matching tone, with a finely tucked chemisette-of-linen. This chemisette is low, reaching almost to the waist line. so that it gives one very much the appearance of the tucked shirt worn by a man in evening dress. The high collar worn with this bibbed is of linen, with turnback corners, and is finished at the neck with a narrow oravat of black velvet ending in a little pump bow. The sleeves, long, of course, are set into a slightly enlarged arnhelot and are finished with a narrow turnback cuff with three large fancy buttons matching the four buttons which fasten the blouse and the belt. It is severe, but very snappy. The blouses which called forth the exclamations of surprise, then words of praise, from women in quest of clothes, were distinguished by the queer, subtle colorings which entered into their make up. One was of an old, gold cotton, ratine or jacaric. It opened in the front over a vest of white satin with brilliant, royal blue satin buttons. The vivid color note struck by these buttons was further accentated by pinings of the same hue which marked the low shoulder seam and edged the collar of the material. A new idea, which hitherto has been shown only in coats, is the stitching of this collar to the foundation of the waist in the back. Another was of cream tinted lace with bretelles of the ceru agaric—which looks just like Turkish towelling, one woman remarked. These bretelles extended to form a deep collar in the back. Still another was of a figured ratine in a king's blue and strong red. There were revers of black satin which extended over the shoulders, deep cuffs of the satin reaching even above the elbow, and a high crushed collar of the same material. The blouse was, frankly speaking, more unusual than attractive, but it is certainly the herald of many of these separate blouses fashioned from ratine and fabrics of this type. Touch of Fur. No blouse is too filmy to escape the touch of fur. In fact, it is seen more often on the delicate creation of chiffon and lace than on the waist of silk. One deliciously creamy chiffon blouse displayed a vest of white satin, which 1 was outlined with a narrow strip of skunk fur. This fur was extended onto the collar and appeared again as a finish for the long sleeves. Ermine is used generously on many blouses, answering as it does so admirably the demand for black and white effects. Indoor Blouses. The first is a simple style in white drill; it has one wide tuck taken over each shoulder, stitched to waist back and front; for the collar and cuffs butcher blue drill is used; a rounded tab is cut in with right front, this is taken over to left where a button and loop trim it; plain material forms the singlet. Materials required: 1½ yards drill 35 inches wide, ½ yard butcher blue, 1 button. In the second sketch is shown a dressy blouse in apple green foulard striped with black; a panel with the stripes cut to run horizontally is taken down center of front, which is trimmed at top by a "V" of lace, outlined with a fold of black satin. The collar is of lace, also the cuffs, and a strip edged with a binding of the satin is taken over shoulders to waist, back and front. Materials required: 2 yards foulard 40 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards lace, 18 inches wide. Some of the prettiest little frocks this season are of silk in a close-narrow stripe of light green and dull pink, alternating with white. This is made in the plainest form possible, the stripe providing the trimming, while for relief there is a turd-down collar of plain green silk, the little blouse corsage fastening, down the middle of the front upon a plain band of green spliced silk into the gown. The long sleeves are similarly trimmed, and the skirt is finished with two gathered frills at the foot, making a very young and girlish ensemble. Slashed Hems. The new slashed hem, however, has removed one of the greatest difficulties of the extremely narrow skirt, giving a much desired freedom in walking that sensible American women insist upon having, in spite of fashion's edicts, says Harper's Bazaar. In this modified form the slashed skirt is entirely practical, as the slash is not apparent except when the wearer is in motion, when a plaited under section of the material is revealed.

Mrs. Mary M. Ford, an old citizen died on Monday of last week, and was buried on Wednesday afternoon from the First African Baptist Church, Rev. W. L. Jones officiating. She lived a christian, life. She was a member of the First African Baptist Church for 50 years; she was 75 years old. She leaves a daughter, a grand daughter and grand son and one great grand daughter. Arthur Mungin was born August 17th, 1901, died October 5th, 1912. Litle Arthur left the city with his mother, Mrs.Jennie Mungin for Chicago, to make their home. Shortly after being there she died. He then returned with his grandmother, Mrs. Emma C. Heyward on the 31st, of August, to the city when unexpectedly the angel of death came for_him. His short life was lived in making others happy. He was to every one kind and loving, and to his grandmother his love was unbounded. He was her joy and life. He is survived by his grandmother, Mrs. E. C. Heyward and one uncle Mr. J. R. Heyward of Savannah; a brother Mr. William Heyward of Chicago; two aunts Mrs P. J. Cosey, of Chicago and Mrs A. F. Barnwell of South Carolina.

The Allen Christian Endeavor Union League at Gaines Chapel was well attended considering the rain on last Sunday. After singing and remarks by the president, the League recited heart verses. Scripture lesson was read by Brother W. O. P. Sherman Jr. The topic; "Christian Sociability." was opened by Mrs. Davis. Others to speak were Mrs. Drayton, Mr. Roberts, Mrs. H. E. Smith, Mr. Jesse Brinson, Mr. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr., and Mrs. M. Green. The president then introduced Dr. T. N. M. Smith, who made an excellent lecture on "Activity in the League." President Vickers requested the league to be more active in reforming wayward men and girls. After taking an offering the League adjourned to meet at new St. Philip's November 17th, at 4:30 p. m., at which time the program that was planned for this afternoon will be rendered. The topic for discussion will be "Mistakes often made." Prov. XIX:1-24. The public is cordially invited to come and participate in this discussion. W. L. Vickers; President; Miss N. M.

MAX COOPER F. B. B. Church. Despite the inclement weather on Sunday, there was a very good attendance at church all day and even at night. In the morning Rev. Wright discussed very forcibly, the character of Moses. It was truly interesting and much enjoyed. At night the honored guest was the Morning Call Aid and Social Club. An excellent history of the club was read by the secretary. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Psalm 135. He heartily welcomed the club. His text was from Acts 16:17. The subject was "Salvation." The sermon was beautifully illustrated and well received. The choir rendered beautiful music. The club donated very liberally to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. The exercises of the B. Y. P. U. were very interesting. Mr. S. D. Scott discussed Christian Character very plainly. Miss D. Woodson sang sweetly "My Mother's Prayer." Come at any time. Social Happenings A very pretty home affair was the wedding reception of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bainley which they celebrated on Wednesday two weeks ago at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. H. Deas, 312 Gaston street, west. The decorations were done in pink and white rose, interwoven in green vines. The refreshments were served in delmonico's style.
