HALLWAY IN MR. MAXIM'S RESIDENCE, BROOKLYN. VOL. 24. NO. 41. SUCCESS OF H Heroic Struggles and Distin Fulminating (By Dorothy Richardson.) Herculean in strength and physical prowess. Prometheus in sublime courage and endurance, Spartan in simplicity, Hudson Maxim, philosopher, scientist, inventor, is the hero of a tale of hard won victory over circumstances that is truly Homeric in character. Between the champion wrestler of county fairs and the discoverer of the "ultimate atom," between the callow schoolmaster of a Maine wood district and the inventor of the most powerful explosive known to science, between the barefoot and hatless boy who at nine years of age could neither read nor write, and the man who at fifty-five has, like Goethe, made practically all human knowledge his own—between each of these contrasted figures there is a wide gulf fixed. Hudson Maxim has bridged them all. Sitting on the porch of his beautiful summer home, Maxim Park, on the western shore of Lake Hopatcong, one fair September afternoon, the "fulminating philosopher," as he has been most happily called, consented then and there to tell me the romance of his success and to what, in his opinion, that success is chiefly due. After he had got good enough to teach his children, Maxim had a many interesting experiences in the Maine woods and the mountains. "The school agent of East Llivermore visited Kent's Hill, where I was attending the academy, one autumn," said fr. Maxim, "to get a teacher for the rinter term of his school. The HALLWAY IN MR. MAXIM'S big boys had thrown out three previous teachers, and he came looking for a bruiser this time. He attended the evening round-up of the students, and made a speech, telling them what he wanted and that it was no use to take the school unless the applicant was able to lick John Tolman, who he wanted and that the teacher at the last session of the school, who had been thrown through the window, sash and all, and as Mark Twain remarked upon a similar occasion, he did not need the mash, but it was handler to take it. None of the students volunteered. "Just then I came in late, and Dr. Torsey, the president of the school, said: "There's your man. He'll take your school and he can lick John Tolman. I'll guarantee." The school. When he applied to the school committee for a certificate they did not ask him the usual questions to test his educational qualifications, but felt of his muscle and asked him if he thought he could lick John Tolman. "Well, "to make a long story short, I took the school and I licked John Tolman so hard that he became my friend from that day on." After his school teaching period, Mr. Maxim entered the business and opened a business with an old school friend, in Pittfield, Mass., where his business rapidly grew to large proportions, until in 1883 the profits of the concern amounted to $50,000. During this time his firm sold by subscription nearly half a million copies of a book onnemsham, of which he and his There is a decided pliquancy about the donning of a bonnet by a young woman.

He also invented a new process of printing in colors. Forseeing the advantage of color work in the daily press, he experimented by printing one issue of the Pittsfield Evening Journal in colors, which was probably the first daily ever printed in colors. When the Maxim automatic gun, the invention of his brother Hiram, was being introduced Hudson Maxim made a special study of gunpowder, and was the first person to make submit for test any smokeless powder in the United States. He built two powder mills at Maxim's N. J., a small place named for him. one for high explosives and the other for smokeless powders. It was there that the Maxim-Schuppaus smokeless powder was developed, afterward adopted by the United States government. All common powder used by this government since that time has been made under his letters patent. He was the first to make multi-perforated smokeless powder and to recommend its use for throwing high explosives from cannon, and he was also the first to design and recommend large torpedo guns using gunpowder instead of compressed air for throwing arrows to torpedoes. In 1851, the United States government the secret of the high explosive known as Maximite, which was the first high explosive hurting charge for armor-placing projects sufficiently insensitive to be capable of withstanding the tremendous shock in the penetration of heavy armor plate. When a twelve-inch projectile from a long naval gun strikes armor plate the force of impact is about 50,000-foot tons—that is to say, it is equal to 40,000 tons falling a foot, or one ton falling from a height of 50,000 feet. The twelve-inch projectile weighs half a ton, so that the shock upon the plate is equal to that of the half-ton projectile falling from a height of about twenty miles. Maximite withstands this shock without exploding, which enables the projectile to pass through the plate to be exploded by a detonating fuse. Max- lmitte is so insensitive that melted cast iron may be poured on it without exploding it, serving merely to set it on fire, when it will burn like so much pitch. But, however, it is set off by a strong exploder made of fulminate of Quick Change. "Fer 2 cents," said the boy with the dirty face, "I'd knock ye down." "Here's de 2 cents," said the boy with ragged trousers, tossing the coins at his feet and squaring off beligerently. "Now come on an' try it, dum ye!"

It consists of a compound and 70 per cent nitroglycerine and 30 per cent of gelatinated guncotton. It has a tough rubbery consistency, and its combustion is capable of being controlled with great nicety. It is made in the form of bars seven feet in length and seven inches or six inches in diameter. These bars are sealed into a silicone tube and a bleb of being burned only from one end, where the product of combustion or flame is mixed with water by the flame blast, which forces the water through an atomizing device, converting it instantly into steam. The steam and the product of combustion together are used to drive a turbine, which drives the torpedo. Mr. Maxim has also designed a torpedo boat to be driven by this same means, and he expects to obtain a speed of from fifty to sixty miles an hour with it, even in a submerged environment, it practically invulnerable in attack. Naturally Mr. Maxim must have many hairbreak escapes, working as he does among such dangerous compounds. "In connection with the experiments with the developments of motorite I have had several pretty close calls. Motorite in a compound consisting of about 70 per cent glycerin and 30 per cent guncotton, which is combined with the nitrocarbon for forming a somewhat rubbery substance. "The first time I made this material I engaged an old nitroglycerin maker and his assistant to help me. The weather being cold, there was a roaring fire in a big barrel stove in one of the houses. My wife, who was ill, was burned by this fire. She called my attention to a big pall full of suspicious looking liquid, which she said one of the men had placed there to warm, and as he frequently returned to stir up the fire, and as occasionally a spark would light in this pail of water, she took a very thin film of water upon the top, she concluded that it might be dangerous if it should happen to be nitroglycerin.

Therefore Suspicious Strong—'Is that why you are so attentive to your wife's mother?' Defective Page nitroglycerin; one man was stirring the nitroglycerin was removed. Ten minutes after I visited the boiler house, which was perhaps fifty feet distant. There sat the same pail of nitroglycerin; one man was stirring up the furnace, while the other, spreading out as wide as possible, and interposed himself between the sparks and the pail of nitroglycerin. "The first motorite which I made was formed into round bars of the proper size by stuffing the material through a die. These rods were then varnished upon the outside surface and sealed into steel tubes, so that when a rod was ignited upon one end it could not fire down the side of the rod, but must be consumed from the exposed end only. But, as I afterward discovered, these rods were not tainted, longitudinal flaws, which, though too small to be seen by the naked eye, were still large enough for the flame to enter under pressure and cause an explosion, as will presently be seen. "When my first motorite apparatus was tested a couple of sticks burned all right, as these happened to be flawless. The next went off with a noise like a ten-inch gun. Three of us were standing around the machine and we all thought we were dead for now, but actually exploded. The material had blow out through the safety valve, slightly burning a young man who was assisting me. "I then hired another place to conduct the experiment, as the above episode had placed the machine under suspicion at the first place. I was soon again ready to repeat the test. I thought I had discovered the trouble, but I had not, for I had not yet found out that the trouble was due to the longitudinal flaws in the material. There were two of us in the room when the test was made—a young Irishman and myself. He said he was not afraid if I was not. I was not afraid if I was not to ignite the motorite. There was a flash and a terrific bang. The machine was blown to fragments, which were hurled in all directions about the room, making deep dents in the walls; but, fortunately, neither of us was hit. The windows were blown out, sash and all. I then went away from that place and built a laboratory especially for the purpose of making further test. This laboratory was built with heavy brick walls, with a skylight which opened up twelve feet square, and there were big double doors and windows and the roof was tied down strong to keep it from lifting off in the event of an accident, and provision was made to handle the door outside the room, and behind a barrier my wife and I made the next test alone. The button was pressed, and a fearful explosion followed. One fragment of the machine came out at the door, embedding itself in the barrier in front of us. "Profting by the success of this experiment, a full-sized torpedo apparatus was next made and a special laboratory built on Lake Hopatcong for continuing the experiments. After one year of hard work I was ready for the important test, and a committee of my associates were to visit me the following day for the official experiments. On this previous day I was called away to Morristown, N. J., as expert on a case in court, leaving the laboratory in charge of my assistant. While I was gone there was an explosion which killed my assistant, and I found my place burned to the ground. As my assistant was an old explosive man and a very important and a perfectly inconceivable how he—if it was he—could have produced an accident. Mr. Marxim's idea of rest is a change of work, and during the last nine years while resting from the arduous toils of his profession he has been working upon the origin and development of human speech and the "biology of literature," including a scientific unraveling of the subjects of poetry, rhetoric and oratory.

That is indeed a glorious certainty, but the reference might be enlarged.

A CHILD A MISS AIM A CHILD ACTRESS MISS AIMEE EHRLICH After looking all over the country for a young woman to play the role of the Princess in the production of "Little Nemo in Slumberland," founded on Winsor McKay's series of pictures, Messrs.

This young miss, who is only eleven WAITING FOR A FORTUNE Like many another man, Mr. Blinkey is always hoping that something will turn up. He's an intelligent man and he knows perfectly well that there, isn't one chance in seven hundred and eighteen thousand million billion that he'll ever get a dollar that he doesn't work for and earn, and still he's always hoping and thinking that something might happen. And so when he gets to his office in the morning he looks in the letter box there, not really with the expectation of finding a fortune, but nevertheless thinking that there might be something; not disappointed if there isn't, but wishing that he might find there a check for $1,000,000 from somebody or homepage, or notice of some forme that had been left to him that he was now to come and claim. It's just the same when he goes home at night. He's been away all day, time enough for forty things to happen, for forty fortunes to come in, and he knows there hasn't any come, and still it is not an absolutely impossible thing, and so he's always kind o' hoping that he'll hear some good news when he goes home. He never does, he finds everything going along there placidly; there has Every effort has evidently been made to veil the man's identity in a cloud of mystery. Three weeks' questioning brought no light—until a day or so ago. It was learned then—and the solution will settle many wagers that have been made during the season among the Wall street crowd—that the mysterious Man in Black is the man who controls the bootblack driving on the Sand Hook boats. He acts as a "spyter" among the bootblacks on the vessels and sees to it that the boys ring the bell twice instead of once. The well-guarded mystery has been solved, and the Wall street computers may once again take deep breaths.

Line In Montana Carried Through, Obstacles of a Stupendous Character Had to Be Met and Overcome. General Manager Battin of Winston Bros. has returned from a trip to Taft, where he made a general inspection of conditions pertaining to the work done on the St. Paul line. Mr. Battin unhesitatingly declares that the work is proceeding in splendid shape and is progressing beyond expectations. The work at Taft has been accomplished in face of almost unheard of difficulties and has required to carry material over the Bitter Root divide has been of a stupendous character and one requiring an amount of engineering skill almost foreign to this western country. To cross the divide and transport material over the crest of the mountain, which is 1,000 feet above the tunnel, the contractors have been compelled to deal with a number of extraordinary conditions. Every stick of timber which is to be used in the construction of trestles and bridges on the western slope of the Bitter Root mountains must be carried over the peak, and for this purpose the construction must be compelled to establish and maintain a bridge which is more than a mile long. This cable way is constructed of a cable $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter on which is suspended another cable of smaller gauge. The latter is connected with the power plant at Taft and is arranged to run on the larger cable. An elaborate arrangement of clutches and chains are attached to the improvised trolley and upon these chains is suspended the freight necessary to carry over the peak of the hill. The raise on the trolley operators is about 1,100 feet and must be carried by Taft and taut by wagons and sleights to what is known as the bottom terminus of the cable way and from this point the material is handled by the cable line. As far as the St. Paul line has proceeded through the mountain at Taft and in that vicinity, there are, all told, 20 bridges and trestles in course of construction. These structures range in height from 125 to 200 feet and from 300 to 800 feet long. The highest of these trestles make the celebrated Marent trestle, between Reid and Evaro, appear almost a piggy in proportion. Of the structures mentioned, two will be built entirely of steel and cement. The remainder will be principally of timbers. The timbers used are so large that though the Bitter Root range has upon it many immense trees, none could be found of sufficient diameter to meet the requirements and 500 caribou of this man had to be shipped from the Pacific coast. Workmen are drilling on both sides of the mountain at the Taft tunnel and it is expected the forces will meet some time during the coming spring. Every effort is being extended in this direction and a full force of men and machinery is being worked night and day.—Missoula (Mont.) Missoula. Laugh at Premonitions. Readers of stories of premonitions that tell engineers and other trainmen that danger hovers over them may be confident on beginning that the hero, no matter how dark may be the outlook, will come out alive and covered with more glory than mud or coal dust. Old railroaders laugh when they read the stories, and, like the person who always reads such yarns in the magazines and newspapers, know without going through all the details of the brakeman, whichever he might be, would save the lives of all the passengers or do something else in the hero line before the end. Railroad men do have premonitions, but the ones that fail to come out as they do in the story books are mostly forgotten, and, lacking in dramatic interest, are seldom told. 240,000 Miles for Axles. Not until the locomotive has made her second trip to the hospital, with a record of 240,000 miles, are her axles taken from the drivers and replaced. But on that second trip, regardless of apparent soundness, not a single one of these nine-inch steel axles is left keyed to the drivers. The locomotive has a distance limiting the glorious times over and the shock and jar to a nine-inch steel has crystallized the metal past trusting longer until welding and forging these shafts over again make it fit for locomotive frames. Railroad Work Pushed. The rails of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway have been laid through St. Maries, and already freight is being shipped to and from the town. The road is being rushed as fast as possible, and before spring some of the finest transcontinental trains in the world will be running through St. Maries. Besides the main line of the new transcontinental railroad, a branch road is to be built from St. Maries up to the St. Maries river and will tap the biggest belt of white pine timber in the United States.

Allen Temple is one of the finest Afro-American churches in the eity of Cincinnati, and recently Mr. Taft was escorted thither by a deputation of the ministers of the Ohio Conference of the A. M. B. Church, and made an address, from which we give a few extracts: “He was there,” he said, “to express his sympathy with the Afro-American in his struggle for better things.” “A sympathy” he said, “which I have had from the time T was a small boy, for I inherited it from my father, Alphon- 80 Taft. The Afro-American, never had a better friend than my father.” ‘The writer of this article can at- test, from personal knowledge, that such was the fact. It is pleasing to note Mr, Taft's reference to education for the race. He said: “But, while T advocate with all the energy and confidence possible the spread of primary and industrial edu- cation, I am far from minimizing the importance of opportunity for higher education for the Afro-American, The race needs leaders, and the leaders eS ae ‘ P a Rae ar pre ee a . ei ee Se ied oo a : ; ee eI. ocot Me ae Ieee cme ar re ae oa Cc: ree Se ig, ate Reems Ree aes ane Sama is ens een er HON, WILLIAM H.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BRYAN ‘The Democrats of West Virginia met in state convention recently and adopted resolutions in favor of the disfranchisement and jimcrowing of the Afro-American, And, forthwith, Mr. Bryan telegraphed his approval of the action of the convention, This was done at just about the same time that some Afro-Americans of no little prominence were trying to make ovér- tures to Mr. Bryan with a view of Gelivering to him a fraction of the Afro-American vote, and is a most convincing showing of what the race may expect from Mr. Bryan, should he be elected. Mr. Bryan well knows that thow- sands of Democrats in the south have no appetite for him, however, prepared for their digestion—baked, fried, on the half shell, or scrambled. ‘They have merely been whipped into the traces, sorely against the stomach of eheir sense. So, he must use every effort to concilate these recalcitrant elements—humble himself in the dust to keep them in good humor and pre- reent a revolt, So he dares not go even £0 far as Mr. Watterson has publicly done. Bryan so far as the Afro-American is concerned is very little better than Vardaman, DO NOT BE DECEIVED. Im certain parts of the country, the Democrats are offering inducements in order to catch the Afro-American vote. Such promises amount to nothing—they will be forgotten as soon as the election is over. Our advice to Afro-American voters is for them not to be deluded by any such baits. As Hosea Bigelow once said: “Taint a knowin’ kind of cattle That is ketched with mouldy corn.” If anybody can show, conslusively, that the election of Bryan will benefit in any way, or better the condition of the Afro-Americans, as a class, or any other class of good, law-abiding, honest, upright citizens, who believe in and live up to the pringiple that a man is a man for a’ that and a’ that, regardless of race color, creed or previous condition, we will advocate his election, Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican. candidates for Con- gress in every district; a Republican Congress is needed to uphold the President. “If the white man is not willing to meet the Negro, in any contest whatsoever, without plugging the dice, then he is not the superior but the Inferior of, the Negro.”—Ray Stannard Baker. ‘There seems to be a good deal ot truth In the above quotation but we doubt its being, by the white brother, generally accepted.

They are still enthusiastic for the old flag and an appropriation. During the next four years many cases involving the rights of the race will come before the Supreme Court of the United States. With the pos- sibility that some of the present jus- tices may be retired and thelr places flled—in the case of Bryan's election —by men of the Tillman, Vardaman John Sharpe Williams type, it is easy to infer what the decision would be. In Chicago recently a man predicted the exact hour of his death and died according to the schedule. The peo- ple of this country may be relied upon to kill Tiimanism, Vardamanism, Jeff Davisism and other Democratic isms on schedule time, November 3, 1908. ‘The old saying about consistency being a jewel is a proverb which does not appeal to the Democrats.

It is dificult, to imagine a more idiotie thing than the effort to per- suade Afro-Americans to support the Democrats. The Republican party gave the bal- lot to the Afro-American; the Demo- cratic party would wrest it from him. If you do not wish to be at the mercy of such men as Tillman, Varda- man and Heflin, vote for Taft, The Afro-Americans are doing well under a Republican administration. Better let well enough alone. Bryan's tour of the country will make many yotes—for Taft. Bryan is silent on lynching; Taft has denounced the mob. “The Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea.” CAMPAIGN JINGLES. ‘The Peerless One on his long-eared beast, Jogs doggedly on, his face toward the ‘Bast, And he shrieks as he prods that jaded mule, “Shall the people rule?

FIRST PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The first proposed amendment Is con- talned in Chapter 477 of the Laws of {oor Vay’ ehia mmandment itis sought °o Fepeal Sections one (1), two (2), three (3), four (4) and seventeen (17) of Article nine (9) of the Constitution (the latter Section being the amendment to sald. Ar- ticle nine (8), adopted in 1896), which Sections now read as follows: “section 1. All taxes to be raised in this state shell be as nearly equal as may bbe, and all property on which taxes are to'be levied shal: have a cash valuation and be equalized and uniform throughout the state! Provided, that the legislature may, by general law or special act, au- thorize’ municipal corporations to levy assessments for local improvements upon the property fronting upon such Improve- ments, or upon the property to be bene- fited by such Improvements, or both, without regard to cash valuation, and tn Ser'be: and provided further, that for the purpose of defraying the expenses of lay- ing water pipes and supplying any city oF munieipal'ty with water, the legislature may, by general or special law, authorize any stich ety or municipality, having a Population of five thousand oF more, to Tevy an annual tax or assessment upon the neal foot of all lands fronting on ‘any water main or water pipe laid by Such elty or maun'eipallty “within cor~ porate limits of sald city. for supplying water to the citizens thereof without Fegard to the cash value of such prop- erty, and to empower such city to collect any such tax, assessments or fines, oF penalties for failure to pay the same, or any fine or penalty for any violation ot the rules of such elty or munie'pality In Water rate due for thr same: and pro- vided further, that there may be by law Ievied and collected a tax upon all inher- Hanees, “devises, bequests, lecneles and gifts of every kind and description above & fixed and specified sum, of any and all natural persons and corporations.

But the lesisiature may authorize munfeipal corporations to levy and collect assessments for local _im- provements upon property benefited thereby without regard to a cash valua~ tion, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect, modify or repeal any existing law providing for the taxa- tion of the gross earnings of railroads.” This proposed constitutional amend- ment was submitted and voted upon at the last election and was declared car- ried. But a contest was instituted by In- terested partles, claiming that the amend- ment was not ‘carried. That contest te now pending in the courts and it was on that account that the legislature decided to re-submit the amendment to the peo- ple, so that however the contest may be decided, the next legislature may have the power granted by the amendment. For the purpose of discussing the effect of the amendment I will assume that the same amendment submitted at the last election, did not carry. ‘The purpose and effect of this amend- ment would be to greatly enlarge the power of the legislature with reference to the subject of taxation. Section one (2) as it now stands provides that all taxes Imposed shall be equal—as near a¢ may be—on all forms of property, and all property upon which a tax is imposed 18 required, to have a CASH! VALUATION Section two (2) as it now stands re- quires the legislature to levy the neces- sary taxes annually to defray the ex. penses of the state. That is the duty of the legislature without any constitutional direction. Section three (3) as It now stands pro- vides that all real and personal property, Including MONEYS, CREDITS and IN- VESTMENTS IN BONDS AND STOCKS, shall be assessed according to their true value In money: Section four (4) ‘as it now stands pro- vides that property employed in banking shall be subject to a tax equal to that Imposed on other property. ‘This Is only a repetition of the requirements of Bcc- tlons one (1) and three (8), a8 no ratlonal person would claim that banking capital Section seventeen (17) as it now stands Is not easy to understand, but it was in- tended by that section to.relleve from the operation of sections one (1) and three (3), above quoted, property of the classes therein enumerated, so that a gross earn= ings tax could be applied thereto Instead of direct taxation. ‘Owing to the provisions of sections one (1) and three (3) of the present Consti- tution many amendments were from time to time added so as to permit taxes to be Imposed on specific kinds of property otherwise than upon a cash valuation equalized throughout the state. We have among. these exceptions railroad gross earnings taxes; municipal frontage taxes; inheritance taxes; and the gross earnings taxes authorized by said. section seven teen Gy" Several exemptions from taxation are also provided for, but as these exemp- tions are not changed by the proposed amendment, | will make no further ref- erence to them. The amendment which, if adopted, would take the place of all of the sections and amendments above referred to, is simple and plain. "No provision of ‘the Constitution ts necessary to authorize the Imposition of the taxes necessary for the Support cf the state and its various pollt- lcal subdivisions. The power of taxation is Inherent in government. This proposed amendment declares that this inherent power of taxation shall never be surren- dered, suspended or contracted away} that taxes shall be Imposed for public Purposes and shall be "uniform on the Bante class of subjects, Should” this amendment be adopted all property of every kind In the state would be subject to taxation, according to the method the legislature ‘saw fit to adopt, provided only that the tax was levied for a pub- Ne purpose and was uniform on the same clase of subjects. Under this amend: ment every tax law we now have on the statue bocks would continue to be vaild, because under this amendment all limita: tlons on the power of the legislature would be taken away. The adoption of this amendment would, as indicated, repeal the so-called inherit. ance tax amendment, and the gros carn- Ings tax amendment adopted in 1596, 28 contained in sa'd Section seventeen (17), but in their place this amendment would give the legisinture greater ‘authority. Under this amendment the power to im: pose inheritance taxes would be, unlimit- ed, and any form of gross earnings tax would be valld. The gross earnings tax on railroads would not be affected by this amendment, as the Constitution. provides that they cannot be changed without sub- “amendment, as the Constitution provides that they cannot be changed without sub- /mitting the law making the change to a ‘Vote of the people. But with thie amend= ment varicus new forms of taxation could “be imposed, notably an Income tax, a ton- age tax on Iron ore and a registry tax on “mortgages. Under the present Const tu- ‘tion we can impose no tax on mortgages ‘Owned by non-residents, A registry tax, Which would be valid under this amend: ment, would reach all mortgages allie. While the Constitution requires all sub. Jects of taxation to have a cath valua- Bon with the tax equalized throughout the state, no proper income tax could be Imposed. SECOND PROPOSED A;iENDMENT- ‘The second proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 472 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1907. Gy this amendment it Is sought to repeal Section sixteen (16) of Article nine (9) of the Constitution, which section nov reads as feltews: “For the purpose of lending aid in the construction and improvement of public highways and bridges, there {8 hereby created a fund to be known as the ‘State Road and Bridge Fund.” Said fund shall Include all moneys accruing from the in- come derived. from investments In the internal improvement land fund, or that may hereafter accrue (ovsald fund, and shall also.

To the Voters in St. Paul You gave me a very large majority two years ago for County Commissioner.

Pretty girls, catchy music, clever dancers, excellent comedians, comfortable scenic, electrical and cosmetic effects are all to be seen with the "Strolling Players" which comes to the Star Theatre next week. Mortimer Theise the producer of this excellent burlesque has not stinted himself as to expense, as in all his efforts his one aim is to please the theater going public. He axiomatic in his approach "People that grow fat" and metaphorically speaking, the "Strolling Players" exhibit enough mirr provoking comedy to add to the avoidupoise of the most chronically thin theater-goer Defective Page J. H. ARMSTRONG R. D. O'BRIEN. One of St. Paul's Foremost Citizens Gone to His Reward. On Tuesday morning the sad news was hearded throughout the city that Mr. Harry B. Howard had died; and, although his death was not unexpected, it was none the less sad, for he was a man held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was for years and until his death that the Republican city and County Committee and several years was chairman of the 8th ward Republican organization of the 3rd precinct of the 8th ward since its formation. He was charter member of the Lincoln club, and was one of the officers of the club for years. He was president of the Minnesota Afro-American organization for many years. He had charge of the mail department of the Great Northern railroad general offices for many years and was held in the highest esteem by his employers for his efficiency and faithfulness.

His funeral was held at Pilgrim Baptist church of which he was a member and officer, under the auspices of Pioneer lodge F. and A. M. of which he was a member and representative of the Grand Council of the State were present and assisted in the ceremonies. The funeral procession headed by a brass hand was an imposing sight. The funeral services were sad and very impressive and were conducted by Rev. W. D. Carter, assisted by Rev. H. S. Graves, beautiful and appropriate solos were sung by Mrs. R. C. Minor and Mr. J. A. White. A special feature of the services was an eulogy pronounced by Mr. W. T. Francis which told in beautiful language the high character of the deceased. Quoting from the eulogy the whole story of the life of the deceased may be told in one paragraph, viz: "And, so he dies as he lived, a conscientious, consistent man; an affectionate husband; a kind and indulgent father; a faithful friend; a kindly generous neighbor; a good friend; a compassion of his race; an insulted politician—a public spirited gentleman." What more need be said of any man? The church was packed with citizens who came to pay their last tribute of respect to an honored citizen and the floral tributes were many and very beautiful. The active pall bearers were. H. Johnson, J. H. Dillingham, G. J. Charleston, Wm. England, R. C. Minor Joseph Adams. The honorary pall bearers, F. L. McGhee, J. H. Loomis, A. French, J. H. Daubins, John Dodd, J. W. Milton. T. H. Lyles, funeral director.

Frank Baum will appear next week in a novel style of entertainment which he calls a "Radio-Play" and which is described as an extravaganza in pantomime, with all the accessories of scenery and costuming, and with a large cast of competent actors; but the whole play is "projected" upon the stage through a mysterious and magical shadow box. Of course Mr. Baum's Radio-Play is a fair extravaganza and as the actors do not speak but pay strict attention to their acting, the author describes what he explains explain what is happening. Wherever there are children the name of L. Frank Baum is known and loved. Even gray beards have become absorbed in his wonderful fary tales and chuckled over their flashes of humor and philosophy. Judged by the large number of books he has written, by their enormous sale and by the clamor of children in every state in the Union for "more" Mr. Baum is easily the most popular and successful author of fairy tales ever known in the history of America.
