"Ability to take a man's measure, or, as they say it themselves, 'to size him up,' is the possession of nearly every boy of school age," said an ex-pedagogue the other day. "In the school where I taught the boys quickly hit upon 'Pop' as the correct name for their principal, because they soon learned that he resorted to nothing more than a fatherly side talk as a punishment for school lawbreakers. The first assistant, however, impressed them in quite a different manner, for he was known in their private councils as 'Fiery Spike,' the first part of the name reflecting the possession of much temper, the last part a long, which brought to him the strength which brought to the youngsters visions of a young man teacher, whose hair was the color of oxidized iron and who was a terror to boys with a tarnished memory. Each teacher had an extra label, and each one of the labels fitted remarkably well." Skill in Diagnosis. Robert Henri, the well-known painter, told the other day a striking story about the Philadelphia physician, Dr. W. W. Keen. An artist was escorting Dr. Keen through an exhibition of pictures. Before the portrait of a man of middle age the physician stopped. "Do you know this man?" he asked. "I believe," the artist answered, "that it is Mr. So-and-So." "Is he dead?" "Yes. He has been dead almost two years." "He said Dr. Keen," I would wager that he died of heart disease." The artist, struck by a skill that could find material for diagnosis in a picture, inquired into the death of the portrait's original, and found that the man had indeed died of heart disease the winter before—Detroit News Tribune.

The peculiar names given to estates in Baltimore county in days gone by appeal strongly to the risibles of the many lawyers who go to Towson to search the old transfer books and should delight the searcher after unique nomenclature. All the transfers in former years began with "the indenture" which has been of late years changed to "this deed." The first deed filed for record concerned the transfer of "Cub Hill Reserveed" from Michael C. Jenkins and William H. Collins, Trustees, to Owen Donovan. This was followed by the transfer of "Alry Hills and Pleasant Springs" from Amelia Gannon to John Thomas Ritter and John Thomas Ritter, and David and James Branch" were conveyed from Samuel Dicks to Alexander Lehr. In the Second District was a tract of land called "Plains of Paran." "Petticats Loose" is the title of an estate in the Sixth district, and "General Lafayette the friend of General Washington; therefore, the friend of Universal Liberty," is rather unwieldy appellation applied to a homestead in the Sixth district. "Stone's Adventure" is near Towson. "Devil's Back Bone" on the line of the Fifth and Sixth districts, and "Two Down at Once" is in the Fifth district. Some other queer titles are "Tipton Puzzle," "Frederick Stradt Enlarged," "Greece Hope," "Coop Hope," "Felicity," "Good Will," "Frishe's Delight," "Father's Last Will, or Max Wells Point," "Bridgewell Dock," "York's Chance," "Little Brittain," "Hard Scrabble," "Stephen's Bargain," "Addition to Amos Venture Resurveyed," "Wilmot's Retirement," "Short Leg Tom," and "Soldier's Delight."—Baltimore Sun. STORY WITH A MORAL. Gov. Cummins Touched Conscience of Political Panhandler. When Gov. Cummins of Iowa was approached by a notorious office-seeker and political pandheral for a political promise a few days ago he indulged in the following story: "A colored preacher whom I once listened to made a strong appeal to save his church by increasing its membership. The Sabbath preceding the contribution hat had been filled with buttons and mutilated coins. So he pleaded, "Honor your trun, I am tryin' to prove absturiously that de Lord God has a despatible hate for a deceiver and a falsifier, and you can't propagate him by no mutilations, and I solicit eagerly and pointedly that the pussons what put them mutilations and deceptitudes in the contribution hat last Sunday will not come forward when I calls for those who wish to pledge themselves to support this church and its pastor. "The entire congregation took the pledge." The office-seeker enjoyed the story, but felt so embarrassed that he went away without any pledge.—New York Times.

GOLD COLLAR AND CHAIN, BOTH OF WONDERFUL WORKMANSHIP GOLD COLLAR AND CHAIN, BOTH OF WONDERFUL WORKMANSHIP BOWL REATEN OUT OF A SINGLE SHEET OF GOLD, AND TWISTED BECKLET OF GOLD. The Chancellor's Court in London has reserved decision in the case of the Attorney General vs. Trustees of the British Museum, brought to decide the claim of the crown to the gold ornaments as treasure trove which were found in a field near the shores of Lough Foyle, Ireland, by two men plowing, and which afterward came into the possession by purchase of the British Museum. Some of the articles are amazingly and delightfully funny, and much better served with mille, well serve GOLD COLLAR as models for the best craftsmen of to-day. They were found in 1896 by Thomas Nicoll, a farm laborer, while he was plowing for a Mr. Gibson near Limedy, a farm laborer, derry, on the shores of Lough Eoyle. The all articles are of alloyed gold. The model boat is 7¼ inches long and 3 inches wide, and is fitted with nine rowing benches, oars, grappling iron and other equipment. It weighs 3 ounces 3 pennyweight. The oars are lance shaped, and there are fifteen of them, each about 2½ inches in length. The model is made of 4 single planks. The gold is stiff and reined at the bow and stern. It is, without doubt, a true representation of the ancient seagoing craft of the Irish, in which, as legend says, they even crossed the Atlantic to America before any other white man saw it. The "carraghs" to be found yet in use at the Arran islands and at Tory, vessels made of rawhide stretched over a ribbed frame, are but decadent forms of those early designs. The bowls are of plain planks, each steaten with a fluted edge. The size of a teacup. The largest weight 1 ounce 5 pennyweight and 12 grains. It has --- four gold wire rings inserted near its rim and has a twisted golden handle like that of those iron cooking pots which hang from crates. The chains are among the best specimens of Celtic art. They are wrought so fine that they look like twisted floss of yellow silk. The large chain is $14\%$ inches long, of dull gold, of a different alloy from that of the handle. It weighs 2 oz. 7 dwts. The other is $15\%$ inches in length and is of a most delicate pattern of plating. AND CHAIN, BOTH OF WONDERFUL There were originally two golden, or twisted, necklaces, but of one only about half is preserved. The perfect specimen is about five inches in diameter and weighs 3 oz. 7 dwt.s and 9 grs. The collar which was found is of as beautiful a design as any, though not of such artistic execution as some of the ancient goldsmith work in the Irish museum. But it is an excellent witness of the ability and skill of Irish craftsmen, and to the high civilization of Ireland in very ancient times. The collar is $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter and is hollow. A section of the tube measures $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches across. It is formed of repouse plates of gold, gold-filled or tubular frame, and twisted together. The relief work is executed in a dashing and brilliant style. It is believed to date from the first century of the Christian era. Arthur James Evans, archaeologist, after discussing the possible Viking origin of the ornaments, dismissed as far-fetched the suggestion that they were plundered from a shrine. The collar, he said, was undoubtedly an ancient Irish fabric, and was the finest example existing of that class of gold work. The conclusion which Mr. Evans formed was that the articles were deposited probably in the first century (A. D.), when the custom of making votive offerings was very widespread. All the circumstances, he thought, as well as the nature of the articles pointed to the conclusion that these articles were a thank-willing offer made by some ancient Irish sea king to a marine divinity for having been saved from the perils of the sea. University, and mentor R. I. Academy, saw the gold ornaments. He knew of no instance in Ireland or $cotland of votive offerings having been made in the WORKMANSHIP manner suggested by the defendants. The theory put forward that these articles were votive offerings was, in his opinion, a very improbable one. There was no evidence at all to support the assertion that they were votive offerings. They seemed to him to belong to a time between the late Celtic period and the introduction of Christianity. Mr. George Coffey, Council Member of the R. I. Academy, and keeper of antiquities in the National Museum, Dublin, deposed that, in his opinion, all the circumstances pointed to the conclusion that these articles were concealed treasure. There was no evidence that the ancient Irish made votive offerings to sea gods. The very fact of the finding of these ornaments excluded such a belief. He had be made a special study of the geology of the north coast of Ireland. His opinion was that the elevation of the beach was completed in prehistoric times. Mr. Grenville Cole, professor of geology in the Royal College of Science, Dublin, agreed that the upheaval of the land at Lough Foyle occurred before the close of the stone age in Ireland, and that age was distinctly pre-historic.

Many of the best surgeons in New York, including those in the larger hospitals, send their instruments for repairs to a man in the Williamsburg district of Brooklyn. He has also a contract with the city for repairing surgical instruments for the public hospitals. According to this specialist, American-made steel has not yet reached a point of perfection that makes it available for a superior class of work. "Surgical steel can be wrought and bought only in England," he said. "The famous surgeons of Berlin and Vienna must send to England for their instruments. In modern surgery, where life or death depends absolutely upon reliability, they do exactly the work that the operator expects of it, no surgeon will take chances with knife, scissors or forceps that he cannot depend upon as absolutely as he can depend upon his own nerve—and a man who cannot command his nerves has no more business at an operating chair than a man with no knowledge of navigation has on the bridge of an ocean liner." CHARMS USED IN JAPAN. Considered Efficacious for Jealousy and Smallpox. Japanese ladies afflicted with the green-eyed monster use a charm somewhat similar to those practiced in England and Scotland by the witches of a few centuries since. The aggrieved damsel rises at "the hour of the Bull"—about 2 a. m.—dresses herself in white, with flowing hair, and wears a mask. She candles on her head, a mirror round her neck, and a lighted torch of bamboo and pine roots in her mouth, and takes the effigy of the faithless one to some shrine where she nails it to a tree in the grounds. The unlucky original suffers untold pains in the spot where the nail is driven, but should the charmer meet the ghost of an enormous bull and show her terror the spell will fail. Charms for the smallpox are also used, and they consider a piece of paper with the limb of an animal, scraped of red, with three of the characters for horse, as an infallible safeguard.

Edwin Hawley, railroad president, financier, speculator, stood at the corner of Exchange place the other day watching a lively game of crabs between him and the "Angel," chiefly because of his language, thought he was "broke." He went through pocket after pocket, and at last found a ceat. "Nodder trow!" he shouted. Again they threw—and the "Angel" was really broke. He picked up his hat and stood up, not to be loaded Mr. Hawley. He looked up in the stranger's face, and said, as he turned down the street: "It's hell, aln't it, mister?"

NOT AN IDEAL SPOT FOR THE NERVOUS INDIVIDUAL. Inhabitants of Venezuelan Town Never at a Loss for Excitement—Every House Easily Turned into a Fortress. Cudad Bolivar, the scene of the Venezuelan revolutionists' last stand against Castro's army, is an exciting place to live in, even at the best of times. "It is a semi-cirillized spot on the verge of the unknown jungle," said a New Yorker, who has been there. "I was condemned for my sins, to spend a week there shortly before the town fell into the hands of the revolutionists last year." "I noticed that if anybody went out dark after he always stuck his revolver in his belt, and I was warned by several friendly citizens not to stay out late in the streets unless I wished to be held up and perhaps murdered. "It was a paradise for the adventurous. One day I saw a rum-shop keeper chase the local barber down the street with a loaded pistol in one hand and a machete in the other. I offered up a prayer for the torsional artist, because I had no rancor and he was the one loudly he escaped. "The trouble was about an overdue account. The purveyor of liquid joy was simply trying to collect his money according to the approved local custom. "Another day an imprisoned revolutionist escaped from the cuartel, or barracks, and a couple of soldiers ran out to stop him with bullets. He got one in the leg and pulled up howling. The people thought the revolutionists had 'come, in a trice shops were shut, doors bolted, and everybody disappeared from the stores and shutters of the merchants' stores are made of sheet iron. When they are closed the stores become vertible fortresses. "Most of the private houses are similarly protected, and have little grilles through which the inmates can spy out to see whether visitors are enemies or friends. Truly, a soothing place for a nervous man to live in. "When the shots were fired at the runaway I happened to be in Brittany, and I marched with the Vice-Council. Immediately he heard the shots he locked his safe, the clerk shut, and barred the steel doors, and then we got our revolvers and went out on the balcony to see the fun. But if it was all over in a moment, and the poor,wounded wretch was dragged roughly along the street back to the cuartel. "Cludad Bolivar is probably the hottest place on earth. It is built on solid black rock which retains the day's heat far into the night, so the practice is practical. York City's heat wave would have been welcomed as a cool spell by the inhabitants of the Orinoco hades. "All day long one is plagued by myriads of mosquitoes more aggressive, even, than those which have made New Jersey famous; and it night battalions of frogs croak horribly and murder sleep. "The walls of the houses are badly pitted with bullet marks—gilm relics of former revolutions—and many are in ruins. Ciudad Bolivar has often been a battlefield before to-day. "The streets are ungaved, and in the center of each there is a green, stagnant ditch. Where streets intersect, a plank is thrown across to bridge these two no vehicles, and indeed very little civilization of any kind. The place is always swarming with nickel-plated generals and bandit soldiers, who fatten on the unfortunate inhabitants, sip aguadiente, smoke their eternal brown cigarettes and discuss the glorious victories they are going to win."—New York Sun. The Oldest Ship in the World. The time was when American ships carried a broom at the massthead (following the custom of the Dutch) as a sign that America swept the seas, writes Broughton Brandenburg in Leslie's. In those days nine shipbuilding timber grew right down to the shore of the Atlantic coast, and there was hardly a bay on the New England shore where there was not a shipbuilding yard. So it happens that most of the old sailing ships are built of American or Norwegian timber. I have seen hundreds of old square riggers roaming in the strange flags whose every stick grew out of the ship. Ships built of Eesock oak are famous for their lorevity. The oldest ship in the world, the mall schooner Vigilant, running into St. Crox, French West Indies, is now under the French flag, but was built, so I have been told, in 1802, of Essex oak at Essex, Mass., and was long under the Stars and Stripes. All They Could Raise The old colored man was wading about his inundated farm in the flood district. "Look here, boss," he said, rubbing his brow, "do nature make everything to suit its surroundin'$?

We have read many good things which have been written on the "vexed problem" and wish we could reproduce them all, but our limited space and exchequer forbids. However, the following which recently aped me in my own life, the pen of a white woman is so good, and so fair and so nearly expresses our sentiments that we are compelled to give our reader the benefit of it: "The Man and the Color. To the Man and the Color. Sir--For an indefinite period American people have been so engrossed with the perplexing "Negro problem," so much time has been spent in trying to solve it, that the intricate problems is just dawning on our minds. No Negro was ever an anarchist, and very few have stopped to lynching, two heinous but popular crimes, to picture themselves as hard to picture and more relentless a mob of hundreds of men, women and even children, who have lost all self --- control, willing to listen to no one, raving like wild beasts for their prey, after killing their victim in the most horrible manner, taking fingers, toes and anything accessible for souvenirs of their horrid work. Barbaraarians of the newspaper aunts in narratives of the work of these law breakers. Is not this a problem to be solved? Every time a president tours the country, some suspected villain is caught and found guilty of meditating these culprits. These culprits are persistent and bold—a knotty problem to be sure! And when we remember that no crime for which the Negro is so brutally killed belongs wholly to that race—that the newspaper publishes similar crimes in other races, then the lynch problem becomes harder for solution. Why should a man exult over the color of his skin, unless that color be a certain index of exalted virtues? It does not necessarily follow that his character is white, simply because he the epidermis is white. A white man filled with a prejudice so deep seated and black that will actuate him to treat a fellow man more cruelly than he would a dog, simply because his outer skin is much darker than the Negro's skin. In 1863 the white man had only to say to his brother in black: "I am your superior," and it was so, but today, in 1903, the Negro says: "Prove it by your superior qualities, by your intelligence." Some one, in deriding the Negro recently, foolishly said, "he could do nothing but pattern after the white man." Do any man or woman ever reach a high degree of eminence unless he had some high ideal? What matter whether ideal be white or black, if it be worthy of emulation? "Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime." He meant that we should read these lives and copy their excellencies. What difference does it make whether the youth take a George Washington or a Booker Washington, as long as both are worthy of imitation? Since the Indian, the only true American does not claim America, she is the real home of every race on the globe, and the Negro is as truly an American as the descendants of any other nation. When the national hymns American and African are of the same race, are heard in same patriotic chords that vibrate in other's breast, vibrate also in the black man's breast. When the cry: "To arms! the arms! they come! they come!" is heard in the land, the Negro is ready, yes, eager to shed his skin to become a credit to both country and Creator, and yet, when he loses self-control or when one deprived to the lowest crimes, he cannot, like Knapp, have a trial and be deservedly executed by the law because his skin is too weak, he should be lawfully dealt with according to their crimes regardless of color. MARY BROYLES HITCHENS. After all the blow and bluster and the killing of one of the posse of white men who took upon themselves the administration of the law in Arkansas, the white girl who was "held a prisoner by a band of eight Negroes on Bruce's Island," it turns out that the girl is the daughter of Mrs. Wm. Hicks, with her husband are the alleged leaders of the "band, Allan." The girl is in jail at Ft. Smith. Ark. The newspapers had great "scare heads" three columns wide telling the trumped up story and attempting to increase the already alarming race of the white girl who have been the prime cause of the sweep of anarchy, mob, murder aril barbarism, which has gone over the country recently by the methods they follow in making mountains out of nothing but their diabolical prejudiced imaginations. It seems that the Afro-American makes not only a good soldier so far as valor, bravery, sobriety, deportment, discipline, etc., but that he also holds his own as a marksman. In the recent rift competition in the defense of the Oklahoma atlas at the idian men's Chicago lacrosse last Monday the gold medal was won by Sergent Hawkins of the Twenty-fourth infantry who made 892 points. Corporal Coles of the same regiment took third prize, silver medal, 755 points; Sergt. Grayson of the same regiment, made distinguished marksman with 758 points. The second and fourth prizes were won by members of the Twenty-first, and Maj. Brown of the Twenty-Fourth made distinguished marksman. These successful competitors will be entered in the infantry and cavalry competition which will begin to-day. Associate Justice Brewer of the United States supreme court in an article in Leslie's Weekly in January 1915, a report of lynching has been the attacks on white women by the colored men." Mr. Justice Brewer ought to know that this statement is absolutely false. Statistics will show that less than one-fifth of the lynchings are caused by assaults on women. The New Orleans Times Democrat says: "There can be no truer democratic ideas or wealthier politics than in Mississippi to-day, and that state owes it to the primary. * * * * The political power belong of right, and any system plan trick that steals from the people and lodges it from the people and lodges it of any man or set of men is a cheat and swindle." As a matter of fact the majority of the people of Mississippi really have no voice at all in the government of the state. Three-fifths of the inhabitants, because they are Afro-Americans and poor, have been disfranchised by a "plan that steals the lives of the man and lodges it on the hands of a set of men" known as the Democratic party. Alfred W. Crawford, a florist of Meriden, Conn., has been appointed professor of floriculture and landscape gardening at Tuskegee university. This is another evidence that Prof. Washington is always securing the best course for students that can find to teach the students in his valuable institution.

"De mortis nil nisl nisi" has exerted such a profound influence on fathers' thought, light upon many of the eminent careers light upon many of the eminent careers Mr. Curtis, however, writes in a natural manner about a natural man, and does not fail to mention that he had faults, as a youth, and as a man. These faults, however, serve as a striking reminder of the character, which had been attained before his assassination. These are profuse and some of them appear for the first time in a published biography of the Great Emancipation. "Lineinel, the Leader of the Springfield War," he writes, his intellectual development, from that of the average pioneer, upward and forward, to the stifling power and force as to easily surpass in the logical presentation of his historical experience in institutions, of higher education. "The occasion upon which Lincoln displayed his "unshakeable" convention for the organization of the Republican party early in 1856.

Those who had watched the proceedings were shocked by the danger of jealousy, and Lincoln, with his acute political perceptions, realized the danger, perhaps, of assembly. He saw before him a group of earnest, zealous, sincere men, willing to undertake Titanic tasks, but at the same time most of them clung to their own theories, and undertook with a tenacity that promised to defeat their common purpose. Therefore, when he arose in response to the great orator of Springfield, his soul was flooded with a desire and a purpose to amalgamate the patriotic emotions of his people. Those who were present say that at the end of the siege, the monotele, but gradually his words grew in force and intensity until he swept the city, killing the monotele and his heathers "arose from their chairs with pale faces and quilvering lips and wounded him". His influence was irresistible. --- While not condoning Arnold's treason, he acceded to America, and shows conclusively that he four times saved the cause of the British on Island Lake Champlain (the first naval battle, by the way, in which our arms were defeated), valor, he gave the British such wholesome aid, he gave the British such wholesome aid, he gave up their plan of invasion from the north that year; second, by raising the Valley and putting to flight St. Lager's invading army marching to aid Burgoyne, the British, in the battles of Saratoga, which, confined, Cressy insisted one of the fifteen defeated. Mr. Todd also shows that it was the British officers who lost her should her reasonable correspondence with the British officers be traced, and not the cruelty his country, and not the gross injustice of Congress nor the calamities of the war described. The book is an original and unique contribution to revolutionary history. The illustrations are interesting and the images are powerful, the reproduction of an old print representing the burning of Arnold in engy, the wandered, and he was again in America, fighting his battles with Washington and the Army, and he persevered he asked that his Continental uniform of a major-general, in which he had been wounded, he had ever cherished, might be brought and put on him, with the epaulets and sword-rings he wore, and given him as the bravest of the brave. "Let me die in my old American uniform," he said, and I fought my battles. God forgive me," he added, "for ever putting on any --- THE STORY OF THE SLAVE. Slavery and Servitude in New Jersey. By Alfred M. Heston Member of the National Association of Black N.J. J. Simplonick Chew & Sons Co. Many white convicts were shipped to the colony, and many were merged into the mass of the population. An act providing for the gradual emancipation of the slaves, although New Jersey legislature in 1804. A furious New Jersey legislature in 1846, did not bring about the complete emancipation of the slaves, although Lincoln's proclamation was issued. In 1848, Lincoln's proclamation was issued. In 1850, a member of the state state legislature, introduced and passed a bill which removed the last vestige of slavery in New Jersey. The little book contains much valuable information.

"Two on Their Travels" by Ethical Columbus, with photographic illustrations by the writer is a very interesting book of the. The writer describes the out-of-the-waplaces which she visited with a style ennobled by her own experiences, a style of treatment quite unique. In the chapter called "A voyage of misery and joy," she was told the drink was worse. The universal male demand for whiskey led to the establishment of a hotel and a full label and the statement "Used in the traveler’s treatment." The commercial traveler stared thoughtfully at the label. Then adamantly showed Glasgow acent: "Whau-r did you find bottle?

This book is written along original lines, with a strong emphasis on humanity and patriotism. It is well calculated to promote good-feeling and a sense of national identity between white and black. The fact is recognized that they are neighbors—that our humanity is one and that occupies it for generations—that a mutual understanding and a mutual good-friendship is essential to achievement. The book gives an array of success in life reached by repression and oppression. It will impress the Afro-American man with the strength to fail to raise the standard and kindle the aspirations of every Afro-American man striving made by the white race. It presses the white reader with the vast strides made by the black race. This achievement is such as to win for him universal respect and good-will for the race. It is written from the standpoint of affection and good-will for the race. The Gordon, by way of introduction, whose services as governor of his state as governor of the general has won admiration and until now he has regarded a guaranite character and a purpose of the book. It is a book not only for the Afro-Americans, but for all people. Revolutions will be a source of agreeable astonishment to him. ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE The Romance of the Commonplace. By Gelet Bursage. $1.50. San Francisco. This is a volume of modern philosophy this is a volume of modern philosophy which ranks in that class of essays made famous by Jerome K. Jerome. Mr. Burkholder and one may glance at any chapter and discover many commonplace words written and describe to tell secrets," writes the author, or of the most contagious of diseases, and few of the most moral constitutions never succumb, once an epidemic begins it is hard work to recover. The page is well night irresistible. Tell your friend that a way until it dies out. But above all never confile it to her who asserts she never has time to read. The seed is a seeded in fertile ground, it will germinate and flower long after you have forfeited it and bring forth fruit you never planted." Again: "Flattery is, however, an edged tool. It is not a tool for not everyone who has the tact to decide at a glance just how much his victim will treat. The author treats of art, science and illusion as a tool for criticism, and withal, with so much of mutual interest, to render this book of unusual interest. * * * THE WORTH OF WORDS --- The Archery of Samara, By Henry Illowitz. $1.50.

"The Youth at the Fountain" is one of the poems which approach mastery of the sea. In "The sunny gleam of the fountain" the poet describes the sea. And he sees its hurried seaward Like the wretch, and as quickly gone." The poem on Hope is one of the strongest. "Men talk and dream of that better land, Home of our weary race. Ours is a glorious goal. They lead the eager chase. The world grows old and young again. Yet man hopes on 'mid toll and pain. We have frequently stated our belief that ben tillman's apparent hatred of the "nigger," as he calls him, arises from the fact that the old blatherskite is a significant member of the Republican of Springfield, Mass., in a long scientific leader establishing that to be a fact. Every one of the men who were indicted for participation in the Danville, Ill., riot were arranged Wednesday and every one pleaded not guilty. They are not only murders, but iliars as well. Jim Jeffries, the champion pugilist, draws the color line and refuses to consider the challenges of Sam McVey and Jack Johnson. Then he ought to give up the belt.
