VOLUME XXVIII Gov. Blease Pours Forth Spleen. Gov. Blease Pours Forth Spleen. WORDS CAUSE WOMEN TO DEPART FROM HALL IN HASTE Governor Gilchrist Tells Him of Manliness—Lynch Law Condemned by Many Speakers in Emphatic Terms Richmond, Va., Dec. 5.—Fully half of the fifty women in attendance at the conference of governors this afternoon hurriedly departed from the meeting when Gov. Cole L. Blease, for the second time defending the policy of lynching negroes guilty of criminal assault, shouted "To h—l with the constitution!" Gov. Blease's declaration was made in response to a question by Gov. Joseph M. Carey of Wyoming. Gov. Carey desired to know if the South Carolina executive had not taken an oath to uphold the constitution and laws of his state and if these laws did not protect negroes as well as whites. "I will answer that question," replied Gov. Blease. "When the constitution steps between me and the defense of the virtue of the white women of my state, I will resign my commission, tear it up and throw it to the breezes. As I have said before, 'To h—l with the constitution!'" When the several women present arose and left the hall Gov. Blease ceased speaking. Among the women who made their exit were the wives and daughters of several governors attending the conference. Gov. Albert W. Gilchrist of Florida took exception to Gov. Blease's remarks. Rising to his feet he declared: "The first thing that indicates a manly man or a womanly woman is thoughtful consideration for other people." His remarks were greeted with cheers from the audience. - Referring to the lynch law doctrine. Gov. John F. Shafroth of Colorado said: "One mob can do more injury to society than twenty murderers, because lynching permeates the entire community and produces anarchy. The influence of mob rule is most reprehensible. When laws are made it should be the duty of the governor to enforce them, whether he approves or not. When the law prescribes hanging for an offense, and a man is found guilty, he should be hanged whether white or black and there is no excuse for mob law. I conceive it to be our duty as governors to declare for law and order." Gov. W. W. Kitchen of North Carolina announced that there had not been a lynching in that state in six years and expressed the belief that there should be convictions in practically every case where there is a lynching. Gov. Mann of Virginia stated that he would call out every militiaman in the state if necessary to protect a man under arrest and give him a fair trial. Death Sentence Prisoner Baptized. On last Sunday morning a most unusual scene was witnessed by prisoners in the Chatham County jail, when Solomon Williams, sentenced to be hung for the murder of his mother-in-law was baptized by Rev. R V. Sutton, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist church and Rev. W. L. Williams of 507 West Park avenue Revs. E D. Davis and J. H. Edwards were also present. The service was very impressive. The prisoners were asked to join in the singing which they did in a very impressive manner. Rev. Sutton read a few verses from the bible after which Rey. Williams made a very pathetic prayer. The condemned man was then marched to the tub, which was prepared and Revs Sutton and Williams baptized him. The prisoners marched in a line behind the condemned man down the corridor, to the tub, and witnessed the ceremony which was very sad.

The Savannah Tribune The marriage at St. Stephen's Episcopal church Thanksgiving evening of Miss Eleanor L. Jones, the elder daughter of Capt. and Mrs. F. F. Jones, to Mr. Samuel G. Dent of Brunswick, Ga., was an exceptionally beautiful event, followed by a reception at the home of the bride's parents, 506 east Henry street. The church was very beautifully decorated for the occasion in southern smilax and palms which made a very effective background for the yellow gowns of the bridesmaids and distinctly brought out the color scheme, yellow and green. Special interest surrounded the wedding for the bride has been, since her debut several years ago, one of the most admired of the younger society girls. The church was filled with guests some time before the ceremony and while they were assembling, Mr. Charles McDowell, the organist, rendered some charming numbers. As the bride and her attendants entered the church, the bridal chorus from Lohengrin was beautifully played. The ushers, Mr. Marion Johnson, Mr. Matthew Jones, Mr. Valdore Giles and Mr. Tattall of Brunswick, passed up the aisle first, standing on either side of the pulpit; then the two groomsmen, Mr. John Carr and Mr. Ducan Scott, following these were the bridesmaids, Miss Anna Tucker and Miss Clinton Dingle who took their places next to the groomsmen on opposite sides of the altar, next came the maid of honor, sister of the bride. Immediately preceding the bride came the little flower girls, strewing rose petals from their baskets of yellow roses in the path of the bride. The bride entered with her father and was met at the altar by Mr. Dent and his best man, Dr. Charles Hoskins, of Brunswick. Amid the gentle strains of "Oh, Promise Me," impressively rendered by the organist, the ceremony was performed in a most solemn manner by the rector, Arch Deacon Richard Bright, at the conclusion of which Mendelssohn's wedding march was played as recessional. The bride in her wedding gown of white satin charmeuse and duchess lace was a picture of exquisite beauty. The corsage was v-shaped neck and finished at the throat with rhinestones. Over the left shoulder was laid a plastron of duchess lace and an ornament of pearls extended across the entire front, the short sleeves were of duchess lace with trimmings of pearls and rhinestones. The train, which was round, hung from the waist and was very artistically and beautifully trimmed with hand-made chiffon and satin roses, which outfitted a delicately tucked inset of satin charmeuse which made a beautiful finish for the train and at the top of which was a large satin bow. The skirt was gracefully, draped on one side and caught with ropes of pearls extending from side-front to the train, the other side having a large bow holding a similar drapery in place, with a panel-like effect of duchess lace just above the drapery which gave an additional touch of charm and beauty. The bride wore a tulle veil with cap of real lace held in place by a garland of orange blossoms. She wore a handsome lavilliere necklace of pearls and carried a bouquet of white roses, lilies of the valley and maiden hair fern. Miss Mildred Jones, maid-of-honor, wore a charming gown of white satin veiled in crystal net with trimmings of crystal bands and fringe. The skirt had a crystal net tunic caught up with rosettes of chiffon and bottom of skirt was finished with a wide puffing of satin. The bodice was v neck edged with crystal bands and the short sleeves were draped in crystal net edged with crystal fringe and bands. She wore a crystal bandeau in her hair and carried yellow chrysanthemums tied with yellow ribbon. The bridesmaids' gowns were of yellow satin charmeuse draped with yellow chiffon and shadow lace. The bodice was of chiffon and lace with rhinestone banding. The draperies of the skirt were held in place with ornaments of crystal and pearl. They wore crystal bandeaux with aigrettes, and carried yellow chrysanthemums tied with yellow ribbon. The flower girls, little Misses Hilda Edwards and Edwina Perry, wore dainty lace dresses over yellow and carried baskets of yellow SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1912 Eiks Hold Lodge of Sorrow EXERGISES AT PEKIN THEATRE VERY IMPRESSIVE Large Crowd in Attendance—Splendid Music Was Feature of Service—Addresses Very Appropriate. The local lodge, Weldon, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, met in their annual memorial services at the Pekin Theatre last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The services were very impressive and were attended by a large and appreciative audience. The theatre was appropriately decorated for the occasion and the afternoon was one long to be remembered. The music for the occasion, both vocal and instrumental, was very touching and creditably rendered. Mr. Yates Rogers acted as master of ceremonies in a very creditable manner. Many enlogistic addresses were made by the speakers. The lodge assembled at the Masonic Temple and in solemn procession marched to the theatre where a large crowd awaited the services. The Air Dome Closes Considerable surprise was occasioned last Saturday night when it became known to the patrons of the Air Dome that it would be closed after the last show that night for an indefinite period. It is not known just when it will resume operations and on account of its closing on such short notice its patrons are at a loss to find a reason for its abrupt cessation of operation. There have been many and diverse reasons for its closing given by some who claim to know, but none of a very satisfactory nature. The best explanation of which we have any knowledge is the notice placed on a placard outside the theatre which reads, "Closed for impropements, watch the Air Dome." The bride's mother was gowned in a handsome taupe satin with corsage veiled with gray chiffon, and yoke and sleeves of lace. Mrs. J. R. Jones of Philadelphia, Pa., sister-in-law of the bride, was very becomingly gowned in pink crepe-de-chene with bodice and tunic veiled in pink chiffon. The v shaped yoke and sleeves were finished with bands of pearl and crystal fringe and front part of lace yoke was trimmed with dainty pink buttons. The girdle was of crepe-de-chene having a black velvet bow at the back, the ends of which extended a little below the knee where the tunic of chiffon, drawn back, was held in place by another black velvet bow. Mrs. Sophie Moulden was exquisitely gowned in a steel gray satin veiled with gray chiffon, the bodice was elaborately trimmed with embroidered cloth of silver with collar and yoke of shadow lace. The skirt was draped in gray chiffon and at the bottom of tunic was a handsome band of the embroidered cloth of silver and a wide fold of steel gray panne velvet finished the skirt. The reception was largely attended, and with the beautiful decorations of the house, in which the color scheme was distinctly brought out by the yellow chrysanthemums and southern smilax, and the beautifully gowned women and well groomed men made it a very beautiful affair. In the parlor Mr. and Mrs. Dent stood under an arch, of palms to receive congratulations. All during the reception beautiful music was rendered in the second parlor by the Misses Alice and Helen Ellis. The wedding gifts were numerous and costly. Mr. and Mrs. Dent left next morning at 4:30 o'clock for Brunswick, Ga., where they will make their future home. The bride wore for the journey a tailored coat suit of gray broadcloth with chiffon blouse of the same shade, and a becoming tailored hat. The out-of-town guests were: Mrs. J. R. Jones of Philadelphia, Pa., Mrs. Jones, Dr. Charles Hoskins and Mr. Tattnall of Brunswick, Ga. Municipal Election January 14th FIGHT PROMISES TO BE VERY INTERESTING Both Sides Claim To Be Confident Of Out-come—Registration Shows Nearly Six Hunded Negro Voters The city election which will be held on January 14th, bids fair to become one of the most interesting fights in the history of local politics. The administration, in selecting Capt. George P. Walker to head their ticket, is confident of carrying the election, while the Davant forces are of the opinion that nothing lies in their road to victory. The registration books show a slight increase in the number of Negro voters over that of two years ago. The total number of votes which are in the hands of the colored citizens is 591. The 24th of November was a glorious day for the New Catholic Mission for colored people in Atlanta. On that day the Right Rev. Bishop Keily solemnly dedicated the new combination church and school with imposing ceremonies. It was a beautiful November day, and in the early morning people of both races and of various religious denominations came to the new church which was filled to its utmost capacity. At 10 a.m., the Bishop, surrounded by Priests and altar boys, first blessed the outside of the building; afterwards the procession moved up to the High Altar, where the impressive prayers of the Catholic Ritual were recited by the clergy, and the Bishop solemnly dedicated the church to the glory of God under the invocation of our Lady of Lourdes After the dedicatory service, solemn High Mass was celebrated by Very Rev. Ignatius Lissner, assisted by Father Dahlent, as deacon and Father Laue as sub-decan. The Bishop was present as a throne, and was assisted by Fathers Rapier and Jackson; Father Scherer acted as master of ceremonies. St. Benedict's choir that had come up from Savannah on Saturday night, rendered the music, which was certainly one of the most pleasant features of the celebration. The choir was at its best and sang Wiegand's beautiful Mass with perfection; it received the heartiest congratulations of the congregation. The Bishop preached an eloquent sermon and explained the meaning of the celebration of the day; in the name of Father Lissner, he also extended sincere thanks to the Atlanta people for the generous help they had given him in the erecting of the building. The joyful hymn, "Holy God," sung by the entire congregation, ended that grand celebration, which will be long remembered by all those who witnessed it. It was a day of joy above all for Father Lissner, who, after many trials and difficulties in the beginning, saw his untiring zeal crowned with glorious success. It was a day of encouragement for Father Scherrer, the pastor of the new church; for the large congregation of white and colored people, who were present, showed true sympathy for the noble cause for which the church and school have been erected and which may look forward to a bright future. At 5 p.m., the Parish Hall was again filled with a large crowd of persons of both races, who had assembled to hear the Right Rev. Bishop, who gave a most interesting lecture about the famous Shrines of Lourdes. The lecture was beautifully illustrated with pretty stereoptical views. It was late in the evening when the Right Rev. Lecturer concluded his inspiring conference and the entire audience joined in the singing of a thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessings received during that memorable day. St. Benedict's choir returned to Savannah the same night, after having been warmly entertained by the colored people of Atlanta. St. Benedict's church, of Savannah, was represented by Father Dahlent and St. Xavier church of Augusta by Father Laube, who both had brought the best wishes of the colored Catholics of those cities. Ad multos annosl -St. Bene dict's Messenger. "Over Home" News, Beaufort, South Carolina. J. S. Blocker, Correspondent. The many friends of Mrs. Dora Powell will be pinned to learn of her death which occurred on Friday morning the 29th ult., at her home on Lady's Island. Mrs. Powell belonged to one of the oldest families in Camden, S. C. She was a member of Household of Ruth and Good Samaritans, which took charge of her remains. Her funeral was one of the largest seen on Lady's Island. The floral offerings were beautiful. She leaves a son and husband, Mr. John Powell, and a host of friends to mourn their loss. As the holiday season approaches and the merry times draw near sounds of wedding bells are ringing. Watch this column for the contracting parties. Miss Ida Holmes is in the city. She was called home on account of the illness of her mother on West street. Miss Mamie Bythewood died at her home corner Charles, and Graven streets, Saturday morning 30th unit., after an illness of a few days. She leaves a sister and a host of friends to mourn their loss. The burial took place from Tabernacle Baptist church, Sunday. 3:30 p.m. Mrs. A. J. Falk and family left the city this week to spend a few months at Aiken with friends. One of the most beautiful affairs that have taken place in Beaufort for some time was that of the Smart Set Thanksgiving ball at the auditorium on Thanksgiving night. The auditorium was handsomely decorated with flowers and the music which the Beaufort Orchestra furnished was the very best. Dancing and games were the features of the evening. Light refreshments were served. Among the Masons Our Grand Master, H. R. Butler, has been invited to deliver an address before the Grand Lodge of South Carolina at Charleston next week. He will ably represent Georgia. All of the Lodges will elect officers this month. Put only the best men on guard. Send in the names of the newly elected officers. Do not wait for a blank to do so. The Lodges must begin now to collect Grand Lodge dues from the brethren in order to send in their full report before March first. This is Christmas month, do not forget the poor orphans at Americus. In the history of mankind there are few things more remarkable than that Masonry and Civilization have gone hand and hand together; the Orders in Architecture mark their growth and progress. Dark, dreary and comfortless were those days when Masonry had not laid her line, or extended her compasses; the race of mankind, in full possession of wild and savage liberty—Missouri Freemason. Masonry should never become common. Its perpetuity and its value rest upon the intelligence and moral personnel of its membership and a daily exemplification in their lives of its cardinal virtues. Let us heed well the points of fellowship and not only put forth the hand to save a falling brother, but also to assist him to rise to higher planes of life and usefulness. Let not the rivalries of trade or the jealousies of ambition mar the environment of the Temple; and may we take to our hearts the great truth that there is no service so acceptable to the infinite God as the unselfish, sacrificing service of our fellowman.—Ex. The friendship which shall be formed in the lodge room, the pleasant commingling of the brethren, will constitute, in the years to come, precious memories and sacred heritages. It is our earnest wish, therefore, that within these walls, consecrated to Masonic service, your friendships may be even more closely cemented; that a spirit of the most undeviating harmony may always prevail, and that the lustre of golden rule may radiate its influence upon the lives and characters of its members, all of whom NUMBER 12 Colored State Fair Successful Colored State Fair Successful ATTENDANCE COMPARES FAVORABLE WITH PAST YEARS Exhibitions Very Creditable— Several Prizes Won By Savannahians—Athletics an Attractive Feature The sixth annual Colored State Fair which began in Macon, Ga., on the eighteenth of last month came to a close on Thanksgiving night. This session of the fair was considered one of the most successful ever held by the promoters of the Fair. The agricultural exhibits consisting of farm products, live stock and poultry, were very highly praised, as also were the displays shown in the Woman's building. The mechanical exhibits also came in for their due share of praise The attendance compared favorably with that of former years and on several days it was adjudged by many the largest in recent years. Among the distinctly attractive features of this session of the fair were the athletics which proved very interesting. Many of the local exhibitors of work at the fair were numbered among those to receive prizes, and their work was very highly commended we hope and expect will contribute to it the same measure of loyalty, activity and regular attendance in the future as they have in the past.—Selected. This is election time with the lodges and the different ones throughout the state are starting work under a new regime. The first of the year would be an excellent opportunity for the turning over of a new leaf in matters of Masonic with many members of the craft. To their credit be it said that most of the old officers, just retiring, have been most faithful, and that most of the new ones just coming in, will be equally faithful. Nearly all of them realize to the full the responsibility that rests upon them. They know that unless they set the example of regularity and punctuality there will be little to hope from the lodge members. Masonry enforces moral doctrine and practice, therefore it persistently seeks to unite men, regardless of race, according to the principles of the golden rule. It concerns itself about what is right and just, rather than what is expedient and advantageous. The real good of its devotees is the essential spirit of all that it says and does. It is impersonal and yet personal; intensive and at the same time, extensive. As to its deeds of charity and good-will, it is both impersonal and extensive. In its operations upon the minds and hearts of its followers it is both personal and intensive. This process of training is intended to transform the lives of its members from that of disinterestedness and inactivity in the welfare of others to that of hearty and unselfish service in their behalf. To protect the widow, educate the orphan and house the infirm Mason are duties prescribed by its ritual and by the exercise of which there comes to the obedient or largeness of genuine pleasure. The Mason who has been inactive in this respect is without the "charm-cirele" of Masonry. Passwords, signs, and even learned and attractive renditions of Masonic charges, do not admit one into this "charmed circle," but lives devoted to the interest of others gain one admission. It is here that the grateful tears of the widow, the innocent smile of the orphan, and the affectionate benedictions of the aged are seen, heard and felt; and the faithful witness of these is transformed into an ever-willing agent of cheerful service in the interest of others.—Ex.

An analysis of the complement of a modern man-of-war shows not ‘only that 50 per cent. of the men of such complement are skilled men, but that of these the greater part are skilled in the work that 1s entirely confined to the navy. Such are tur. ret-and gun captains and crews, fire controls, turbine machinery, etc. The demand, therefore, for new men tn _ time of war can only be filled by those who havo had this particular training. There are thousands of men in the country who havo had this trataing in the navy. The department has no doubt but that in time of emergency these men will glvo thelr services to tho country. It Is felt, however, that. since modern wars begin quickly and last only a short time, the services ‘of such men can be most valuably em- ployed by organizing in time of peace. Such {s the object of the naval re- serve. But there 1s another object to be gained by getting together the men who Haye served In the navy. That object is to keep allve In their minds an foterest In the navy by keeping alive the memories of their own as- soclations. There 1s no class of men 4n the country whose experiences are analagous to thoso who have served 4n the navy. To the merchant sallor there are experiences of the sea, of ‘strange fiorts and foreign people; but to the manof-war's man there are all these and more, for there are active campaigns In those remote places, and there are contests and competitions from baseball and boat races to turret guns and high speed suns. Looking over the history ‘of this coilntry, {t 1s found that after each war, organizations, societies have deen formed for the express purpose of keeping alive thelr associations; such are the Order of the Cincinnati; ‘the Aztie society, Loyal Legion and ‘Grand Army of the Republic, Spanish- American War Veterans, etc. Tho man-of-war's man of today and of the future will likely have some campaign Jarger or smaller In his experience. ‘With his Interest allve, the desire to return at intervals fora briet associa- ton with his old serrice, to renew personal associations, and observe the changes and Improvements in the ‘material, will, It 1s belleved, ve a great gratification to the ex-service man. For unless he Is totally difter- ent from all other men, his destre to return to tHe fleet will be the samo as that which sends the hundreds of thousands—probably —_millions—each year to yell and scream themselves ‘hoarse over a contest between thelr college and some rival. Consequent- Jy, prellminary to the formation of this branch of the proposed naval reserve {t 1s necessary to have the address of each man, In order that he aay be eémmunicated with. There- fore, It fs requested that each man honorably discharged from the navy send his address to the office of Naval Reserve, Navy Yard, Washington, D.c. AID FOR THE IDLE. “Utilization of the schoolhouses of “the country as employment offices for those out of work has been taken un- der consideration by tho United States bureau of education, which has ap- proved any movement that will make \the schoolhouses more gencral In thelr sphere ‘of usefulness. Professor John R. Commons of the Wisconsin indus- trial commission 1s one of the princt- pal advocates of the plan to utilize the schools as labor exchanges. ‘The proposed plan contemplates the opening of a regular channel of in- tercommuntcation between the schools ofa state with reference to the un- employed. Through the drectors of ‘he social centers connected with the ‘schoothouses, the man out of work, on registering the fact of his iack of em- ployment, could be placed in touch with employers over a broad’ field. Educators and scientists beliove the organization of such a syatom would ‘do a vast amount of good In popular- dzing education. “While educators have no way of finding out,” says the bureau In a statement issued the other day, “Just ‘how far the suggestion will be adopt ed, the fact that a proposal Ilke this recelves attention proves how wide spread Is the sentiment In favor of any and all projects involving a wider use ‘of school plant for the benefit of the community. ‘The study of children tn school, tc aid and advise them in choosing thelr ‘ite work, also fs advocated, ALASKAN RAIL ROUTES. An exploring expedition of four ‘men, each expert in his own line, has gone to Alaska to make a study of Aleska transportation, which will re- sult In a report to the congress in December, recommending a definite plan “in respect to the best and most available routes for railroads in Alas- ka which will develop the country and the Fisourees thereot for the uve of Wee people of the Urited Sta es.” ‘The chairman of this commission ts Major J. J, Morrow, U. S. A., engineer corps: Alfred H. Brooks of tho geo logical survey, Leonard N. Cox, U. 5. N., engineer corps, and C. McR. In- gersoll, consulting engineer on bridge affairs in the employ of the city of New York, This commission, which gets Its power from the act, passed at the Jast session, creating a legislative as- sembly in the territory of Alaska, was appolnted by President Taft, with instructions to examine the transportation question In Alaska, the rallroad routes from seaboard to the coal flelds and to the interior “and navigable waterways, to obtain sur- veyg, and other information with re- epect to rallroads, including cost of constrnction and operation. It is be- Ueved in Washington that when this commission reports it will recom mend that the kovernment construct and operate a federal railroad, elther to the Bering river coal field or else to the Matanuska coal fields. MAY BE WHITE HOUSE BRIDE. ‘The advent of a presidential house- hold with three ‘marriageable daugh- ters forming a, part of it—somethtng unprecedented—arouses “Washington socfety to speculation as to the poss: bility of one or more White House weddings during the Wilson admints- tration. * = Although the Wilson sisters are known as “bachelor maids,” there {s ever a tendency toward romance {n the Ives of the youngér occupants of the historic mansion, and therefore the possibility that.one or more of the Wilson girls will bring about a change of title. ‘A delver into the romances of the mansion has called attention to the old thirteen superstition by discover- ing that the next White House bride will be the thirteenth. Alice Roose- velt, the last White House bride, was the twelfth. The one before that was Frances Folsom, who became Mrs. Grover Cleveland. Emily Platt, a niece of President Hayes, was mar ried in the White House during her uncle’s administration, to Gen. Rus- sell Hasting. + ‘The question asked now 1s whether one of the Wilson girls will flout su- perstition and become the thirteenth White House bride. MANY CIGARETTES SMOKED. ‘The American people are drinking more whisky and beer and smoking more cigars and cigarettes than ever before in history, according to tax re: turns received by Royal E. Cabell, cémmissfoner of internal revenue. From July 1 to October 1, 1912, more than 3,800,000,000 cigarettes ‘were smoked, an increase of one bil Hon over the corresponding period of the previous year, which broke all records. The nation consumed 33,150,000 gal- lons of whisky during July, August and September, an increase of 450,000 gallons as compared with that huar- ter of 1911, while nearly 1,950,040,000 cigars were smoked during that time. The clgar consumption promises to es- tablish a record. ‘A total of 19,500,000 barrets of beer were consumed during the three months, which was 320,000 barrels moré than In the same period ‘of 1911. This somewhat surprised reve- nue officials, as beer drinking fell off considerably during the fiscal year ended June 30 lgst. That decrease was partly accounted for by Commls- sioner Cabell by the increased popu- larity of buttermilk as a summer drink. REBUILDING A STEGASARUS. Down at the national museum a squad of scientists are rehabilitating ‘a stegasarus whose spitit fled to the happy hunting grounds some millions of years ago. This particular stegasarus who was known famillarly‘as an armored dino- saur, scampered about the lowlands of Colorado some aeons before Adam and Eve made their appearance in the Garden of Eden. Nothing is known of bis genealogy except in a general way, and the Immediate members of his family left no traces behind. About thirty years ago a sclentist discovered this stegasarus in -many pleces, ossified to a boulder. The boulder was brought to Washington in fragments, and about a year ago hammer and chisel were put to work removing stegasariis from boulder. The work of,putting his body and limbs together has just started, and the sclentists are confident that when their labor is completed they will have a sureenough specimen that will pass muster in any menagerie. It 1s estimated that when be romped about the world in the jueras sc period he carried about ten tons o! bone and body. Answering a Point of Etiquette. William Henry: If, while you are making an evening call, the young lady of the family ts pushed forward to entertain, and begins to back and fill and declaro that she ts so—ee-Hee! hee!—hoarse that she just knows she can’t sing a note, it is bad form for you to give three cheers. Etiquette does not often demand the active or audible, form of lying, but the passive form—l. e., saying nothing, no matter how palnful—is en regle ‘most any time, You should always strive to be a gentleman, let the chips fall where they may.

It 1s due to her indefatigable industry, her wide acquaintance, her high char- acter as a woman, and the confidence that wealthy and influential men have tn her, that the association has be }come £0 prosperous and a power for good.” So, when the selection of officers came about, she was made chairman of the executive board, which 1s com- posed otherwise of men. Hard-headed old generals, accustomed to ordering about battalions of men, and grave surgeons to whom the mihutiae of hos- pital work {s sacred, were pleased to find sterling qualities in this woman whom they had hitherto regarded only in the light of a society leader. The work grew amazingly atter she ‘once got “in harness.” She was cap- able of interesting the most blase per- son In the cause. In 1911, Yale con- ferred a degree upon her, the only oth- er woman to share the honor being Jane Addams. President Taft, his cabinet and other dignitarfes were present when she received It. Govern- ments, too, have honored her. Swe- den presented her with a fold medal two years ago; and Italy, through the Marquis de Montegilari,.gave her a facsimile of the Roman Civic crown, ag a tribute to the work of the Amerl- can Red Cross at the ttme of the earthquake at Messina.

Why Is It that we neglect to use the left hand so much? asks London Answers. Among English-speaking people 97 out of every 100 are right-handed when they reach maturity. Out of every 100 such persons 17 aro born right-banded, and the romaining 80 are born without preference as to either hand. Elghty are foftuenced to become strongly right-handed during the early childhood. No great asset of the world ts s0 neglected as the average left hand. Formerly all the world’ was ambidex- trous. Primitive man had no prefer- erence which hand he used. And in various parts of the world efforts are now belng made to revive the use of the left hand. Japan has for many years been [teaching tnohandedness to the men of her army and in her public schools. ‘The German government Is following Japan’s example.

Many Ingenlous Dodges Employed by Smart Rogues In Their Efforts to Rob the Unwary Victims of ‘Thelr Efforts. Re an Ree eee earner eter ne tt afforded of the marvelous ingenuity ef the modern thief. Recently _& couple of rogues nearly succeeded in extracting a valuable pin from the cravat of a man sitting between them in a music hall by means of an almost invisible horsehair ‘Stretching trom the right hand of one thief to the lett hand of bis accomplice. The thieves, by simultaneously raising their hands under the pretense of putting their pipes or cigarettes into thelr mouths, tried, by pulling the horsehair taut, gradually to lift the victim's pin from ite place. In this particular Instance, says London Tit-Bits, the trick was not successful, but it is often worked with advantage. If the pin falls to the ground unnoticed the thieves take the earliest opportunity of seizing It, or, by 2 skillful manipulation of the shorse hair, the article may be made to slide down the almost invisible line right Into the hand of one of the thieves. Owlng to the ease with which they are detached, tle pins are the favorite objective with many street thieves, says the Standard, and a great many of them are stolea by means of the old trick known as the “tumbling lady." A well-dressed gentleman, walking along the pavement, notices that a lady crosses bis path, sudden- ly stumbles and lurches forward. In- stinctively he throws open his arms to catch her, and for a moment she resta upon his breast. The next, with a confused apology and thanks, ‘she {s gone, and it Is only some time atterward that the gallant rescuer Alscovers that his tle pin fs also gone, or perhaps his watch. ‘Of course, the average street thief prefers to work in a crowd, and bis enterprise is strikingly illustrated by the fact that if he cannot find a crowd he proceeds to make one» One of the slmpiest methods of doing this {s to take advantage of the inquisitiveness of the average person. It ts only necessary for any one to stand In the street and: gaze upward, as though staring intently at some interesting object, or look over a bridge at some apparently remarkable thing in the wa- ter, to iminedlately attract the pass- ers-by. The strect thief playa upon this weakness of the average Sndivid- ual. He will walk along a thorough- fare, suddenly come to a halt and gaze steadily at something In the alr —possibly it 1s only a chimney pot. Whatever it 4s, the chances are a hundred to one that in a few minutes a crowd of people will stop and stare in the same direction, and then it Is an easy, matter for a confederate to go throhgh the pockets of the gaz- ers. More elaborate was the plan adopt- ed some time ago by three street mu- sicians, who made a fair amount every day by exercising their vocal organs in the suburbs, but whose in- come was considerably augmented by a confederate who relleved the crowd which collected round the’ musicians of whatever cash and other valuables | he could lay his hands on. . ‘hen there ty the ragged little ‘boy who creates consternation and excite- ment among the crowd of seaside vis- itors by tumbling Into the sea off the promenade or pler.

Something of a Slur. “When you try to help other people such puzzling things happen.” sald a pretty young charities Investigator to a newspaper man, and from her subse- quent remarks he gathered that what did happen was this: The well moan- ing girl was trying to find out why the poor man was Idle. “Can't you find work?" she ventured, sympa- thetically. “Sure, miss, any day I want it” “Well, why aren't you working today, then, Instoad of sitting in the house doing nothing?” “I didn’t feel good today.

Protective, Yet Light Garments, Im- perative on Such a Journey—Foot Coverings of the Best a Thing of Much Importance. On the first part of the journey we used double sleeping bags. The outer one of the skin of reindeer buck. Tho inner one of light skin of reindeer doe or reindeer calf. Both had the hairy side in. Outside the two we hada cover of Hght linen cloth, somewhat longer than the bags. This cover was always kept on, both in the tent and on the march. In the tent it protected the bags from damp, while on the march tt kept the driven snow entirely out. Our foot coverings had necessitated much consideration, and wero of the very best. The great thing for us was to combine sufficient rigidity with soft- ness. They must be soft, to keep our feet warm, but atfff ff our skis were to set firmly. I used the following my- self: Outside all, a boot, the solo of which was of solid leather, the outer covering strong, green, windproof cloth. Inside these I had a pair of reindeer skin boots. As for stockings, next the foot I wore a little woolen sock lined with “sennegrass” (a kind of soft grass used by Laplanders in their moccasins). I wore this sock not 0 much for the warmth as to keep the sennegrass {n position. Then a stocking of dog's hair. ‘Then an ordl- nary woolen stocking and then two pairs of gaberdine stockings. With these my feet were never cold. Otherwise we were lightly clad with light clothing under gaberdine outer garments. Our fur clothing, which we took fot use on tho plateau, we nover bad much use for. As long as we had ‘them we used them under our sleep- ing bags at night. Of show spectacles, several kinds were used—ench thought he had dis- covered the best. Personally, I used a “palr of ordinary spectacles with Ight yellow glass; It may seem unheard of to go on an expedition of fifteen hun- dred miles in these surroundings with only a pair of ordinary unprotected spectacles, in which the light can en- ter everywhere—but I did It, and, what {s more, without so much as suffering once from snow blindness. That speaks for the excellence of the glass in them. Doctor Schantz, in Berlin, is the Inventor. By,a process the glasses have undergone they are able to keep out the infurlous rays.

To Restrain the Half Mad.” ‘The important question of “partial responsibility” In cases of criminals judged to be of unbalanced minds has ‘been raised by a letter which was ad- dressed by Dr. -Grasset, the well- known psychiatrist of | Montpeller, (France) university to the minister of justice, Mf. Briand, and which bas called forth much ‘comment from Tegal and medical specialists. Doctor\Grasset Insists that this principle 1s one of the greatest tm- portance to public safety, since in the number of cases where the accused man is certified to as partially insane and discharged as irresponsible, an- other criminal {s let loose on the world to commit further outrages. “Against such an anomaly soclety must defend {tself," he says, “and carry out {ts duty to itself. The man who {s oily half mad must be pun- ished and looked after like an tn- sane men. He should be kept in an asylum, not merely during the timo of his mental crisis, but untit-he shall bo completely cured—for his whole Mfetime if he does not recover.” Doctor Grasset asks that the mints- ter appoint a commission of doctors, jurists, and deputies to study this problem, which he regards as one of the most {mportant of the hour, dine in bieeeebin. Roumania, the dark horse of the Balkans, may be said to have been watted into good government on a cloud of tobacco smoke. For it was the tobacco monopoly established by the » degenerate ruler Couza_ that brought about hls compulsory abdica- tion. Every Roumantan smokes, and Couza came up against a national habit—with thé sual result. It was in 1866 that the present ruler, Prince ‘Charles of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was tnvited, n the teeth of the con- cert of Europe and the sultan, to be- come Couza’s successor, and nothing finer ever happened to Roumanta—ex- cept its queen, Carmen Sylva. But the good fortune of Roumanta fs also due to Bismarck, who counseled the young prince to accept the offered throne, remarking: “If you fall you will at any rate bave a pleasant reminiscence for the rest of your Itfe."—London Chronicle.

CULLINGS Indicative of the progress of the southern nezro are the figures given in regard to the inereased value of farm lands, ‘implements and equip- ment in the report of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, which has just been published. In this report» Booker .T. Washing: ton, principal of the institute, points out that the great need of the south is agricultural education for its ne- Eroes, and calls attentidn to the rela- tion between the prosperity of a farm- ing community and the establish- ment of schools and the advancement of all kinds of education. ‘The large increase in the amount Of property owned by negroes,” says the report, “is, I am gure, duo to the teaching that has gone out from the annual Tuskegee negro conference and similar agencies. I find that the Yalue of domestic animals owned by negro farmers of the south increased during the last ten years 108 per cent., $85,000,000 to $277,000,009; _ poultry, from $4,090,000 to $5,000,000, or 25 per cent; implements and machinery from $18 000,000 to $36,000,000, o 100 per cent. land and buildings from $69,000,000 to $270,000,000, or 293 per cent. The total value of farm prop- erty ovined by southern negroes in- creaseil during the last ten years 177 per cent.” , In his report Washington calls at. tention to the improvement in the staidard of life among the negroes in rural districts® of the south, compar- ing those who now attend the confer- ences and extension meetings of the institute with those Who used to ap- pear at its gatherings, ‘dn former years,” he says, “the con- ference was made up of uncouth rent- ers and croppers and a few owners; now it is largely composed of well- dressed, tnteniighnt, progressive and Wideawake owntrs, eager to discuss farming methods” Mr. Watt Terry, of Broékton, Mass., the joung negro’ real estate’ agent, who has Nad such an exceptional ca: Teer, stated at the recent meeting of the ' National Negro Business league, that he controlled’ real estate aggre- gating $300,000. There were those disposed to discredit Mr. Terry's statement at the time, so-much so that the executive committee of the Dusiness league, through its secretary, made a special report in open session with regard thereto. Since the Chi- cago meeting, Dr. Rooker T. Washing- ton, president of the National Negro Business league, bas been quietly {n- vestigating the matter at the hands of responsible Brockton people. A letter just received from the secre tary of the Young Men’s Christian as- sociation, White, of Brockton, states: “Some weeks ago I wrote you relative to our mutual friend, (Mr. Watt Ter- ry's) business, but now I want to en- close the clipping from the tax list which you will see is positive evl- dence that at the time the taxes were recorded he was carrying well on to- wards $300,000, and I know his large purchase of $120,000 occurred since then, so with the estimated valuation of these properties, n the minds of our best real estate men, I am thor- oughly satisfied that the amounts re ported are very little, if any, over- stated It Is certainly a most wonder- fu} development in a few years.” It must be gratifying to the negro peo- ple everywhere to learn that one of their race has achieved so wonderful- ly In so short a space of time. Mr. Terry is an alert, aggressive, but sin- cerely modest young man. In his promotion to the rank of ma- Jor, just announced at the war depart- ment, Charles Young of the Ninth cav- airy, a negro, becomes the first man of his race to attain that grade in the regular army of the United States. Major Young is ‘also the only negro officer of the army who was graduated from the Military Academy at West Point. Ie has served with the Ninth cavalry, Tenth cavalry and Twenty- fifth infantry, all negro regiments, during bis entire service, with the ex- ception of a year’s service in the Sev- enth cavalry, a white regiment. Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn., fs making efforts to raise the. sum of $185,000 as an endowment fund, and Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan has promised to give the last $25,000. It 1s a generous offer, and if a few others of the wedlthy men and women of the land would be just half as gen- erous as Mr, Morgan the faculty of Fisk would soon be in possession of the suin needed to catry on {ts work. “The interests of one colored man should be the concern of all.” Dr. W.

The dreams of the people who dream, come true to the ones who don’t dream so much as they work. Most people fall to be original be cause they fear to be. In his annual report to the trustees of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, Booker T, Washington states that the total valuation of the personal property, lands, buildings and securt- ties in possession of the trustees Is | $3,006,825.47. Referring to the finan- cial status of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Washington reporte: “I aim glad to say that the number of individual donors to the school. bas increased within the past 12 months. While the aggregate amount {s not as large, it 4s important, in my opinion, to In- crease every year the number of in- dividual small donors. We pave re- eelved during the year from all sources $205,178.88 for operating ex- penses; from undeslgnated legacies (to be'used at the discretion of tho trustees) $26,385.21; for special dona- ‘tons and Improvements of the plant, $23,344.23, of which $22,622.95 is still unexpended. The total amount added to the endowment fund during the year has been $26,560.50, making our endowment fund at the present time $1,859,015.08. The value of the plant at Tuskegee is now $1,362,601.24; the present “value cf the 19,910 acres of mineral land, given by special act of congress some years ago and remain- ing unsold, is about $250,000, mak- ing a total valuation gf the personal property, lands, buildings and securi- ties In the possession of our trustees, $3,606,825.47. - The attendance for the year has ‘been 1,067 ‘young men and 578 young women.

While it would not do to deny absolutely that anything of the kind has ever happened, it s cer- tainly unsafe to assert that it has. , ‘There are a considerable number of cases where stars are now missing ‘from the older catalogues as publish ed—nearly, if not quite, a hundred— but, in almost every instance, exam- ination of the original observations, shows that the place as printed, was a mistake of some sort which can now be traced—soyetimes in the reduction of the observation, and sometimes an error of the press. In a few cases the star observed was a planet (Uranus, Neptune, or an asteroid); and In oth- er cases, the missing star may have deen a “temporary star,” as, for in- stance, 55 Hercules, which was ob- served by the elder Herschel. So manyof the missing stars are now sat- isfactorily explained, that It {s natural to suppose that the few remaining are of the same sort. There is no known instance of a new star appearing and remaining permanently bright.—M. A.

He {s represented as belng superhuman in stature, as were all the heroes of the Iliad and Odyssey. Not only in Uterature, however, were his powers depicted, but in art and marble, stat- ues in the various European museums and universities portray him asa fig- ure of excessive proportions, with a leonine head and curly hair, and of colossal, though not of cumbrous, size.

Who invented the phrase, “Tom Dick and Harry?" That fs what Sir James Murray wants to know in order to embody the information in the next section of his dictionary. He has ex- amples of its use In the United States as far back as-1815, but so far he has not been able to get a sample of its eccurrence in England carller than 1865. Yet his memory tells him that it was in colloquial and newspaper use in this coumzy before 1860. It cannot be thet the »rnverbial trio took fifty years to cross the Atlantic. EARLY AUTOMOBILE. Our attention has been called to the fact that in Reckland, Me., some very interesting experiments were made with a power wagon 35 years ago. Te machine was inyented and built by a man named Parker, a blacksmith of about twenty-three years of age, who came to Rockland from Nova Scotia. He built the ve- hicle, including the engine, during his spare time. The work consumed two of three years, The body, it is sald, was as long as that of the large tour- ing car of today, and was hung very low on the axles. The wheels were solidly fastened to the axles in cuch a manner that corners were turned with difficulty. They had fron tires, and largely for this reason the ma- chine, was able to travel in dry weath- gr on level ground or up a slight in- cline. Parker onco took a trip t Camden, Be. which seems to have been his record. It seems that on his trips he always had a horse tied behind the vehicle. When he,came to a hill the horse was obliged to tow the machine to the top. The inventor's name was painted on the body of the automobile. Power was derived from a steam engine of ten horse-power, sup- plied with steam from a tubular boil- er. Thé fuel was coal, stored In coal bunkers, on the top of which was room for four or five passengers. The speed was safd to have been between four and five miles per hour on a good level road. GALLOPING HORSES. The tongue hanging from a gallop- ing horse's wide-open mouth, which a correspondent has added to the list of “funny things” for which artists are responsible, might be supplemented by another quite impossible posture usually given by artists to a galloping horse. Thousands of pictures exist in our galleries showing horses at full gallop with the front legs extended for- ward and the hind legs extended back- ward, and no one ever suspected any- thing wrong with these representa. tions of galloping horses until instan- tarleous photography made visible movements quite beyond the power of the human eye. A series of cinema- tographic ‘photographs of a galloping horse, if shown slowly on the screen, would astonish most people. Each time ull the legs were seen off the ground they would be actually: folded up under the animal's body and the artistic full stretch gallop would nev: er once materialize. ARITHMETIC OF HAPPINESS. Sydney Smith was fond of the fol lowing arithmetical calculation. “When you rise in the morning,” he said, “form a resolution to make the day a happy one to a fellow-crcature. 1t is easily done; a leftoft garment to the man who needs It, a kind grord to the sorrowful, an encouraging expres: sion to the striving—trifles in them- selves, light as alr—will do it at least for the twenty-four hours. “And if you are young, depend upon It, it will tell when you are old; and if you are old, rest assured {t will send you gently and happily down the stream of time to eternity. By the most simple arithmetical sum look at the result. If you send one person, only one, happily through each day, that is 365 in the course of the year. And supposing you live‘ forty years after you commence that course of medicine, you have made 14,600 beings happy!" ° PORTABLE DIVING APPARATUS. ‘M. Maurice Fernez, a French ex- army man, has invented what may be described as a portable diving apparat- us. It 1s so small that It can be con- tained in a box a foot long and six inches across, and as many inches high» The apparatus Is as simple as it {s light and portable. It con- sists of a tube with a side opening, which fastens hermetically over the mouth of the diver. It is furnish- ed with a valve through which the breath Is expelled, and is fed by a portable pump, which can be worked at will from a boat or from the shore. Recently with®the permission of the prefecture of police, M. Fernez car- ried out successful experiments with his apparatus in the Seine. Clad only in an ordinary bathing costume, and shod with light sandals, M. Fernez made two descents into the river, re- maining on each occasion for a full ten minutes bencath the water. “OUR FRIEND THE ENEMY.” ‘The origin of the saying “Our friend the enemy” 4s to be found Jn letter contained In “Sir George Jackson's “The Bath Archives,” edited by Lady Jackson, 1873, Volume II. His letter 4s In patt as follows: “Paris, April 1, 1814.—C’est un falt accompll, my dear mother. We are here at last, have entered in triumph, and are in pos- session. The entrance of the-conquer- ors into the capital was turned by ‘the Parisians into a great fete. . . . Deafening were the acclamations, the vivas for ‘I'Empereur Alexandre’ were shouted far more vociferously and fre- quently than for "le Ro! de Prussae.” As a specimen of Parisian wit I heard passed along a viva for‘nosamis nos ennemis.’" Hin Vocation Gone.

One Reason Is Lack of Business Meth- ods Same as Employed in Many Other Enterprises—Tax Pay- ers’ Money le Wasted. The bad country road !s a back number. It 1s as much out of plzec and date as the grain cradle or flail thresher. They had bad roads way back in grandfather's time—ever stnce people began to travel, to bau! stuff In modern narrow-tired wagons. They had good roads way back in Caesar's time in the old world. What progress have we made in road build ing? Very Uttle, says the Western Farmer. Over three-fourths of all the miles of country roads in the northwest are still unimproved. In most states 90 per cent would be more nearly correct. Of course every bit of road gets its annual tearing up by the road officials who draw a sal- ary for calling it road “improvement. ‘There's a reason why country roads are bad. Can't lay it to the weather or-the road material either. As one farmer says: “I have seen In 23 years ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars of ‘tax payers’ money expended on the ‘roads in town and country, but after all our roads are still as bad as ever.” As bad as ever—what a comment to make upon the appearance of country homes had {t been said that the farms had not bevn. improved in 23 years! But no, the farms have improved, the towns have grown and business places are better than they were 23 years ago, but tho“country roads are “as bad as ever" after spending for- tunes upon them. The reason {s that road building Is not done In the same businesslike manner that other things are man- aged. We have seen the creamery come Into existence. We have scen the skilled butter maker turning out cartloads of butter finer than that made bythe farmers before the creameries took the job off their hands. Science and business methods have made the change in butter mak- ing. But the roads are “as bad as ever” because it 1s a farmer's job to be done when It suits his convenience. It is done by men who have never studied the sclence of road building. It 1s done in a hit-and-miss method, devold of business principles. This is why hundreds of thousands of the taxpayers’ money has falled to make the roads any better. And again we say it is not because of bad weather or poor road-bullding material. The buttermaker takes bad cream and makes pretty good butter from {t be- cause he knows how. Of course he could do better with good cream. Likewise the skilled road builder can make good roads of just plain coun. try dirt, because he knows how. Of course, he could do better with crush- ed rock and all that. It fs not a scarcity of money or of material, but a lack of the right system that fs re- sponelble for bad roads. 4 Dellar for dollar 18 a good plan. What we want to see fs a dollar's worth of geod roads for a dollar spent of the farm, so much in evidence. When tt {s reflected that the Sver- age cost of hauling In the United States Is 25 cents per ton per mile as compared with only 2 cents per ton per mile in France and Germany and England, the urgent economic need of highway {mprovement and exten? ston in this country becomes painful- ly evidént. in road tax. And why not have It Isn't It about time to quit pouring money into a mudhole? Most roads could have been nicely paved with the dollars they have cost since first laid out. Where has that money gone? Don't cry “graft.” Ot course there has been too much politles—ah, poll- ties, there's the rub—but there has ‘been no political graft to speak of fn conection with country roads- The troubie is the’system is and has ‘been wrong. Road building Is for ‘the public good; just as mail carry- ing Is. The mail earrierssare under civil service, out of politics entirely- They are paid for knowing their bus- iness. They must give a dollar's worth jof service for a dollar in pay. Why jnot handle the road problem that way? Remove the road boss from [politics and make him pass an exam- ination *showing his efficiency. Keep im Just as long as he does his work well. Then you will sec good dirt roads wherever there fs nothing bet- ter. Enough money will soon be sav- ed in road tax to macadamize every mile of the main traveled country roads. 2 TREES ALONG THE HIGHWAYS Every Drive Through “the Country Gives Eviderice of Need of Prompt. and Effective Action. | “The civic committee of the Ala- bama Federation of Women's clubs {s. doing a good thing In starting a move- ment for the preservation of trees along our highways,” sald a prominent citizen of Alabama, according to the Birmingham Age Herald. “Mrs. Aly ston Fitts of Tuscalooca ts chairman of the clvig:committee, and she has ts- sued an address $n circutar form which should stir up interest in this work. After calling attention to the nation ‘wide movement for ‘shady ways’ and an appeal for a general rally for their pret ervation, he says: vEvery drive through the ccuntry giv 3 evidence of the need of prompt action, for the trees are at the mercy of ever changing rozd workecs and are ruthlessly cut down. Thesa shady highways are a great asset to our state. Increasing numbers of tcurists are motoring over them and are there- by awakening to our wenderfut re- sources. Our own people are finding on thesé highways the playground needed for recreation and relaxation. ‘The farmer finds comfort and pleasure for himself and his horses in the day's work, to and from market, fleld and home. “Let every woman's club In Ala- bama join in the crusade without de- lay. Talk about it in your'homes and in your clubs and have your schools champion these God-given forest trees, true friends, allke to rich and poor, young and old. Every school impreve- ment association In Alabama !s asked to call a meeting and frame and sign a petition and present it to their coun- ty commissioners asking their author- ity to prevent roadworkers from cut- ting down these trees. Let us all to- gether ar6use such Interest and Ipve tor these trees, that when a bill is wre- sented in the next legislature for their legal preservation it may be pasxed unanimously." Clean Up the Roadside. The fall of the year Js a good time to clean up the unsightly roadcide. The dry grass and weeds will bury, and when destroyed cease to beceme an eyesore all the - winter months. Any green bush can be cut and bura- ed with the dried weeds and grass with very little encouragement, and how ft will improve the roadside to have this done now. Planting Apple Trees. The best time to plant apple trees Is as soon as most of the leaves have fallon. The roots belng then in an active state, and the sround still re- taining 2 certain amount of heat. they will form-new roots before winter, which {s a materia! advantage.

As wescan the year 1i2 and reflect pen the epportummes for duing servive to our fellow men that have been presented to us, how many ot us ean feel conscrentiously that we have grasped such opportamties dint made the most of them? Has it been yours during the year 1912 to give food to the hungry or clothes tothe naked? Has it been yours to give acup of cold water to some parched lips? What have you done during the year 1912 to help to litt your brother fromthe slough of despondency, gloom or misfortune? As these few re- maining days of the fast fading year come upon uy, let cach of us svetoit that something is done thas wiil tend to alleviate suffering in sume quarter and bring in its stead sunshine and happiness. What twemory more pleasant of the year 1912 cun be had than the aecollection that a portion of its ase days was spent in service to others. . Let us strive to do some good act before the year 1912 passes behind us. The foliowing utterances im- puted to Cole W. Blease, the demagogic and ffre-brand governor of South Carolina who was in at- tentlince upon the Governors Con- ference recently held in Richmond, Virginia, shows to whatdepth this sensationalist will stoop fh order to gain noveriety and win the pland- its of the mob: “TI haye said sali over the State of South Carolina, and say it again now, that I will never order out the militia to sboot down thetr neighbors and protect a black brate who com- ulils luc snuneless?crime against a white woman” Therefore, in South: Caroling let it be under: stuod thar wren a Negro assaulis a white womw:, ull that is necded is thet they get the right man and they who set hia willueither need hier reerive a tial.” Thus spoke the Governor of the proud State of South Carolina. Without doubt, the law abiding citizens of the Stategbow their heads in shame at such utterances from their chief executive. Goy. Blease and his ilk should be reminded of the preachment so often uttered that “whatever 2 man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Protect the mob today if you will, against the so-called black brute and tomor- row, intoxicated with power, you will find it at your own doors. Hot-headed individuals filled to the limit with whiskey and feeling se- cure in theirimmunity against pun. ishment for certain breaches ot the law, are not likely to stop and seriously consider at all times the race of the would be victim ot their spleen. In the destructive work to which the Governor o! South Carolina is now engaged, we hope that his followers arc few. Remember, Governor Blease. «that the day of retribution is be fore you and that your reaping will bear a close and intimate re semblance to your sowing. The launching of the $100,00C oil mill by Negroes on November 25th last, at Mound Bayou, the hustiing little Negro town of Mis- sissippi, is indeed a great forward step by our people in the financial world. Too much praise cannot be given to I. T. Montgomery, the founder of this Negro town and Charles Banks, aptly styled its builder, for the great success which has come to them in the launching of such a large business enterprise in their wide-awake lit- tle city. And too, we should doff ovr caps to the great wizzard of of Tuskegee, who as a guiding star has helped to pvint the way and lend inspiration to tl.e hustling bustling citizens of Mound Bayou. Long live Mound,,Bayou and its enterprising citizens. Echoes From fhe Schoolhouse | The principal, teachers and parent: jof the Mapie street Public schuol are ; happily congratulating themselves upon 2 most successful “Parent's Day Meet ing” held dt the school Monday after- noon, November 1S.

Tne principal al- lowea the parents in this way tu get a little peep into the scencs of thy trouole that worry uud hurass the teacher and retard the chila § progress and make more and more dimeult the work ol the teacher, The principal said that the many nitfe stumpling blocks, draw- bachs, school ills or disease can only be cured’ by the parénts, teachets and child knowing each other and under- standing the yarious causes of trouble in the way of success. Combined, in- telligent, persistent and honest effort is the inevitable panacea. The other teachers spoke fluently, and yet succinetly, with telling effect upon this very sppreciauve audience. Yherr oratory and elucution ranged above the erainary, for women whodo not generally come before the public. ‘They spcke as tollows: 7th Grade, Mrs. M.

Mrs. ‘Tolbert, in herstately and motherly bearing spoke, as it were with anew gilt of speech, as only the true mother can, to the otner mothers, telling them of the necessity of providing acomfortable place for their girls and boys to prepare certain home studies and also the im- portance of regular attendance. Miss Houstoun, in her very marked intellec- tual and queenly bearing emphasized the importance of cleanliness and school pride; Her little sermon, preach- ed from the ‘text “Wash and be clean” was unique and powerful. She told them that they, as loyat patrons, ought to do everything in their power togeth- er with their children to make the Ma- ple Street School the best school in the system, and her 6th Grade the best 6th Grade.’ She said that school pride was the most natural sequence of loyalty and that their children should esteem the prineipal and teachers of the Maple Street School the best. Miss Annie E. Scott quoted some of the school laws and explained them to the satisfaction of the audience. Miss Emma A.

Eight cars, all filled with sleeping passengers, plunged down a 30-foot embankment into a train of coal cars on the freight line, which at this point runs parallel to the passenger tracks. One coach turned completely over in the descent. As three of the sleepers rolled down the embankment, one of them, Glen- “rock, was partly telescoped. All the dead and many of the most seriously injured were found in this car. ‘The crash of the cars as they rolled down the steep incline was followed by screams from the passengers pen- ned in the overturned cars. The day coach turned a complete somersault and came to rest with its wheels in the air. ; The passengers were thrown vio- lently against the top of the car. Many were unconscious from blows on the head. Others were seriously injured. Some of them crawled to safety through the windows. Passengers and trainmen who escaped injury rau from their coaches and joined in the work of rescue. Farmers in the vicinity scon were at tlie scene. They brought axes, hatchets dhd saws. By light of lant- ems and the headlights which were removed from the loconiotives, they labored furiously at the wreckage in thelr work of recene. Marshal John P. Dohoney, of Harrts- burg, who investigated the wreck on behalf of the State Railroad Commis- sion, said: “The wreck appears to have been caused by the sagging of a girder on the bridge, which depressed tho track. ‘This probably caused couplings to break and the cars to leave the tracks beyond the bridge.” HORRORS OF ADRIANOPLE.

Russlan Blouse Is One of the Leading Garments Just Now—Some of » the Hats Which Have At- talned Popularity, ee ee ee is rapidly coming to the front in the race for popular favor. This smart and attractive garment is slightly pouched just above the waist Une and Is confined by a handsome celnture of embroidered glove kid or thick silk. The basque is of moderate length, just covering the hips, and } the sleeves are almost always long | and banded In at the wrist. On a tall, slender woman the Russian blouse ‘coat Is admirable, but its outline never fails to add width to the shoulders and | bust; for this reason {t has to be dealt with carefully. With a coat of this order the skirt is short, rather plain and moderately tight; a favorite style of trimming is a handsome row ot large buttons running up the left side of the skirt, just at the seam, sImilar buttons appearing on the front of the coat and also on the bands of the sleeves. More than ever it is the fashion to trim simple tallored suits with rows of handsome buttons, and these latter are now made in brilliant colors and in all sorts of unexpected materials. With the more exclusive tailors enamel buttons set In rims of cut jet are all the rage, and invariably the enamel is made to contrast with the’ dress ma- terlal. The dainty little accessories of the feminine tollet are, this season, commanding a great deal of attention; buttons are considered of the first im- portance and many women of fashion mak a point of having thelr umbrella handles, or sack fittings, made to match certain sets of buttons. ‘Tie result {a excellent in conjunc tion with dlagonal serges and heather mixture tweeds, Ename] buttons, etc., set in silver or jet, give particularly. refined effects, and this is specially the case when the walking skirts are slightly cut yp at one side, after the manner described in detail last week. Speaking generally, {t may be said that narrow bends of fur and rows of handsome buttons form the two most popular styles‘ of trimming of the present season, but then these bands of fur are kept, almost exclusively, for afternoon dresses or for morning sults of a specially elaborate order. Ideal Morning Sult. An {deal morning suit for early win- ter wear was mado of heather mixture tweed which showed artistic tints of nut-brown, dull red and dark blue, The materfal was covered with tiny hairs and had a thoroughly comfortable ap- pearance. The skirt, was short and moderately tight; it was slightly cut up at the left’seam, close to the front, and on this seam there were eight large buttons of dark red enamel set in tiny rims of jet. The coat was very simple in outline and was half length, being slightly double-breasted and fastened with three large buttons simflar to those on the skirt. There were side revers turned over with dull red peau de sole and a small collar and revers a Marceau collar, with plaited frills, was arranged, and the delicate muslin of this collar gave a particularly fresh and attractive ap- pearance to the simple costume. The coat opened over -a chemisette of tucked muslin and the accompanying hat was in dull blue silk beaver; this hat was quite small and the beaver was so flexible that it seemed to mold the head and hair; the only trimming was a single sable skin which was Ughtly wound round the low crown. Notwithstanding the fact that the turkish towel materials have been done to death this year, we find them still very much used by our lending tailors; but the “tissue d’eponge” of today {s a more elaborate material than that of yesterday. It is now made in heather mixtures and in’ a very much more firm texture. I have seen this cloth in lovely-shades of nut- brown, dull red shot with blue, violet with flicks of white, etc. One of the newest and most fascinating exam- ples of turkish towel cloth recalled to my mind the varfed plumage of a handsome pheasant. One of our leading tailrs is mak- ing a specialty of camel's hair cloth this winter, This deliciously soft and comfortable material is at its best in bright shades of navy blue, with rows of buttons in royal blue. White camel's hair cloth ia also very attrac- tive, but in the best qualities of this material a great many tiny black jiairs are always to be found and these suggest, to the ordinary eye, aslight appearance of soil. | Plalted Skirt. | With regard to the newest walking skirts, it Is safe to say that 90 per ‘cent. of them are plaited; either set | in flat plaits all round, with a plain, tight, emplecement molding the hips, | ae eatin: tialincot either cite sha this winter. It has almost always been the case that black and*white check. ed materials have been in favor with the more exclusive leaders of Paris- jan society; these dainty women seem to have a special gift for wearing this style of walking dress with per- fect success, but it must be admitted that danger lurks in the black and white check. Unless worn by the right woman, and in just the right way, it is apt to look, what thé Eng- Ush call, “loud.” But when seen at its best a walking suit of fine black /and white checked cloth is eminently attractive; it is smart, without being | unduly startling, and it blends most perfectly with handsome furs. Black tox cet 4m particular, look at their best when thrown on over a sult of black and white checked cloth, and the same: may be sald of sable and of astrakhan. Chez Paquin I recently saw two ideal sults in this smart material. One of these showed flat plaits at the sides of the round skirt, and these plalts were caught down by stitched straps and small cut jet buttons. The coat was half length and tight fitting, with small revers of white glove kid and 2 ‘collar of duli black satin; the fronts were single-breasted and fastened by ‘three large jet buttons. This was an exceedingly elegant and attractive sult sand one which might be worn in the afternoon as well as In the evening. The second sult was something sim- flar in outline, but there were nar- row pipings of pale yellow suede out- ining the seams of ‘the coat and skirt. These pipings were so small, and 80 daintily arranged that they seemed like threads in the material itself. The revers of this coat were in black peau de sole and there was a loose col- lar of embroidered muslin in which pale yellow threads mado themselves felt, Costume for the Afternoon, I saw recently a lovely costume for afternoon wear. The materials are velvet and faced cloth in a rich shade of cherry red, and the Nnes of the dregs are long and eminently pictur- esque. The whole of the outer dress, which is cut after the manner of a Zedingote, is of cloth, while the un- der-dress is In velvet. This dress opens ‘at one side and the corsage 1s slight- “Ay pouched in front, over the narrow waistband. The picturesque collar Ws ea a | A, ‘ees. LO ; RK 3 ‘ f ' \ | } is entirely composed of velvet, and this collar forms a large Capuchin hood at the back. The sleeves are —long and tight, and I must draw at tention to the fact that these sleeves are made with a kimono shoulder; that {s to say, without a shoulder seam This is the most popular sleeve of the present season, and when correct ly arranged it is sufficiently attract- ive; but the long kimono sleeve needs to be most carefully cut and fitted. A very quaint little hat is the latest idea of one of our leading milliners, It closely resembles a large bowl, and it fits down on the head after the manner of a soldier's helmet. The small hat, of strange and original de- sign, has entered on a period of unt- versal favor. This does not mean that large picture hats are not still very fashionable, only that for ordinary wear the small hat is to be received with open arms. And some of the latest editions of the smart, small hat are quaint as they are attractive. Tho illustration shows one com- posed of sealskin edged with ermine; the brim fs wide at the back and very narrow, in the front, recalling the curious hats worn by Louls XI. An- other hat ts more ordinary in outline, but s nevertheless original in style; it is composed of white velvet, and for trimming it has a large and important looking heron plume in fet black. This latter shape is a favorite one with the Parisiennes, and we find it made in soft felts, {n velvet and tn short-haired furs. Tam o’ Shanter shapes in sealskin or velvet are immensely popular, and the same may be said of soft turbans which elmost completely cover the hair. The small hat in pure white felt threatens to become a sort of uni- form in Paris this winter, and this hat {s frequently trimmed with a large black aigrette or with a cluster of black and white wings. . Austrian Linens. Among new things for the table are the beautiful Austrian linens, ivory- white in color and delightfully soft in texture. The patterns are small and dainty, mostly in polka-dots and dia- monds, satin-finished and well scat- tered over the surface. Scarfs, fin- ished with hemstitched hems, cost one dollar; a lunch cloth, $1.65, and nap- ykins to match, $4.50 a dozen. A large tablecloth costs five dollars. In damask tablo linens, those with centerplece tmprints to match the borders are very attractive, says the Ladies’ Home Jour- nal, both in round and square shapes, costing $3.25 each and upward, with napkins to match at four dollara a dozen. x iN WIFE’S CUSTODY: CHICAGO MAN ORDERED TO Quir, WORK OR GO TO JAIL. . Judge Sentences Joseph Girsch to Remaln Idle at Home With His Wife, Who. Says Pay Days Bring Trouble to Her. _ ‘Chicago.—Joseph Girsch, who lives at 4520 South Paulina street, was sen- tenced the other day to an indefinite period of idleness by Judge Newcom- er. The terms of Judge Newcomer's decree were that Joseph was to be returned forthwith to his residence in the custody of his wife to eat three square -meals a day and sleep ten hours at night and to refrain until further notice from all ‘bodily labor— particularly from the labor of his trade as a molder—tnder penalty of being sent to the bridewell, where he would have nothing to do but make big ones Into little ones all day long. This remarkable decree was uttered after the court had listened to a story told by Girsch’s wife. Mrs. Girsch had had her husband arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. Her husband, she sald, had beaten her and driven her out into the street. “I am a law-abiding woman,” Mrs. Girsch told the court, “and I can't stand.Joe’s conduct any longer. You'll Just have to put him under bonds to refrain from working.” “What's that?” inquired the court, sitting up and taking notice. “I said,” repeated Mra. Girsch pa- tiently, “that You'll have to put Joe under bond to refrain from work.” “You mean that he's overworking himself?” s “No, your honor, I mean that he mustn't work at all, Work doesn’t agree with Joe. He's got to be made to stop it if there’s to be any peace in our house.” Mrs. Girsch was weeping by this time, “He's a molder, your honor,” she went on, between sobs. “He's just crazy about molding. When he zeta a Job he just works himself to death, and when he’s paid off he gets drunk and comes home and beats me. This ig the third time he has attacked me.” : * “Now, let me get this right.” Inter- poged the court. “You say you want me to issue an order forbidding your husband to work.” “That's right, your honor. You see, I've got plenty of money of my own to support both him and myself. I own several buildings, and the rents pay all our expenses. I love my Joe, but I can't stand him when he beats me. If you'll just send him home with orders to stay away from work, you'll be Instrumental in keeping us out of the divorce court.” Judge Newcomer cogitated for time. “All right,” he said; “it’s-a little un- usual, but let the order be Issued. Joe, you go home with your wife, and if I hear that you're working again I'll make it unpleasant for you.” “Nice easy job you got now, eh?” asked a neighbor who called at the Girsch home in the afternoon. “Yep; my wife's husband,” Girsch replied, shifting his corncob pipe from. one corner of his mouth to the other. “Say, Joe, let ma sweep under your chair, please,” said Mrs. Girsch, ap proaching with a broom. “What a bother,” said Girsch with a wink as he, lifted his two feet in the alr so Mrs, Girsch could swetp under them. “I used to work in a brass foundry twelve hours a day——” he started to say. “Oh, can that stuff,” said the neigh- bor. “You've got the easlest job in the world.” 4 “Say, you're right; that's one title I hold anyway,” Girsch replied. Just then his pipe went out. A worried frown crosed his brow, but before he could ask for it Mrs. Girsch brought him a match and lighted it again. CONFESSES 205 BURGLARIES Burglar Is Proud of Record—Says He Was Always Pollte to Policemen. Paris—A burglar who had plied his craft in Paris for eight years with- out being caught by the police and who had a record of 205 succesful burglaries, has at last been brought to book. His astonishing record only, came to light through his own con- fession, prompted by his ‘preference for deportation as against imprison- ment in France. . | His claim to having committed 205 burglaries was received by the, judge with incredyllty, and he was much hurt to have his title to the burgling championship disputed. “I have com- mitted 205 burglaries. I swear that I have,” he said to the judge in an- swer to the first questions put to him. Tho judge asked him: “Were you not afrafd of the police?" “I was,” he replied, ‘but I was always very polite to.the policemen, and I always looked so decent that they would not have thought of suspecting me.” The police inspectors visited with their prisoner twenty-two houses and flats, and his allegations were found to be true. He had broken into all of them. He is therefore entitled to be called ‘the champion burglar of the world, and to be gratified with a sentence to deportation for Ife.
