VOLUME XXVIII 100 Million Baby Has Negro Chum JOHN WINBUSH, Jr., OF WASHINGTON, ADOPTED McLean-Don't Want Son to be A Snob-Little Negro Companion Trented as Equal-Wants Son to be One of People. Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 9—Edward B Mclean and his wife, the former Evelyn Walsh, daughter of the late Thomas R Walsh, who have a three year-old son, Vinson, commonly known as the "$100,000,000 baby," because it is said he will inherit that sum, have taken a little Negro boy as their fosterer. He is John Winbush, Jr., five-year-old son of John Winbush of P street near Massachusetts avenue, Washington P. T. Spencer, Mr. McClean's attorney brought the little Negro boy to Palm Beach to-day, after having prepared papers, which the child's parents signed for a consideration, relinquishing their rights over the boy forever. By the contract, Mr. and Mrs. McLean do not actually adopt the child. He is not to bear their name or to inherit from them except as specified in the contract. He is, however, to be treated as an equal of young Vinson McLean and furnished with every luxury until he is fifteen years old, when he is to become Vinson's violet. Mr. McLean made this statement concerning the transaction: "I do not want my boy to grow up living the life common to children of wealthy people. I am getting this boy for my son's playmate because he is a healthy, normal, simple-minded child. The companionship of this child will keep my son mindful of the fact that he is one of the people I don't want a son of mine a snob. The trend of wealth is in that direction." "Moreover, my son has been in the company of men, his detectives and nurses, so much that he is becoming precocious. It is the best thing for him to have a healthy little boy of his own age to play with. I was brought up in the same way, first with a Negro mammy, then with a Negro boy who was my playmate and later my valet." "DRAWING ROOM" TO HIMSELF Jack Winbush Jr., began leading his new life when he left Washington where he had been supplied with a fine wardrobe. He had a drawing-room to himself on the Florida special on the Seaboard. He eats at the table with young McLean in the family's private dining-room. He is the only Negro allowed on the bathing beach. Dressed alike in white sailor suits and both bare-legged, Vinson and Jack played in the sand all morning in front of the Casino. The children made their appearance hand in hand and seemed to be great chums as they played with shovels and pails. To-night Mr McLean engaged one of the Negro bellboys at the hotel to act as a personal servant for this child. Deaths. Mr. J. E. Warren of 2407 Harden street, after an illness of about three months died on last Wednesday. The remains were shipped to Waynesboro, Ga., yesterday for burial. Rev B. Molete 715 West 31th, street. died early Wednesday morning at his residence. Though Rev Molete had been in ill health for some time, his death was somewhat of a surprise. Rev Molete was pastor of Shilloh Baptist Church, Brownsville, this city, and St. Peters Baptist Church, Waycross. He was forty two years old and highly respected by all who knew him. He had been living in this city for about six years. He is survived by a wife and sister. The remains were taken to Brunswick, Friday for interment. F. B. B. Church. On Sunday night the church was crowded. The ushers had quite a task to find seats. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Psalm 42. His text was from St. James 6:4. His subject was "He gives more grace."

SHAW POST No.8, GRAND ARMY, PARADED Several of Churches Held Interesting Exercises—Parade of Grand Army Very Impressive. The celebration of birthday of Abraham Lincoln was observed throughout this city on last Wednesday and also on the previous Sunday night. The Lincoln exercises of last Sunday night at the Congregational church were very interesting and were attended by a packed house. The address of Prof. S. A. Grant was one of the most inspiring which has been listened to for some time, and the music by the Sunday-school and Beach Institute, and the other numbers on the program were all very enjoyable. On Wednesday Robert G.S aw Post No. 8, Grand Army of Republic, the Sons of Veterans, and the Women Relief Corps in carriages paraded and were very enthusiastically received as they marched through the various streets. The following is a portion of one of the Lincoln memorial addresses, which was delivered at one of the churches: "Wednesday, February twelfth, this week marks the one hundred and fourth anniversary of the birth of one of the most stalwart figures in American history—Abraham Lincoln. At that time, the eyes of the entire world will turn to the little village in Hardin County, Kentucky, where, on that bleak and barren February morn in the year 1809, the boy Lincoln was born. Little indeed did the world think that when the boy Lincoln was born in a humble log cabin in a small village of one of Kentucky's hills, that there came upon the American soil a youth who was destined to make American history and who would exemplify in the highest degree the conditions of American life which enable one to rise from the humblest circumstances to the most exalted position. Yet such has been the case. Born of poor parentage, reared at the breast of want, illiterate and uneducated, he stepped out into the broad arena of life and fought his battles for justice and freedom to all mankind alike. That he fought his battles well is attested by the crowning achievement of his career, the liberation of four million enslaved souls and thus the preservation of the Union. How few men could have thought and acted as Lincoln did, were they called at the helm of government as was Lincoln during the most critical period in the history of our country! Yet critical as was the situation which confronted him, he proved to be the master of every phase of it. And why? It was because early in his life he had learned to identify himself always with that which was right. As an humble follower of the great Jehovah, he was made to see clearly the right from the wrong. Thus he chose the right each time as he saw it. During his public life, he was more abused perhaps and misunderstood than any other public man, yet as the years roll by and sober judgment is indulged in, he is loved more and more. Abraham Lincoln has lived. He has served his country well. At this season, when the anniversary of his birth brings to our memory a vision of his greatness, we should feel happy despite the rantings of the Bleses. Hoke Smiths and others of their ilk that we are the heirs of a civilization in the making of which he played so prominent a part. Let us at this one hundred and fourth anniversary of the birth of the great emancipator rededicate ourselves to lives that will merit in some degree the great service rendered our people by the great character, Lincoln; let us help make it possible for the most humble among us to rise from his lowly position; let us hold out the reef of hope to the most skeptical, broken hearted, hopeless and despairing among us. In so doing we shall help to lift the veil of present day proscription and ostracism that so nearly surrounds us, and in due time we shall be able to reach the full stature of American manhood in all that pertains to her social, political and financial make-up."

Meaks wish to thank their many friends for their kindness to them during the illness and death of their daughter. Resolved, That we recommend, advise and beg all Negro organizations that plan or have planned to give water outings or excursions, to refrain from so doing and instead give their patronage to near by parks, unless the boat company gives a reasonable rate with proper accommodations. Resolved lastly, that the Ways and Means Committee be and is hereby authorized to present a copy of the foregoing to each and every one of the Negro organizations of the city and that they especially request the ministers of the various churches, (Colored) to impart, 'ach notice to their congregations if time to time. NUMBER 22 A Plea Against Boat Excursions DOVE CLUB ABANDONS AN- NUAL WATER OUTING Asks Other Negro Organiza- tions to do Likewise-Cost of Boats Raised-Nothing to be Realized at Present Price. The first Negro organization in the city this year to make public its determination to abandon its annual water outing the coming season is the Dove Aid and Social Club, which, in a very pointed article entitled "A Plea Against Boat Excursions," takes the stand that the increased cost for boat hire this year not only makes it impossible for the organizations giving boat excursions to realize anything therefrom financially, but that in raising the price for chartering their boats to Negroes the company is placing them at price which all Negro organizations of the city should consider prohibitive. The cost of chartering boats this year is; to Daufuskie afternoon or all day, steamer Pilot Boy $100.00; steamer Clivedon $90.00; to Beaufort, steamer Pilot Boy $150.00, steamer Clivedon $125.00. The present rate for boat hire to Daufuskie is $25 more than the price last year. It is alleged that there will be but one company instead of two as was the case for the last three years, which will operate boats for excursions this year, the steamer Planter not being placed in commission. The following is the article together with resolutions, which the Dove Aid and Social Club has made public and asks other Negro organizations to consider: "The season is now approaching when the various churches, clubs and civic bodies of the city are beginning to negotiate for the giving of excursions, picnics, and other kinds of amusements for the enjoyment of our people and for a financial benefit to the respective bodies giving same. Fully realizing the position of the many organizations during the past year, who invested in these excursions, that, but little, if anything, in the way of cash, had been realized, after the cost of boat hire and other incidental expenses had been paid, thus resulting in a loss to them, we now beg to call your attention to the fact that there is scarcely a day during the summer (with exception of Saturday and possibly Sunday) but what an excursion of our people is being given to different resorts down the Savannah river. This may be due largely to the vast number of institutions existing in our city and to the fact that each one desires to take their chances by investing in this or other kinds of pleasures. "We, however, desire to bring forth a matter, which, we trust, will have a deep bearing upon the mind of every good thinking Negro of the city and that is that a halt along the line of these excursions should be made. In support of this stand we present the following reasons: "First, the charges for boat hire for excursions down the Savannah river this season is entirely too high, more so this year than seasons past; this is due doubtless to there being only two (2) boats which the colored people of the city can charter, and as the two boats referred to belong to the same company, the result is there will be no competition by which a reduction of cost to secure them may be brought about. Furthermore, to submit to any such charges as those now asked would mean that the price of tickets on these excursions would have to be increased in order to enable the parties chartering these boats to meet the cost of expenses. This, of course, would mean that your time and labor would be in vain; but all to the advantage of the boat people. "Secondly, the accommodation for our women, from our experience and doubtless yourselves in past seasons on these excursion boats, has been anything but satisfactory; the essential conveniences being lacking. "Lastly, this source of realizing a revenue for churches, organizations or civic bodies has in the past, in most cases, resulted adversely, and their efforts to better their financial standing have proved futile. "We, therefore, respectfully ask that you (as a people) give this matter, which we now direct your attention to, your most careful consideration and to you solely may we look for better results. We are, yours respectfully, The Dove Aid and Social Club, A. P. Williams, President The following resolutions have been unanimously adopted by us in meeting assembled: Whereas, There is only one company operating boats for hire for pleasure outings, and Whereas, It appears that they are taking advantage of that fact by charging an unreasonable fee for their boats with the apparent idea that the Negroes will pay them any price, and namely submit to any actions they may take in this respect. Be it Resolved, That we, the Dove Ald and Social Club, in convention assembled, do hereby protest against such unreasonable rate as charged. Be it further. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The question is often asked as to the extent the former students and graduates of the Institute engage in actual farming operations. It should be believed that and teacher of the institution itself keep constantly in mind the fact that the south is largely an agricultural country and that at least eighty per cent of the colored people depend upon farming for their livelihood and furthermore, the negro race is as whole as is better off when in cultivating the soil than in any other occupation. For these reasons no native are prepared to improve each of the training given in farming and related occupations so as to keep the教导 plane so, the soil and lead them to live farm life, to the extent that the proportion of them will take up work immediately in the country. As an immediate result of this teaching the school has been able to produce the best crop but its farm during the past year in the history of the institution. This within itself has done much to open the interest of the sixteen thousand students in farming. As a further illustration of the result of this teaching, in Macon county alone in Alabama, in which the Tuskegee Institute is located, there are three graduates, of the school, to say nothing of hundreds of others engaged in farming, who have more than a hundred farms or that number of colored partners under their supervision. This one case, out of many that might be referred to throughout Alabama and the south, must too, it is safe to state that, least half of the who are classes as school teachers, engage, to some extent, in farming while engaged, in teaching their pupils. Third of the graduates and former students of the institute are teaching agriculture in various schools. Some of these schools are located and showd. Ala.; Prentiss, Miss.; Talmansee, Fla.; Lawrenceville, Va.; Denmark, S. C., and at the University of Porto Rico, Porto Rico. Eight of the graduates are working for the United States department of agriculture as agricultural demonstration agents in the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Virginia. The government experts induce colored farmers to get aside small portions of their land and plant and cultivate it under their direction. These small plots serve as object lessons for the communities. Thus, where farmers raised from five to fifteen bushels of corn per hectare, they are now, because of this teaching, raising from thirty to sixty bushels per acre. Where from 150 to 200 pounds of cotton were produced new cereal, new from 250 to 600 bushels per acre. On what is called very poor soil, Thekegee students raised on the institute farm last year 500 bushels of sweet potatoes per acre. These demonstration agents do not confine themselves to teaching improved farming methods, but they also assist the colored farmers in getting better, live, stock in having better gardens, and in improving their homes. In a community where one of these agents is at work, a visit was made recently to forty gardens of farmers to a competent committee. The committee found in these gardens peas, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, mustard, pepper, lettuce and carrots. Besides, the gardens were in good condition. This resulted from the teaching of one graduate of Thekegee institute. Prof. G. Graham, of the Tuskegee institute agricultural department, for most of his race in scientific agriculture in the south; if not in the United States, was born a slave in Missouri and the Carry institution. Of his parent he knew little. During his youth he worked odd jobs to earn a living. At last he found an opportunity to take charge of the greenhouses of the borthudhur department of the Iowa agricultural college at Ames. He remained there until he was graduated when he was made assistant botanist. He took advantage of his opportunity there to continue his studies, and finally took a diploma as a post-graduate student, the first diploma of that sort that had been given at Ames: Hon. Woolf. Lewis, assistant attorney general of the United States, sailed from New York for Parla, France, a few days ago, where Mrs. Lewis and children have been living for the past year, so, in order that their children could attend the different schools of the old country without any friction. 22 10 10 10 Leading colored physicians and citizens are health improvement to build a $50,000 hospital for the colored people of New York city. The McDonough Hospital association, which is named after the pioneer colored physician in the city is the agency through which those interested hope to accomplish the mission of the institution. Among the business plants of Nashville, Tampa are listed two banks, three undertaking establishments, two photographic and two capitals and two publishing houses. Notwithstanding the fact that we can boast of our past progress, there is yet something to be considered which has been refrained from somewhat. We are failing to yoke ourselves together for the success of our journals; insurance organizations and other business enterprises. We have now seen that these things are not frauds. Every chartered insurance company pays its claims, and all newspapers that have existed for any length of time give us what we pay for, and loyalty champion all the causes vitally important to our people. Such businesses are among the most important concerns in operation by other races; and since we are inclined to keep pace with them in all things, we should do likewise in these things. Many of our men utilize their talents to help supply the race with much needed literature and meet with some success, while many sacrifice in order to render like service, and fall in a business way. There is no other race to support negro journals and insurance organizations, consequently our people should be generous in the support of all our worthy enterprises. If we supported our own journals as well as we support those published by whites surely ours would rank high among the leading journals of the country. We need to be reminded of this fact, that if we continue supporting our other enterprises, and give our newspapers and insurance companies due support, we will soon have constructed a sure commercial foundation upon which to perpetuate colossal future enterprises-Southern Life Magazine. Malaysian riddles, Dutch rebuses and Liberian head measurements comprise a small but interesting part of the material brought to the University of Chicago by Prof. Frederick Starr of the anthropology department on his return from a trip abroad. With Harry Johnson, a Chicago negro, and Campbel Marvin, a graduate student of the University of Chicago, Professor Starr made a walking trip of 150 miles into the interior of Africa, after visiting the Liberian city of Monrovia. Among the places visited during the trip were Tenerife, Casa Blanca, Nazaban, Zaffl, Mogador and the Mpesse territory. "The primary purpose of my trip was to investigate the social, economic and political conditions of Liberia," said Professor Starr. "I found the country one of the most interesting from these points of view, and shall have something definite to say about them all in my future lectures. Liberia is a fine field for American enterprise. We took 14,000 feet of moving picture films, and as an example of our industry, I measured the heads of 200 native soldiers of the Liberian frontier force. While abroad I received the sad news of the death of Manuel Gonzales, my Mexican boy, who has accompanied me on many of my trips in different parts of the world. We were in Morocco at a decidedly lively time. The old empire was just in its death throes, and there was plenty of opportunity for observation." In haste to be rich, virtue and charity are often put aside; and thus swift posterity often leads to violence, cheating and extortion. The man was not a dreamer who said: "The love of money is the root of all evil." Money is to be desired above many things, but we should not do questionable things to obtain it. Giles W. White, a Democratic negro of Montgomery county, Maryland, who is actively pushing his cause, hoping to secure the appointment of minister to Liberla, is a school teacher. He studied law at the Howard University Law school, Washington, but did not seek admission to the bar. He has been active worker in the party ranks for 16 years. Regiments serving in the United States and having the lowest percentage of desertion last year were the Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fifth infantry, both colored organizations, which showed desertions of 1.52 and 1.60 per cent. The Tenth cavalry has been one of the two regiments showing the lowest desertion for the past three years. The editors of white papers are prompt in commenting on the bad things the negroes do. We think it is fair and just to discuss with an equal degree of pride the good things done by them, especially when they vote in such a manner as to promote law and order. Such was their conduct in the last campaign. A colored population of about 25,000 in Seattle, Wash., owns and supports five churches, and has two physicians, two lawyers, one newspaper, four apartment houses and six fraternal organizations. Fire destroyed almost completely the chapel of Walden university in Nashville. There was no attendant loss of life. It's the easiest thing in the world for the average person to make a bad break. SMART LITTLE COATS SMART LITTLE COATS Children's Styles Receive Much Attention From Modistes. Outdoor Clothes for Little Ones of All Ages Are as Attractive and Appealing as Frocks They Wear Indoors. NEW YORK.-The fascinating coats and bewitching hats designed for the little ones awaken in almost every observer a desire to dress a child in them. For morning, when the wee one takes her ride in the perambulator, there is a simple little coat of white washable corduroy, with a cape outlined with scalloping. The bonnet to match is fashioned on the same severely plain lines. Even the carriage robe is of corduroy, finished with scalloping. This all-white outfit is so appealing that the fastidious mamma invariably prefers it to one of buff or gray. For the Little Ones. A coat of heavy white corded silk is appropriate for the afternoon, when the small girl accompanies her mother in the limousine. Some mothers insist on having this "dress-up" coat cut on the same simple lines as the morning one and quite as devoid of trimming. Others cannot resist the handsome hand embroidery, which not only decorates the cape, but also the bottom of the coat. An effective rose design, interwoven with garlands and bowknots of ribbon, adds immensely to the beauty of a white bengaline coat. On another coat of the same material a narrow band of ermine outlines the cape and edges the fronts of the garment. There is an enchanting little bonnet of silk, very much shirred, with tiny pink rosebuds peeping coquettishly out from between the soft folds of the silk at the sides, to go with it. To accompany a coat trimmed withermine there is a little bonnet of the fallie silk, with reyers of theermine. Ermine-coney could be substituted if the price were an object. Large, soft, squashy rosettes, in the center of which there are tiny blue forget-menots, trim the hat at the sides. Coats for Play. When the youngster is old enough to trust to the support of his chubby legs and toddle away from her nurse in search of such alluring pleasures as 6 mud ples, the wise mother bows to the inevitable and changes the easily solled white coat for one of the darker color. The box plaited coats compete with the reefers for first choice, with the Russian blouse following closely. For the simplest of these dark coats the rough cloths are considered the smartest, just as they are for the mother or for the big sister. One of the most attractive of these garments is made of a mustard colored ratine. It is a double breasted garment, fastening with large horn buttons, and it has collar and cuffs of plush in the tan shade. Distinction is given to the coat by a suede leather belt, matching tht collar and cuffs. A sharp contrast is lent by the hat of black beaver, jauntly turned up on the left side but utterly devoid of trimming. A similar idea is carried out in brown ratine and in the dark navy blue, but in neither is it quite as smart as in the mustard tones. In Corduroy and Plush. The coats of corduroy and plush are also popular. One particularly good looking coat is fashioned from a rich tone of sapphire blue corduroy. The garment is made with two box plats on either side of the double breasted front panel, and is finished with a suede leather belt of the same color. The hat, in a matching tone of blue felt, suggests the poke bonnet. A band of ribbon, still in the same color, crosses it in the front and loses itself at either side in large rosettes, from which depend tiny blue grapes. A pretty coat of silver gray plush is given a novel trimming by the folded girdle of matching silk, which is held in place by overlapping straps of the material. The collar is of the same silk, finished with a shirred puffing, which likewise edges the silk cuffs. These puffings of silk offer a change from the usual method of trimming children's coats and yet are so simple that the most critical of mothers cannot object to them. Black for Children. Despite the fact that many mothers feel that black is too old for their children, it is very becoming to many tots. A child with golden curls looks wells in a cont of black plush built in the Russian blouse style. The side fastening is marked with a strip of ermine and the small collar and the cuffs are of the ermine. The hat worn with this costume is of black velvet, with a soft crown and plaited frills of silk to serve as a brim. A strip of the ermine encircles the crown and is caught at intervals with clusters of pink rosebuds nestling among the green leaves. Fur Trimmings. There is almost sure to be a touch of fur on the cloth coats. A jaunty little jacket on the reefer order is made of a very light buff broadcloth, with shawl revers and deep cuffs of beaver fur. The hat has a soft Tam o' Shanter crown of cloth, which falls partly over the brim of the beaver. A quill in the soft brown colorings lends a jaunty effect. On a coat of tapestry blue broadcloth a box plaited effect is given to the skirt below the belt of tan leather. A strip of beaver fur is used to edge the collar and finish the sleeves. The hat in this instance is a beaver, in the tan color of the belt, trimmed with a large rosette of blue silk. Wool Velours The wool finished velours are eagerly sought by the young girls who wish a material a little out of the ordinary. A coat of homespun similar, to the one in the drawing could be worn by Miss Five-Year-Old and her sister of twelve. The side pieces extending from the front to the broad back panel distinguish the coat from the usual types found in the shops. The new tendency of the hats to turn up in the back may be noted in the hat worn with this coat. The lines of this hat are so good that it would have been a pity to spoil them with trimmings; the ribbon flower adds sufficient decoration. Our model shows a smart little coat of elephant gray velveteen; it is a loose, straight shape and has a large collar of striped foulard, edged with plain of the same color; the cuffs match this; buttons form trimming, the fastening being invisible. Hat of velvet, trimmed with a large ribbon bow. Materials required: $3\frac{1}{4}$ yards velveteen 24 inches wide, 7 buttons, $ \frac{3}{8} $ yard foulard 40 inches wide, 2 yards sateen 40 inches wide for lining. Broken Crochet Irish crochet has been popular so long that the backgrounds of much of it have had time to become worn and broken, although the decoration itself may still be as good as new. In such cases the ornament can be used to adorn a soft pillow, a bureau cover, table dolies or a centerpiece, says the Youth's Companion. Cut away the ground for the decoration and baste the design securely in place on the piece to which you are to apply it. Sew carefully round the edge of the design until it is securely attached to the new background, then cut away that part of the background that is included within the outlines of the ornament. Success, in the artistic sense, will depend upon how you use the old designs in their new application. Circular pieces should be utilized for centers, straight-line pieces for borders. Finish the straight-line pieces by hemstitching the lines, and the round pieces by hemming and sewing lace on the edges. New Tea Table The latest thing in tea tables is one that can be used as a table or a tray. It has folding automatic legs and is in the shape of a tray 27x17 Inches and 24 inches high when the legs are opened. Some of these combination table trays are of plain mahogany, with brass handles, others are inlaid; still others are of satinwood, plain or inlaid, with plated or sterling silver rims. The table can be utilized for cards by means of a board covered with green cloth that fits into the tray. Louis XVI Bedsteads Straight from Paris comes the account of the latest thing in bed decorations. So perishable is it that it might be considered as a bed de luxe—to be admired, but not slept in. This decoration, which is adapted to Louis Quinze furniture, has canopy and curtains of white chiffon trimmed with ribbon flowerets in pastel tones and edged with a fringe of crystal tubular beads. The bedspread is also of chiffon, embroidered in delicate ribbon flowers edged with deep flouces of lace, and used over a lining of pink or blue satin. Hints on Picture Hanging. Hang the pictures from the ceiling or picture rail by, means of a thin cord as nearly as possible the color of the walls. When this is done you may, if you like, fill up the spaces left above the smaller pictures by placing therein a miniature, or an old blue plate, or a little plaster relief. This arrangement gives all the space, above or below, upon which to rest your eyes, and is infinitely preferable to the usual way of hanging pictures one over the other or all up and down the walls. Oriental Shawl to Be Revived. The Oriental cashmere shawls which were worn at every occasion in the '40s and '50s of the last century may be revived. THE TURNING POINT THE TURNING POINT BY FLORA DELL Frank Murray kicked an unoffending stool that happened to be at his feet halfway across the cheerless room. What was the use in living alone like this, anyhow? Christmas had passed by in a reasonably pleasant manner. Some one always remembered a lonely fellow at Christmastime, but here was another holiday, with its sparkling sunshine, its leisure hours, and its host of reminders on every side of the joy and happiness of others—and he—well, he was a miserable outsider. He never knew what took him, just then in a desultory manner to the window, nor what it was about—the little, veiled, black-robed figure hurrying down the street, that changed the whole tenor of his thoughts. But suddenly there rushed into his mind the memory of Aunt Jane—she was not a real aunt—he was peculiarly alone in the world, but she had loved his mother very dearly. Perhaps he could find her—she had always cared for him as a boy. Hastily he consulted a little table. He could reach Moyerville by 10 o'clock, and the next day was Sunday. As Frank Murray passed up the quiet street, strangely, queerly familiar, a feeling of nervous, half pleasurable anticipation came over him. Would Aunt Jane remember him? He hoped she would not mention 'Annetta's name—would let it slip forgotten into the past where it belonged. He wondered whether she knew that the news of the girl's unfortunate alliance had sent him recklessly into the life that fascinated for a while, but never satisfied. He turned in at the small gate—his knock on the door brought a spry little woman in quick response. "Why, Frank, is it really thee?" "Do you remember me, Aunt Jane?" "Remember thee! Why, my boy, I have tried continuously to get some news of thee. Does thee not realize what thy mother was to me? I love thee for her sake and for thine, too." Suddenly all the lonely, homesick feeling of the morning, the doubt of ever being cared for vanished. He sank down on the little haircloth sofa. Somehow everything looked like home. "Thehe has come to spend the holiday and tomorrow with me, Frank?" "If you will have me, Aunt Jane." "Have thee! As though I had not been waiting and wishing for thee for so long—and thee cannot guess who is her with me?" What made his heart leap suddenly? Was it something in her tone that sent a sudden thrill of expectancy through him? There was a sudden rustle of the curtain in the doorway and all in a flash a slim, womanly figure was before him, her hand was in his and she was welcoming him with the old-time merry laugh. He looked in a puzzled manner at Aunt Jane—"Annetta—pardon me, Mrs. —" "No, it is not Mrs." she laughingly interrupted. "I have never married any one, because—well—because the man I really cared for ran away, and—" Aunt Jane had suddenly become invisible. "Annetta, do you really mean that you are free—alone?" "Except for dear Aunt Jane—she is all I have." "Annetta, fate has tried hard to tangle up the web of our lives in a sorry way. Shall we try to smooth it out together?" "Yes," she replied softly.—Buffalo Express. Every Room a House. Probably nowhere is there so strange a house as that lived in by Joaquin Miller, the "Poet of the Sierras." In fact, in this case "house" is a collective noun, for the bard sleeps under one roof, eats and cooks under another, and entertains visitors under still another. Yet the poet insists that it is all one house, with merely a pleasant walk in the sunshine between the rooms. The poets home is at Diamond, Cal., in the foothills at the back of Berkeley and Oakland. He is much visited by lovers of his poetry and the "guest room" is generally crowded. In this room he has a museum of relics and he shows with grim pride a piece of one of his own ears, which was frozen off in Alaska—The Strand. Chinese Things In Favor There is a decided fancy for things Chinese just now, aroused undoubtedly by the Chinese scenes in three scenes in three popular New York theatrical attractions. Bits of Chinese embroidery are at a premium for the fashioning of theater reticules, hat trimmings and little vests to set in the fronts of cutaway coats. A suit of taupe-colored fabric was noted at Sherry's the other afternoon. The coat, a long-tailed dicky-bird model of the prevailing type, opened in front over a vest of gorgeous Mandarin blue embroidery—the only bit of color. Curate's Advice. "Where have you been, Mary Ann?" "I've been to the Girls' Improvement Class, ma'am," was the maid's reply. "Well, and what did the curate say to you? Did you tell him who your mistress was?" "Please, ma'am, he said I wasn't to give notice, as I intended, but that I was to consider you as my burden—and bear it."—Tit-Bits. LIKE CHILDISH RULE Regulation as to Wearing Hat in British Parliament. No Member May Raise a Point of Procedure Unless His Head Is Covered, and the Custom Is Strictly Observed. Once more the tyranny of the hat was asserted recently in the house of commons, which, though it claims to be the most dignified legislative assembly in the world, is in many ways one of the most ridiculous, writes a London correspondent. It seems almost incredible that in the English house of commons no member may raise a point of procedure during the division unless he is setting down with his hat on, but it is solemnly lald down in the rules, and it was for this reason that one silk hat had to serve three heads during the debate on home rule a few night ago. It is the custom for members of the house to sit with their hats on, and many and various are the rules as to when a member must keep his hat on and when he must take it off. This house is the only legislative assembly which has such a fashion. When a member of the house addresses that body he is supposed to rise and remove his hat before beginning, but the rule that he must be seated and wearing his hat when he takes an exception to the ruling of the chair is on ironclad. Even Gladstone, at the top of his power, was called to order on the one occasion when he forgot to observe it. Being on their feet much of the time, the occupants of the ministerial and opposition front benches generally sit bareheaded. In the midst of the home rule debate a few nights ago, both Sir Edward Carson and Austen Chamberlain had questions to put to the chair when the division was called. Both, however, had left their hats in the members' cloakroom. After a minute or two, Sir John Lonsdale handed over his silk hat, which was donned first by Sir Edward and then, by the Right Honorable Austen, neither of whom it fitted. There is no end to this farce of the hat. A member is supposed to raise his hat whenever he is referred to by another member or whenever he speaks to anyone on the bench above or below him. If he wishes to propose a motion he signifies the fact by raising his hat. Hats are used, too, to reserve places in the house, just as travelers reserve places in trains leaving their bags on the seats, and for this reason most members have a spare tile in their lockers. What Matrimony Means. Simeon Ford, the reconteur, the Washington Star says, was speaking on matrimony at a dinner in New York. "Matrimony should mean politeness," he said, "but does it? "We all remember the man who was rebuked by a policeman for swearing at a woman. "Why, the man retorted angrily and reproachfully, 'she's my wife!' "And the policeman, with a profound apology, hurried on. "Another instance of this sort occurred the other night at the theater. A man hastening back to the parquet as the curtain was about to rise for the third act, flopped down, as he supposed, in his right seat and growled to the lady at his side: "As I was saying when I went out, it's none of your business what other women wear. Suppose Mrs. Joe Smith does make a fool of herself by sporting patent leather pumps and open-work stockings when the thermometer's at zero, is that any reason why you—" "Sir!' said the lady. "The man gasped, and for the first time looked at her. She was not his wife, after all. Overwhelmed to think that he had dared to address a stranger in the brutal tones reserved for his wife alone, he muttered—an apology and fled." Game Quarrels. Quarrels will come, now and then, even in the best regulated neighborhoods. As a rule, I permit such difficulties to be adjusted by the older and more peacefully inclined children, without the slightest interference. But rather than have the children go through the ignominy of complete insurrection—packing up dolls and games and going "right straight home," for instance—I have sometimes suggested that a committee of three be chosed to tell me just what the apparently non-adjustable trouble was. "I am sure you will think hard and tell me just right," I say, and at once the sweet faces become serious, and they really do try hard to report just "square." With a few simple suggestions, or a tactful little reproof, trying not to locate the exact culprit, if possible, and always to include one's own children, if there be the slightest reason, any mother can easily avert the growing cloud; and sunshine and laughter again take the place of the angry tones and words.—Mother's Magazine.

YANKEE ADMIRAL HEADS THE TURKISH NAVY ORIGINATOR OF PLAN TO PENSION MOTHERS IS FIRST SEA LORD OF THE* BRITISH NAVY MISS INEZ MILHOLLAND TO HEAD BIG PARADE American admiral of the imperial Ottoman navy is better known to a host of friends in this country is brought once more into the international lime light by dispatches just received from the seat of the Balkan conflict. These reports are of the man who en- American admiral of the imperial Ottoman navy is better known to a host of friends in this country—is brought once more into the international lime-light by dispatches just received from the seat of the Balkan conflict. These reports are of the man who engineered the sortie of the Turkish fleet from the Dardanelles, a maneuver which showed a potent grip of naval tactics. The career of Ransford D. Bucknam from the time he first shipped before the mast as a cabin boy on the Great Lakes until he was commissioned several years ago with the full rank of an admiral in the Turkish navy, reads like a chapter from fiction. He is the first Christian ever placed in actual command of a Mohammedan fleet. Even Hobart Pasha, the British admiral of the Crimean war, failed to gain this distinction. Bucknam Pasha gained his present rank by his work in reorganizing the Turkish navy under Abdul Hamid. He was a rear admiral when Abdul Hamid was deposed, but the new regime confirmed his rank and later elevated him to his present position. Bucknam was born in Nova Scotia, but his parents moved to Maine when he was very young. His experiences on the Great Lakes began when he was fourteen years old, and two years One of the newest movements in philanthropic effort is that of the est movements in is that of the plan of the state giving to widowed mothers pensions for the safeguarding and caretaking of their young children. For years past, when a mother was left with a brood of little ones while the breadwinner was killed either in the line of his employment or plan of the state giving to widowed mothers pensions for the safeguarding and caretaking of their young children. For years past, when a mother was left with a brood of little ones while the breadwinner was killed either in the line of his employment or otherwise, the only refuge for the mother and her children was the poorhouse, or if that was disdained by the spirited mother, she was forced to resort to all kinds of work, some distasteful, to make enough to keep her little ones under a roof—called home. At a recent session of the Pennsylvania Federation of Woman's Clubs at Williamsport, it was deemed advisable by the delegates to give some serious discussion to the plan of pen- Prince Louis of Battenberg, the new first sea lord of the British navy, has always been persona grata at the English court. Although not "royal" in the technical meaning of the word, he is closely allied by blood and marriage with nearly every reigning house in Europe that counts. PETER H. BURTON His father, Prince Alexander of Hesse, chose his wife outside the charmed circle of royalty. He married a Countess Julle von Hauke, who was created first countess and then princess of Battenberg. Prince Louis is the second child and eldest son of the marriage. The second son, Alexander, was the unfortunate prince of Bulgaria who finally renounced his princely rank and (as Count von Hartenau) married an actress. The next son, Prince Henry, and carrying a trumpet with a purple banner, will lead the procession of woman suffragists in Washington on March 3. Miss Milholland's duties as heraldist will consist of sending abroad ringing messages about the crusade. A. A new feature was added to the parade the other day when the Baltimore suffragists promised to send six chariots driven by women from Baltimore to Washington. These chariots will represent teachers, clergy, Wasted Efficiency. "I shall never forget," said the popular statesman, "the crowd of 10,000 people who cheered me for one solid hour." "Have you ever-thought of your terrible responsibility?" asked the mathematician. "An hour each for 10,000 people represents 10,000 hours, or nearly a year and two months, devoted to the exhaustive and unproductive occupation of cheering." later he sailed from New York as quartermaster on a schooner bound for the Pacific. While the schooner was in Manila the captain and mates died from the cholera. Bucknam was the only man aboard who had studied navigation. He appeared before a special board to be examined for a master's certificate. Bucknam was in command of a steamship that sailed from Tampico for New York in the early '90's. The vessel, which was laden with silver and hemp, struck a sunken wreck when twenty-four hours out of Tampico and the propeller was completely demolished. The mate and three men managed to reach the shore in an open boat and cabled for help. In the meantime the vesSEL had drifted at the will of the winds and waves and a rescuing tug had to spend three weeks locating it. Although the ship was badly damaged, Bucknam balked at the cost of having her drydocked at Key West and he undertook the hazardous task of bringing her to New York in her disabled condition. First, he shifted all the cargo to the forward compartments to settle her by the head. When this failed to bring the stern high enough in the air so that the propeller could be reached he hitched a small schooner laden with stone ballast to the stem. This maneuver raised the stern so high that Bucknam was able to attach a makeshift propeller. It was the first occasion in nautical history where a master had put a propeller on a ship without drydocking her. He brought the steamship to New York. The spectacular feat galned the young skipper great commendation. sloning mothers who were compelled to care for their fatherless children. It is understood that prominent club women and welfare workers are planning to have the next state legislature of Pennsylvania enact a law similar to that now in force in Missouri, where the widows and children are well taken care of. The Missouri plan was launched by Mrs. Henrietta C. Cosgrove of Joplin, Mo. She originated the idea, has worked zealously in its behalf for five years, and is so much encouraged by its reception that she predicts that within another five years every state in the Union will have placed a law providing pensions for widows with children, on their statute books. Mrs. Cosgrove is a widow, but is independently wealthy, as she is the owner of rich producing lead and zinc mining properties in the noted Joplin district, which she operates. Mrs. Cosgrove hopes that the pension statutes will eventually not only benefit mothers who have been widowed by death, but likewise bereft of the breadwinner by divorce, desertion or permanent disability. married the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria, the Princess Beatrice, and became the father of the queen of Spain. The youngest brother, Francis Joseph, married a daughter of the king of Montenegro. His wife is therefore sister-in-law of the kings of Italy and Servia and of two Russian grand dukes. Prince Louis of Battenberg himself married Queen Victoria's granddaughter, the Princess Victoria. One of his sisters is the present czarina, another is the widow of the Grand Duke Sergius, who was blown up a few years ago, and a third is the Princess Henry of Prussia, the kaiser's sister-in-law. The real cause of the advancement of the princes of Battenberg has been their near connection with the Russian court. The late Empress Marie, grandmother of the present Czar Nicholas, was their father's sister. She was very fond of her handsome four nephews, and made it her business to see that they succeeded in life. Several hundred women from Baltimore, and a number of garment workers from New York will march in the ralment of poverty behind a float on which there will be figures symbolical of greed, tyranny and indifference. Ranged around the ragged women workers will be several children from the slum sections of Baltimore and Washington. Miss Rosalie Jones, the "general" of the pilgrims' suffrage expedition from New York to Washington, has just made a two weeks' trip over the route selected for the march. "General" Jones arranged for hotel accommodations along the way and for a number of suffrage meetings to be held in the villages and towns through which the pilgrims will pass. Plagiarist A young author obtained permission from the celebrated satirist, Piron, to read to him a tragedy which was on the eve of being brought out. At every verse that was pillaged Piron took off his hat and bowed, and so frequently had he occasion to do this that the author, surprised, asked what he ment. "Oh," replied Piron, "it is only a habit I have got of saluting my old acquaintances."-Life.

Jack McDermott, the first American to win the open golf championship of the United States, who has held the title for two years, may not defend his title in the open tournament this year. The talked of invasion of American golf by the noted English pros, Duncan, Vardon, Braid and Ray, will not take place.

CAP and BELLS Diner With Powerful Voice Willing to Make It Roar If Anything Went off Wrong With Him. "Everything all right, sir?" asked the waiter. "Steak cooked to suit you, sir?" he asked again, presently. Again the diner nodded. "Potatoes the way you like" emil sir? "Yes." Another period of silence. "I hope the service is satisfactory, sir?" "Are you asking for a tip?", demanded the diner. "Well, sir, of course we get the tips sometimes, and I've got to go to the kitchen for another party," so "So you'd like the tip now to be sure of it? Well, I'll give you one!" "Yes, sir." "Here is the tip: I have a powerful voice that I am capable of using. If anything is wrong I'll let out screams. If you do not hear from me you can know that I am dining in peace and comfort and not in the least regretting your absence, for it's no fun to have to pass verbal judgment on every mouthful I eat." "But the tip?" "That's the tip, and a mighty good one it is too." Stung. "Pretty nice land around here," said the stranger, as his dusty rig stopped in front of the gate. "Certainly is," replied the eager farmer. "Finest in the state." "I reckon it is too high priced for a poor man," said the stranger. "Well," replied the farmer, "it's worth every cent of $1,200 an acre. That's the way I value it. Were you thinking of buying?" "No," replied the stranger, as he jotted something down into a book. "I'm the new county assessor." Thoughtful Jane. "Twenty minutes for refreshments!" bawled the conductor as he passed down the aisle. A little girl with raspberry jam on her chin plucked him by the sleeve. "You needn't stop the train on our account," she said timidly. "We're going to eat ours right here in 'the car.'"—Woman's Home Companion. NOT LIKE HERE "Does your little daughter take after your wife?" "No. Why, she's nearly three years old and she can't say more than eight or ten words." A Swat Indirect. Mandy—What foh yo' being goin' to de postoffice regular?

"Why should I be sorry?" "There will not be another leap year until 1916." "I hadn't thought of that." "Of course, didn't mean to insinuate that there was no season why you should care?" "Thank you." "To a pretty, attractive girl leap year naturally; meats nothing." Why, should you, say that to me?" "Your mirror ought to tell you." "Do you, really, think so?" "I wouldn't say so if I didn't think so." "But you, don't, suppose I would avail myself of the privilege, ceap year it is supposed to give a girl even if I were unattractive, do you?" "No, of course not." "I can't understand why you should have brought up the subject." "It just happened to push into my mind." "That word, pop always, amuses me." "Dogs it.

"Do you believe?" asked Mrs. A. "that wife beaters should be sent to the whipping post?" "No, I really do not answered Mrs. B. "But suppose your husband should beat you—" "In that case it would be inhuman to whip him—even after he got out of the hospital." "Remember, my boy, skid the philosopher, "that the acquirement of riches is not the greatest measure of success." All right, dad, I'll keep that fact "All,right,dad,lill keep that fact in mind."

"The reason, too, it is said that I didn't ever laugh. Is that true?" What, is the explanation—or is there any? Well, for one thing, their women never come out in the latest styles from Paris.

"Do not worry, eat three square meals a day, say your prayers, be courteous to your creditors, keep your digestion good, steer clear of billiousness, exercise, go slow and go easy Maybe there are other things that your special case requires to make you happy, but, my friends, these, I reckon, will give you a good life." The people throughout the United States sympathize with the people of London in the severe loss which they have sustained in the death of the brave Capt. Robert P. Scott who with a few companions perished in a blizzard while on the journey of their return to civilization after having made a successful dash to the South Pole. Our people, like others, are deeply interested in Polar explorations. We have become doubly so, since our brave Matthew Henson represented us at the farthest point north. Capt Scott, although succumbing to the terrors of the Anartic region, has rendered a great service to science. And in this service the Negro shares as well as other people. Long live the memory of Capt. Scott and his brave companions who gave up their lives for the cause of science. Some time ago, through our columns, we called the attention of our readers to a tendency on the part of a certain class of our young men to congregate themselves in groups on West Broad street, and to make bids on the air in their vicinity by the vulgar and coarse words which pass from their lips. Not content with this, they attempt further to satuate this vulgar and beastly make-up by directing most insulting remarks and comments at our girls and misses who peradventure pass their way. Instead of this tendency or practice warning among them as we had hoped that it would do, we find, on the contrary that it is growing more prevalent or wide spread. These corner roughs, as they should be called, seem to be growing more and more immune to that which is polite and refining, becoming more and more steeped in that which is vulgar and unreining. They seem to have lost all their sense of moral decency and responsibility. No woman passerby, especially if she bears the earmark of one of our race, is wholly safe from the results or vulgarity of these hangers on. It is noted with a great deal of regret that we note this condition of affairs, but such is a fact. The integrity and manhood of any race is judged largely by the respect and attention which it gives to its women. This is as much true of the Negro race as of any other. If there are those among us who have not sufficient self respect and honor for our women to refrain from embarrassing or insulting them on the public highways, then it is the duty of those of us who do have this necessary respect and honor for our women, to come to their rescue. Then one we teach these corner roughs or street bullets that we will not allow them to continue to annoy or harass our women in the better it will be for us. Our women and girls should make it a point to inform the earliest possible moment a relative or guardian or an officer of the law, whenever they suffer an insult or injury at the hands of these course habitues of our street sand street corners. This ingenious nanny practice among us must be stopped. And it is the bounder duty of those of us who have pledged ourselves to the support and protection of our women to see to it that they shall be no longer threatened by this hydra-headed monster which stalks on our streets both by day and night. If we do not respect and protect our women, then who will? Let every Negro man or youth who feels the flow of Ne SEABOARD AIR LINERY. SPECIAL TRAIN WASHINGTON D.C.

In Memoriam Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to remove from the sphere of usefulness our esteemed and respected inmate, Sister Jartha Prentice of Myrtle H. H of Ruth No 118, who departed this life December 22, 1912. Be it resolved that we bow in humble submission to the will of the Supreme Power and in words of the Psalmist say, "Give her of the fruits of her hand, let her own work praise her in the gates." And be it further resolved that we extend the bereaved family our deepest sympathy, that while we deeply deplore the loss of our departed inmate, let us strive to have that pure and abiding faith in God with which she bore her illness and meet her in that heaven above. Departed Inmate, sleep sweetly in your quiet room, We hate from you to part. But let no mournful yesterday Disturb your peaceful heart.

GREATER THAN LEXOW PROBE With Sweeney Were Suspended Two Police Captains—Walsh's Story Will Be Given To the Grand Jury. New York.—With Police Inspector Dennis Sweeney and three captains under suspension by direction of the Police Commissioner as results of the confessions of Thomas W. Walsh, captain, and Eugene Fox, patrolman, that they shared graft money with "men higher up," there is an air of expectancy concerning further revelations that appear likely to be made through District Attorney Charles S. Whitman. District Attorney Whitman went to Captain Walsh's home, where that officer is lying seriously ill, late in the afternoon for the purpose of obtaining a supplemental story, one that would furnish a more detailed account than the revelations Walsh made the night before. There was a report also that Mr. Whitman subsequently visited the home of Inspector Sweeney. With Sweeney were suspended two police captains, James Hussey and James F. Thompson. Each has formerly been an inspector of the district over which Sweeney ruled, but were demerited to captancies. Walsh's story will be presented to the grand jury when District Attorney Whitman will ask for indictments. A deputy police commissioner is implicated by Walsh's confession, and his connection with the charges was the subject of investigation both by Police Commissioner Waldo and the District Attorney. Shortly before the Commissioner left police headquarters to visit the Mayor he summoned the official in question to his office, together with two members of the staff of the accused inspector. THE NEW MONEY. Fine Arts Commission Has Approved the Designs. Washington.—The Fine Arts Commission notified Secretary of the Treasury, MacVeagh that it has approved designs for the reverse sides of the small-sized paper currency which will be put in circulation February 1, 1914. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing next week will begin the making of 1,000 plates for the new currency, which is one-quarter of an inch shorter than the old notes. The design will be a figure symbolic of agriculture on the left side and on the right hand side one of commerce. In the center will appear a group of three figures, America, Peace and Plenty. The Secretary has not approved the designs for the face of the notes, except the one dollar bill, which bears an engraving of George Washington. P. U. KIDD. A Baby Named For the Democratic Floor Leader. Washington. — Congressman Oscar Underwood, who has just turned 50 and looks 10 years younger, entered the grandfather class Wednesday. Mr. Underwood's son, who lives in Birmingham, Ala., telegraphed the House leader that he is the father of a girl. Mr. Underwood was advised also today that one of his admirers, whose last name is Kidd, had named his latest arrival Oscar Underwood Kidd. "I wonder if they'll call him O. U. Kidd," Mr. Underwood said to his secretary. TRIES TUBERCULOSIS "CURE." Physician Inoculates Wife With Fried mann Serum. Pittsburgh.—Dr. Austin B. Held, a local physician, arrived home from Berlin, bringing with him some of the tuberculosis serum discovered by Dr. Friedler Franz Friedman. A short time after reaching here Dr. Reld inoculated his wife, a consumptive, in the hope of curing. Dr. Held announced that he was unable to get a single treatment from the discoverer, Dr. Friedmann, but said he procured serum from Dr. Piorkewski, said to be a well-known bacteriologist in Europe. A PRESIDENT'S PERIL. An Attempt To Assassinate the Executive Of Salvador. San Salvador.—An attempt was made to assassinate the President of Salvador, Dr. Manuel E. Araujo.

MR. MORGAN'S $3,500,000 FEE The Report Of the Bureau Of Corporations Shows How the Five Big Concerns Were Brought Under One Control. Washington.—The vast organization of the $140,000,000 International Harvester Company and its important relation to the farmer through control of a substantial proportion of agricultural machinery is disclosed in the long-expected report of the Bureau of Corporations to be submitted to President Taft within a few days. It points out that the International Harvester Company, organized in 1902, brought under one control, through J. P. Morgan & Co. as underwriters, five great concerns manufacturing harvesting machinery and twine—the McCormick, Deering, Plano, Champion and Milwaukee Companies. Since then it is said the parent corporation has been Increased by the acquisition of the Osborne Company and other organizations, through which the concern has spread its business to various subsidiary lines, such as farm wagons, gasoline and alcohol engines, cream separators, tractors and manure spreaders. It is estimated that perhaps 90 per cent of harvesters, 75 per cent. of mowers and 50 per cent. of binder twine used in the United States are made by the International Harvester Company. Stock to the amount of $3,450,000, it is declared, was issued to J. P. Morgan & Co. for services and legal expenses in organizing the giant corporation. The Commissioner of Corporations discusses the operation of the company in detail, pointing to the fact that, unlike other industries, the wholesale dealer is absent, the manufacturer selling directly to the retailer. Particular attention is paid to the practice of the company in entering into contracts with retail dealers, establishing them as agencies for the sale of the company's products. The $1,000,000 International Harvester Company of America is described as simply the selling agency for the entire output of all the factories of the International Harvester Company or its subsidiaries. AFFIANCED AT BIRTH. Girl and Boy, Five Days Old, Already Engaged To Marry. East St. Louis, Ill.—Miss Clara Carter Mallett and Mallet Carter, born in the same flat here last Thursday are engaged to marry. The children are each five days old, and the wedding is scheduled to take place many years hence. It seemed so remarkable to the parents of the children that the stork should visit both homes within four hours, that they agreed to bring up the children in the knowledge that they were engaged to each other. DIED FROM FRIGHT. Storm Sweeps Alabama—Many Horses and Cows Killed. Gadsden, Ala.—Mrs. Dora Reed, 63 years old, died from fright when a storm which swept over this section threatened to unroof her home. Scores of horses and live stock were killed in the hurricane, and an inch and a half of rain fell in half an hour. KILLS TWO CHILDREN AND SELF. Widow Selects Daughter's Wedding Day For Tragedy. Lebanon, Ma.—Mrs. Guy Reichtmyer killed two of her children and herself. One of the children was 5 and the other 2 years old. Mrs. Reichtmyer was the widow of a Leadmier, Mo. merchant. THE SITUATION IS DESPERATE Calero Tells Truth About Conditions in Mexico. A SENSATION IN THE SENATE Alliance Between Indians and Mexican Rebels Disclosed By the Capture Of A Band Of the Indians By Americans. Mexico City.—"I lled to the American government for 10 months, telling them that the Mexican revolution would be over in six weeks I was forced to invest my diplomatic mission with a domino and masks." This statement was made by Manuel Calero, formerly Mexican ambassador to the United States during the discussion of the loan measure in the Senate. He continued: "The truth is that the department of finance has not painted the situation as it really is. We should speak the truth, though it destroys us. "The truth is that the situation is desperate." Senor Calero's speech created a tremendous sensation among those present. Ernesto Madero, minister of finance, replied, calling Manuel Calero "an indiscreet ambassador and a bad financier." Washington.—An apparent alliance between the Yaqui Indians and the Mexican rebels has been disclosed with the capture of a band of Yaquils by American troops 12 miles west of Nogales, Ariz. The Indians had a consignment of arms which they were prepared to carry into Mexico. Bandits continue to pillage through Northern Sonora, though Americans are reported returning to ranches and mines. El Paso, Tex.—A document signed by Gen. Jose Blanco was made public in which the former commander of Madero's rebels orders his captains to "do as their conscience dictates" in disbanding their troops or joining the revolution. The order, it was said, was signed when Blanco was a prisoner of rebels, who released him on parole. Blanco's command consisted of some 600 cavalry operating in the Casas Grandes district.

New York.—In the one month since the strike in the men's and boys' garment-making industry began here a loss of $30,000,000 has been borne by the manufacturers and their workmen, according to estimates published. It is declared that more than one-tenth of the annual output of men's and youth's ready-made clothing, amounting to $20,000,000, has been lost to the industries in this city, while the loss in wages to workmen is estimated at $10,000,000. This does not include the losses incurred by the strikes in the women's garment industry. WILSON'S PRIVATE SECRETARY. Joseph Patrick Tumulty Now Acting In That Capacity. Trenton, N. J.—Joseph Patrick Tumulty, at present private secretary to Governor Wilson, will be secretary to the President after March 4, according to an announcement by President-elect Wilson. Mr. Tumulty has been associated with Mr. Wilson since the Gubernatorial campaign, three years ago. He became his private secretary when Mr. Wilson was elected Governor; but resigned last November to become Clerk of the State Supreme Court at a salary of $6,000, a position to which he was appointed by the Governor. He continued, however, to discharge the duties of secretary to Governor Wilson without salary. DOGS OF WAR LOOSE AGAIN Hostilities Between Turkey and the Allies Resumed. TO FIGHT NOW TO THE END. Bulgarian Leader Declares That the Allies Will Conclude Peace, But There Will Be No Further Armistice Granted. London.—The Balkan war has been resumed. The armistice had lasted exactly two months. Bulgaria has turned a deaf ear to the remonstrance of the powers, and unless Turkey yields to the Balkan demands the allied armies will now attempt to drive her completely out of Europe. According to a dispatch from Belgrade, Scutari is already on the point of falling. It is reported that the Turkish commander has sent two representatives to the Servlan commander to propose the capitulation of that town. Dr. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian delegation, in an interview in Paris, said he had promised Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, that if the Turks immediately accepted the allies' conditions, they would conclude peace, but whatever happened, there would be no further armistice. Sir Edward Grey had a long interview with the King, after which he attended a brief meeting of the ambassadorial conference, but nothing of importance was transacted, there being no new development since Saturday. Osman Nizami Pasha, the second Turkish delegate, left London to resume his ambassadorial duties at Berlin. He said that from information received from military sources he believed the allies underestimated the condition of the Turkish army and would find themselves confronted by a redoubtable enemy—the best Musulman warriors, veterans from Arabia, who had fought under Izzet Bey, and such tried soldiers and good marksmen lately engaged in Tripoli under Enver Bey and Pethy Bey. He added: "That ambassador was right who predicted that if driven to despair the Turks would fight like wild animals." The finances of all the states concerned in the war are in a condition of demoralization and Turkey will emerge from the conflict practically bankrupt. INCOME TAX RATIFIED. Will Reach Incomes Down To $5,000 and Abolish Present Law. Washington.—An income tax is now one of the provisions of the Constitution of the United States. Wyoming's ratification of the income tax amendment—the sixteenth change in the Constitution and the first since the Reconstruction—completed a list of 36 States—three fourths of the Union—which have approved the provision. Congress now will enact a law to levy the tax, and it probably will become effective during the extraordinary session to be called by President-elect Wilson in March. The tax itself, its provisions and its limitations are all left to Congress. MARTIAL LAW STANDS: Supreme Court Will Not Interfere In West Virginia. Washington.—The Supreme Court declined to interfere with the martial law ordered by Governor Glasscock in the Cabin Creek coal district of West Virginia, where trouble arose from a strike. A negro complained that the Governor was without authority to place the district under martial law, and applied to the court to overrule his sentence of five years in the penitentiary by a military commission. PURSUED BY MISFORTUNE. Minister Under Knife Son Dies and Shock Kills Wife. New Brunswick, N. J.—Lying seriously ill from the effects of an operation in a hospital, Rev. Isaac S. Schenck, a retired minister of Highlands Park, N. J., has not been told that a son, Willard, a student at Rutgers College, died Tuesday and that his wife, shocked by this happening, passed away Wednesday. GAYNOR'S ASSAILANT DEAD. James J. Gallagher Tried To Kill New York's Chief Executive. Trenton, N. J.—James J. Gallagher, who, on August 9, 1910, shot Mayor Gaynor, of New York city in the neck while on a Hoboken pier, died in the State Asylum of paresis. Gallagher was admitted to prison here in 1911, but was removed to the hospital about a year later. PAPER PLANT DAMAGED Fire Causes Loss Of $50,000 To Erle Herald. Erie, Pa.—Fire starting from spontaneous combustion in the stock and file rooms of the Erie Evening Herald caused a loss, of $50,000. Much of the damage was caused by water. Explorer Tells of His Visit to the Dolphin and Union Stralta Eskimos —A Primitive People. Our first day among the Dolphin and Union Stratts Eskimos was the day of all my life to which I had looked forward with the most vivid anticipations, and to which I now look back with equally vivid memories, for it introduced me, a student of mankind and of primitive men especially, to a people of a bygone age. Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee went to sleep in the nineteenth century and woke up in King Arthur's time among knights who rode in clanking mall to the rescue of lair ladies; we, without going to sleep at all, had walked out of the twentieth century into the country of the intellectual and cultural contemporaries of a far earlier age than King Arthur's. These were not such men as Caesar found in Gaul or in Britain; they were more nearly like the still earlier hunting tribes of Britain and of Gaul living oblivious to the building of the first pyramid in Egypt. Their existence on the same continent with our populous cities was an anachronism of ten thousand years in intelligence and material development. They gathered their food with the weapons of the men of the Stone Age, they thought their simple, primitive thoughts and lived their insecure and tense lives. Their lives were to me the mirrors of the lives of our far ancestors whose bones and crude handiwork we now and then discover in river gravels or in prehistoric caves. Such archaeological remains found in various parts of the world, of the men who antedated the knowledge of the smelting of metals, tell a fascinating story to him whose scientific imagination can piece it together and fill in the wide gaps, but far better than such dreaming was my present opportunity. I had nothing to imagine; I had merely to look and listen; for here were not remains of the Stone Age, but the Stone Age itself, men and women, very human, entirely friendly, who welcomed us to their homes and bade us stay—V. Stefansson, in Harper's Magazine. When Women Indulge in Repartee. Repartee is a delicate instrument, a fine product, a thing of hints, lights and shadows. Anybody who does not believe this, please stand up. Apparently, everybody agrees to the description. Wherefore there is now related the example of the crudest repartee ever indulged in by man or woman. It was in in a western city, a place which had risen to the dignity of having "fashionable suburbs," in which the inhabitants resented the arrival of people who "did not belong." One day there appeared in the community a woman who had lots of money and a fine and ornamental lack of tact in dealing with her neighbors. She called and called and called on the women in the suburb which was "fashionable," and, strange to relate, she could never find them "in." One woman particularly disliked her, and was never to be seen. At last the newcomer met the one who had avoided her in such marked manner. "My dear," said the avolder. "It is such a pity that when you call I am always out—always." Responded she who had been snubbed: "Out of your home—or your hend?"—Popular Magazine. Had Heard Enough Fair Elizabeth tripped blithely into the country postoffice. "Now, I want to know," she demanded, with a telltale blush, as she handed the clerk a pink communication addressed to her lover, "how long it will be before I get an answer to this letter?" "That depends," he answered. "If he's in jail they will let him write once a week or, maybe, once a month only. If he's dead broke he'll have to wait till he can earn the price of a stamp, and I have no data upon which to base an opinion of his earning capacities. If he's ill in bed he may not care to dictate his heart's sentiments to a cold, disinterested third party, and if it's smallpox they won't let him write at all; ditto if he's dead. Then, again, if he's got a new girl—"At which moment he realized that the fair Elizabeth had flown.—Tit-Bits Strictly Truthful They are already asking for jobs on the ground of party services rendered. One of the successful candidates tells us that yesterday morning he was approached by a rough neck whom he positively knew to be a member of the defeated party. "Well," said the jobber-elect, "what do you want?" "I want you to remember me when you begin to give out the jobs." "Why, what did you ever do for me or the party?" "Didn't I stick up for you all durin' the campaign?" "Stick up for me? Why, you're a Republican." "Sure, but I stuck up for you. I'm a bill poster."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dinner Files Into a Map's Door. Lawrence Walls of New Castle, Del., secured his Christmas dinner in a most unusual way. During a storm the day previous a mallard wild duck, weighing more than four pounds, driven by the wind, struck the back kitchen door of Mr. Walls' house, causing the door to open. The fowl was captured, and the next day it graced the table, forming a conspicuous part of the Christmas spread. Proof That Ancients Knew Almost as Much About It as Do the Present Race of Practitioners. Digging into the Sanscrit of the "Atharva Veda," a writer in the London Lancet discovers that a very good imitation of modern surgery was practiced in India in the third century before the beginning of the Christian era. The great Indian surgical and medical authority of that time was Sushurta, whose pages are said to bear comparison with the most up-to-date treatise on the matter of reparative surgery, hygiene and preventive medicine. "A surgeon well versed in the knowledge of surgery," he says. "should slice off a patch of living flesh from the cheek of a person devoid of ear lobes in a manner so as to have one of its ends attached to its former seat. Then the part where the artificial ear lobe is to be made should be slightly scarified with a knife and the living flesh, full of blood and sliced off as previously directed, should be united to it so as to resemble a natural ear lobe in shape." This is as good work as the surgeons of the present day will do, and again in speaking about infection Sushurta says: "He falls an easy victim to internal and external diseases who drinks of, or bathes in, a pool of water which is full of poisonous worms or is saturated with decayed animal matter or is defiled with germs of vermin or decomposed animal organisms, or is covered over with the growth of aquatic plants, or is strewn over with withered and decomposed leaves, or which in any way is rendered poisonous and contaminated, as well as he who drinks and bathes in the freshly collected water of a pool or a reservoir during the rains." To Be Happy. There was once a wise woman who realized the possibilities of health for her husband and children at the family table. She had learned by experience that pleasant conversation should wait on digestion, just as good digestion on appetite. Nutritious food she provided in varieley day after day, but she went further than that. She made it a point that meal time should be hours of refreshment even more for the mind than the body. Robert Louis Stevenson recognized humor to be a saving grace in that beautiful morning prayer of his. "Help us," he says, "to perform the petty round of irritating duties and concerns with laughter and kind faces, to go blithely on the business of the day; to let cheerfulness abound with industry." So the wise woman had every painful topic promptly dismissed at her board, and business cares and burdens were not so much as hinted at. Bright and gay talk only was cultivated by common consent. The children were never scolded nor the father of the family called to book. It was not found difficult to keep the talk in pleasant channels, and the effort was amply repaid both at the time and later. Finger Nails. It is always amusing to speculate on the character of one's neighbor. A very simple aid in so doing is to watch the nails. If a man's or woman's nails are long and slender you may be quite certain the person is not so robust physically as the possessor of short, broad nails. Whereas, men and women with the long, narrow type of nail are inveterate visionaries, those having short nails are almost always conspicuous by the strength of their logical powers. It is the latter who make the best and most reliable critics. A further and almost certain characteristic of long-nailed people is their intense depreciation of themselves and their own efforts in any branch of work. The feeling almost amounts to pessimism with them. Such a point of view, however, seldom worries those possessing short nails. In fact, more often than not rather the reverse is the case; they are inclined to be oversure of themselves. Thought Samuel Was a Thief. It was the Scripture lesson. The subject was the call of Samuel. The children had sung, "Hushed Was the Evening Hymn," which describes the call. The teacher then asked a few questions, one being, "What did Samuel do while Ell was asleep?" "Stole his watch," was the prompt reply from one of the girls. The teacher, somewhat annoyed at such an apparently senseless answer, called for the second verse: His watch the Temple child, The little Levite kept. Now came the child's turn. "Please, teacher, doesn't that mean that Samuel kept the old man's watch for himself?"—Strand. Beginning Afresh. Ralph Waldo Trine, writing in Harper's Bazar, says: "Each morning is a fresh beginning. We are, as it were, just beginning life. In a sense there is no past, no future. Wise is he who takes today and lives it, and tomorrow when it comes—but not before it comes. The past is of value only by way of the lessons it has brought us. There should be no regrets or crippled energies that result from such. We have stumbled—all have stumbled. Coal High Enough.

Experts Call Attention to the Power ful Aerial Fleets Pogseased by All the European Powers—Nation 1 Now Far In the Rear. __ Washington.—Hopelessly outclassed by France, Germany, England, Russia and many small nations of Europe in ‘the number of aeroplanes in use for military purposes, friends of the flying ‘game in the United States are busy planning a tentative bill calling for a $3,000,000 appropriation for the ad. ‘vancement of aviation by the army ‘and navy. A dill is now being prepared call- ‘ing upon congress to authorize this ‘amount, in order to put the United States to the front in this new arm ot defense and.offense. It is understood ‘the bill will be introduced into the house of representatives, possibly by Representative William G. Sharp of Ohio, who is known to the flying men in this country as “the champion of the cause” in the house. It will be pointed out that this great appropriation really would give this ‘country the prestige enjoyed by the larger nations of Europe in this new ‘field. Including the aeroplanes and hydroplanes of both the army and the | the navy, the United States today can muster but twenty-two machines.

James Allen. scientific men interested in the ad: vancement of the scfence made pos: ‘sible by the efforts of Prof: Samuel ‘Langley, Wilbur Wright, Glenn Curtis and other ploneers of flying. 7 Brigadier General James Allen, chiet officer of the signal corps, deplores the fact that the year 1912 has shown ‘no advancement in aviation, in the ‘United States army except that of ‘the individual efforts of the aviators themselves, and other officials directly interested in the advancement of this ‘new arm of the nation’s offense and ‘defense. “It is time some real enthusiasm is shown by’ congress,” declares the veteran officer, who retires from the service on February 13. “We are prac- tically standing still In this great and ‘scientific problema, while France, Eng. land, Germany, Russia, Japan and ‘most all of the larger foreign nations are making wondérful strides.” According to General Allen, the ‘United States army has but fourteen ‘biplanes ready for instant use, and only fourteen officers capable of fiy- ing, while practically every foreign na- tlon completely and overwhelmingly outclasses this country in the size of its aerial fleet. _ Individual efforts of the aviators were directed mainly during the last twelve months to the perfection of wireless telegraphy from flying aero- planes. Splendid success was met with, messages being flashed as far as fifteen miles from biplanes moving as fast as sixty miles an hour. The avia- ‘tors also were successful in directing the fire of the artillery at Fort Riley, Kan., at a hidden target from ma- chines while at altitudes of 2,000 feet or moré, by using the wireless. The army paid a great toll, how- ever, in the death of two lieutenants and one enlisted man, killed at Col- lege Park, Md. during the summer. ‘They were Lieutenant Leighton W. Hazlehurst, Jr., Lieutenant Louis C. Rockwell and Corporal Frank Scott. Something He Had Seen. A teacher was taking a class of small children in English grammar and was explaining the difference be- tween a common<and abstract noun. “An example of a common noun {s deg,” she said; “for you can see it, while you cannot see anything that is an abstract noun. “For instance, have‘any of you seen abundance?” There was silence for about a minute.

The letter read: “[ have been attending the White House receptions for years, but I am tired of using another person’s ticket. WII you please send me one for the next reception In my own name?” The coveted cards admitting guests ge the White House on the occasion f the four big affairs of the winter are much sought after, and especially so this season, since President-elect Wilson has intimated the receptions would be abandoned during his admin- istration. Every description of sub- terfuge is resorted to in ‘an effort to obtain invitations which, since the top- heavy lists were cut down, have been scarcer than ever before. This particular appeal, however, was the most unusual that has yet passed under Secretary Hilles’ notice.

One of the events of 1912 as recorded in the office of the fish commissioner, was the salmon catch on the Pacific coast, the largest in ten years, That shows how the fish habit is growing in the far west’ The fish catch in the east Is also increasing year by year. The output, for 15 years past, amounting to $3,687,921,057, and the cost of producing young salmon in these 15 years has been reduced from $468 to $122 per million. When you talk about the output of young fish by the fish commission, runs well into the quadrillfons, quintillions and the figures and ciphers are in great demand when computing Uncle Sam's fish-hatching operations. Perhaps the plethora of ciphers, required for fish- hatehing estimates is responsible for the proneness to exaggerate when a simple fish story fs told.

Most of the Money Lenders Are Women Who Often Exact Nine Hundred Per Cent—Big Fees for Small Loans. Nine hundred per cent.! Incred- ible! Yet that Is about the rate of Interest which was paid by a poor woman In Bermondsey, who lately poisoned herself by drinking oraltc acid, a writer in London Tit-Bits states. She had borrowed the sum of 14s ‘and had contracted to pay interest at the rate of one penny In the shill- ing per week! ‘That Is to say, she had undertaken to pay Is 2d for the loan of 14s for one, week. As the coroner said. that rate of interest “seems excessive.” Going to Bermondsey recently, the writer called on the Rev. H. Williams of St. John’s Horsleydown, who has studied the problem of money lending closely and then discovered that the shylocks of the slums do not confine their operations to Bermondsey; they exist all over the country and are as troublesome In Liverpool and Green- ock as they are In London. They are not money lenders in the sense in which the Inte Isaac Gordon was a money lender; they do not rent of- fices, nor do they advertise them- selves as financiers willing to accom- modate necessitous persons “on note of hand only” with loans ranging from £5 to £5,000, nor do they circularize schoolboys, undergraduates and cler- gymen, as is the habit of the shylocks of the middle classes. Most of them, in fact, are unregistered, and there- fore, if detected in money lending transactions, are Hable to heavy fines. The license costs £10, and the shy- lock of the slum 1s not sufficiently sup- plied with capital to be able to waste money on licenses when {ft can be more profitably employed. 3 ‘ ‘The bulk of these slum money lend- ers are women. As a rule, they are of the class to which their clients be Jong. In one case the money lender ‘was a woman so poor that in order to obtain capital she pawned her clothes. There was a streak of finan- cial genius in this woman, for she was able to obtain money from a pawnbroker at the rate of a farthing in the shilling; she Tent it to her clients at the rate of twopence in the shilling. In Bermondsey the rate of interest charged by these money lend- ers is generally a penny in the shill- ing; in Liverpool it is frequently two- pence. But in practice the rate in Bermondsey is often twopence. This is due to the fact that Saturday, the day on which repayment is generally made, is always treated as the begin- ning of another wex. For example, if a, client borrows 5 shillings on Thursday afternoon and repays that sum on the following Saturday she is sald. to have had the Ioan for two weeks. The amount of interest due from her, therefore, is tenpence! As ‘we are usually pald on Saturday, it is clearly impossible for a women in urgent need of money on Thursday to repay the borrowed sum on Friday, when fivepence interest is due. If the borrower wishes to retain the principal for an additional week, she Is allowed to do so at double rates of interest. Thus a woman borrowing 5s on the Thursday of one week and re- paying it on the Saturday of the next week owes interest for three weeks, although she has only had the money, in fact, for nine days, and the amount of interest duc from her is 2s 1d. In some places, notably fn Liver pool, the money lender expects the borrower, even If the amount of the Joan Js only a shilling, to spend a por- tion of It in buying fish, steak and other edibles or beer. The charges made for these goods are heavy, usually two or three times their value. One money lender used to sell bedding and furniture to her clients, lending the money to them to pay for it. She and other money lenders have carried the work of the “tally man” beyond the usual practice, and appear, in consequence, to have made it more profitable. It may be asked: “How can these unregistered, and therefore fllegal, money lenders make their business pay, in view of the high rate of ‘inter- est charged. ‘and also of thé fact that they do not obtain security for thelr loans?” Strange as it “may seem, their losses through defaulting clients are very few. The sums lent are gen- erally small, seldom more than £1 and usually under 10s. The loan fs, in most cases, contracted by a woman without the knowledge of her hus- band. This fact gives the money Iend- er a hold over the borrower, und tho supposititious question stated above may be answered thus: “By methods of bluff and terrorism.” The borowers do not know that an unregistered money lender is subject to a heavy fine, but even if they were Ww.
