DEATH IN WAKE OF GREAT DELUGE 8,000 Drowned by Floods Throughout Middle West. HALF MILLION HOMELESS. Ohio, Indiana and Part of Pennsylvania suffered Most Heavily in Worst Disaster of Its Kind in History—Work of Rescue Hampered by Rising Waters. Columbus, O.-While Dayton, with 5,000 reported dead, suffered most from the floods that swept Ohio, Indiana and part of Pennsylvania, other cities were severely stricken. At Peru, Ind. It was said in reports to Governor Ralston that 500 or more lives had been lost. Columbus also suffered enormous damage from the flood. Railroad traffic was paralyzed. Fires raged for many hours and for a time threatened a considerable portion of the district. Because of the flood frenes were unable to respond to the appeals. Conditions at Indianaapolis, Fort Wayne and other places in central Indiana were the most many years. In every part of the state there were reported disastrous inundations. At Lafayette two spans of a. SCENE IN ONE OF THE FLOODED TOWNS. bridge went out. Two were reported dead. West Lafayette, where Purdue university is situated was cut off when the levees were broken by the force of the waters of the Wabash river. The river is two miles wide and rising rapidly. At Indianaapolis thousands were driven from their homes, and four deaths were said to have resulted from drowning. The pumping plant was forced to suspend operations; and the city is without fire protection. At Peru property damage of $500,000 was caused by the flood, it was reported. Logansport also was under water. Governor Ralston received a frantic appeal from Connersville, Ind., for aid for many sufferers there from the flood. It was said that the White river had broken over its banks and that that river had great loss of Runville and part of the residence section is under water. One person is reported drowned. The courthouse practically was the only dry place in the city, and it was crowded with refugees who had been driven from their homes. Cincinnati experienced a cloudburst which started the Ohio river rising rapidly and flooded many of the streets. Families in the low lands below Milford, O., were warned in time and fed to higher ground before the sweep of waters reached that place. Akron, O., burst, and horseman were hurried through the valley in different directions to warn the people of the impending danger. Hundreds of farmers with their families filed to higher ground. The great bridge over the Miami river at Middletown, O., collapsed. Fifteen persons were reported missing at that place. Several houses were seen floating down the river, which was a raging torrent. Sweeping up the Ohio valley from the west, the thick storm in ten days different sections of Louisville and Cincinnati, in Kentucky and in extensive districts in Illinois, southwestern Ohio and Indiana. At Louisville the wind maintained a velocity of skirt, miles an hour. Several persons were reported killed at Makanda, Ill., although the report could not be confirmed. A freight train was blown from the tracks of the Illinois Central railroad, and two of the crew were injured. Other cities affected by the flood and storm are: Lima, O.-Flooded by the Ottawa river. Ten miles of trains held up there by a washout at Middle Point. Springfield, O.-Mad river and Buck creek both out of their banks and several hundred houses flooded. Many factories compelled to close. Laruse, O.-Inundated. Many persons homeless and much suffering. West Liberty, O.-Mad river overrunning its banks. Fort Wayne, Ind.-St. Joseph, Man- mee and St. Mary rivers on a rampage. Town without lights and water famine threatened. Highest water in twenty years. Marion, Ind.-Five hundred persons forced to fee for their lives. Ellwood, Ind.-Three hundred persons homeless. St. Louis.-One person known to have been drowned and many families in the western part of the city forced to leave their homes by sudden rise of the Des Peres river. Broda Ripple, Ind.-One thousand feet of railroad track washed out. Youngstown, O.-Fourteen thousand men idle by reason of the closing down of mills and factories. The flood is the worst that this city has experienced in many years. At Delaware, twenty-five miles north of Columbus, from nineteen to fifty are reported drowned as a result of the flood. The town also is isolated, with the exception of intermittent telegraph service. One part of the town is cut off from the other because the river channel runs practically through its center, thus handicapping rescue work. From it is reported that fifteen were drowned when a bridge from which a crowd was watching the flood was swept away. Several bodies were recovered from the stream. Cleveland, Akron, Toledo and Springfield also have sent out reports which show that probably a total sixteen lost their lives. Because of the proportion of the flood which washed out practically every bridge of steam and electric roads leading out of Columbus, nearly all train service was annulled, and operations likely will be indefinite for several days. State troops at the oratory, Cox patrol the streets in the flooded streets and scores of automobiles are busy carrying the suffering to higher ground. It was estimated that the total deaths would reach 8,000, with hundreds of thousands homeless. AWAY WITH SHAVES AND HIGH COLLARS Chicago…When the Ohio legislature attempted to legislate against the extreme styles in women's dress it little knew what it was starting. Mrs. L. Brackett Bishop, indorsed by the Chicago Woman's club, the National Dressmakes' association, the Milliners' National organization and the Association of Commerce, announces that she intends to maintain a "bureau of correct dress for men" in Washington and try to bring about legislation against these things. High collars. Pandemonium vests. Loud neckties. The common hairbrush and comb. Derby hats. Shaves and short hair cuts. Starched shirts. "Men are becoming bald from wearing tight, stiff hats," said Mrs. Bishop. "They wear tight collars and high collars. They look binding and uncomfortable and hot. Yet their wearers declare they keep wrinkles out of the neck and prevent double chins. The neck, the ugly neck, the stiff derby, the stiff shirt, the ugly shirt, the firmmire tie and the cubist vest will all be eliminated by the committee if possible. "Men keep their faces shaved, clip off their beards and wear their hair short. Nature intended him to have his hair rolling about his shoulders. his beard protecting his Adam's apple from the chilling blast and his mustache keeping the cinders and dust from his mouth and nose. "They wear a comb should go with the drills and comb. We are organized for the protection of man and we are going to dress him right and comfortably." BITES INTO A FORTUNE Mrs. Stutz Finds $2,500 Pearl in an Oyster. Passaic, N. J.-August Stutz, proprator of a casino, is telling his friends how he got a pearl worth $2,500 through the purchase of 44 cents' worth of oysters. Stutz says his wife bought 'the oysters from a peddler. While she was eating one of them her teeth struck something hard and large and smooth, the oysters a muck pebble and was the size of a machete. Stutz says a New York jeweler offered him $2,500 for it. NOTES FROM THE NEWS. Twenty-seven quail were found starved to death in a snowdrift at Hokah, Wis.

WRECKAGE IN OMAHA. New York.-Tornadoes and destructive high winds have been of frequent occurrence in the United States in the last few years. Although these winds are commonly called "cyclones," scientists distinguish between the cyclone and the tornado. The cyclone is a widespread "low area storm" moving in an elliptical set. The tornado drops with a single burst of violence. Of these the most destructive to life and property was the St. Louis tornado, which took place on May 27, 1896, just before the time set for the national Republican convention. The damage to property in St. Louis and its vicinity amounted to close to $8,000,000, and the loss of life was estimated at more than 450. The injured numbered twice that many. During the two weeks preceding the disaster of St. Louis the southern and western states had been visited by tornadoes which demolished everything in their path. On May 15 a storm plowed its way through northern Texas, killing 200 persons and damaging property. On May 17 Kansas and Kentucky were plowed with great property loss, although the loss of life was small. Nearly every house in La Fontaine, Kan., was destroyed on May 23, and three days later eleven persons were killed as a result of a tornado at Calpri, IL. In St. Louis 720 street blocks were a mass of ruins, and scarcely a building in the path of the storm escaped injury. In East St. Louis the devastation was as great as in St. Louis proper. Fire added to the destruction, and the streets were littered with rubbish and fire department was helpless. The fire was more than $1,000,000. The dead in St. Louis numbered 202 and seventy-four missing, and in East St. Louis the dead numbered 151. There have been several other visitations of death dealing tornadoes in the United States. Two of the most fatal took place ir Adams, Miss., on May 5, 1840, when 317 persons were killed, and on June 16, 1842, a storm killed 500. Early in April, 1880, the lower towns of town of Barrine, Stone, Web, and Benton were killed life and property loss. Almost all persons were killed and 600 injured, and $1,000,000 worth of property was destroyed. Twenty-two persons were killed and seventy-two injured on April 25 of the same year in Noxubee county, Miss. On May 28 forty were killed and eighty-three injured in Fan- Tex. , and twenty killed in Potawatomi county, ia., on June 10 the same year. On July 15, 1851, 247 buildings were wrecked at New Ulm, Minn., and Aug. 23 a cyclone swept from Savannah to Minnesota, killing 400. In the year 1882 more than 300 persons were killed in various towns. At McAleran, Indian Territory, on May 10, 120 were killed. On June 17 at Grinnell, Ia., 100 persons were killed, 300 injured and a property loss of $1,000,000 sustained. On June 24 that year at Emmetsburg 100 more were killed. In 1883 the loss of life numbered ninety-three. Fifty-one lost their lives in Mississippi on April 22, and on May 18 sixteen perished at Rache, Wis. In Dodge and Olmstead counties, Minn., twenty-six were killed and eighty injured. On Feb. 9, 1884, an unparalleled series of storms struck eight states dismutually. Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina were visited by more than sixty storms. Eight hundred persons lost their lives, 2,500 were injured, and 10,000 buildings were destroyed. On Sept. 9 of that year in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin seventy-five persons were killed and $4,000,000 worth of property was destroyed. Coming down to recent times, eight states were swept by a tornado on April 24, 1908, which left a trail of dead numbering more than 300. Most of the deaths occurred in the black belts of Louisiana and Georgia, where the occupants in the debris. In Louisiana in Milwaukee 88 and 350 were injured in Milwaukee 159 dead, 600 injured; Alabama, 31 and Georgia 25 dead, 100 injured, or more than 300 in four states. On April 30, 1909, Tennessee experienced one of the worst tornadoes ever known in that state. Sixty-two persons were killed, and the property loss was almost $1,000,000. Five other states were also visited on the same day, but the loss of life was small. On May 2, 1912, the village of Korn, Okla, was wiped out and twenty-one lives were lost. On June 15 Villagoni, another small village in Oklahoma, was wiped out and four were killed. The following day the tornado tore its way through Bates county and parts of Johnson and Henry counties, Kan., and seven persons. Nearly 100 persons were killed on March 14 of the year by the storm which swept seven states. In Georgia the storm was accompanied by earth shocks, and twenty-nine persons killed. The property loss amounted to $1,000,000 or more. In Tennessee twenty-six were killed. Alabama thirteen and Mississippi thirteen. New York.--The simplified spelling board has issued a "fourth list of simplified spellings." The recommendations are comprised in thirty rules, some of which involve changes more noticeable than any hitherto set forth. Some of the recommendations in the list are: publish, formd, varius, alredy, shal, anomalus, shal,贤, alterd, preferd, executiv, characteristic, throut, definit, filologic, cald, determin, ful, we, od, clas, practic, artific, cated, anser, extensiv, catalog, anser, hav, fysicians, frend, orthografic, dout, morgage, youna, spred, previs, paragrafa, alfabet. A circular sent out by the board says of its thousands of supporters: "Allowing for the necessity and indeed desirable proportion of criticism and dout which always accompanies new proposals, we may say that this body of educated men and women, no matter in what degree they use the simplified spellings themselves, will hereafter advise teachers to teach and children to use these new spellings." The reader is urged not to be "too much influstor by the od appearance of the word. Any change must look od at first." GAS BOMBS FOR CRIMINALS. Paris Police Use Them In Capturing a Homicidal Lunatic. Paris.—A weapon for the firing of asphyxiating bombs, devised after the recent siege of the automobile bandits in their strongholds, was used for the first time in the capture of a negro who had become suddenly mad in the Anteuille quarter, threatening every one with a loaded revolver. Detectives chased the man from room to room in a house where he had taken refuge, firing gas bombs as they went. The fugitive was finally cornered on the roof of the house in a state of semisphyxiation. He was quite powerless and was transferred to a hospital. Elk For Oregon Forests. St. Anthony, Ida.—A carload of wild elk from Wyoming passed through here for Joseph, Ore. The shipment is in charge of a deputy warden from Oregon. The elk are all young, and the men in charce say they are even better than the herd received last year in Oregon. They will be placed in the big pasture in Oregon. Defective Page We Ask Too Great a Sacrifice, Says President. "THE SERVICE IS HAMPERED" Mr. Wilson Declares it is impossible For Him to Get the Men He Wants. Troubled by Repeated Refusals—Ex- pert Says Salaries Should Be at Least $25,000 a Year. Washington—President Wilson is seri- ously troubled by the repeated refusals of prominent Democrats to accept high diplomatic appointments on an- count of financial inability to maintain the positions, and he has practically appealed to the country to support him in a request that congress pay ambas- sadors and ministers enough to enable poor men to represent this country abroad. This appeal was made in a statement concerning the refusal by William Mc- Combs of the ambassadors to JOHN H. HARRIS CHARLES W. ELIOT AND WILLIAM F. M'COMBS. CHARLES W. ELIOT AND WILLIAM P. M.COMBES. France, which was based solely on the ground that he could not afford to take the place. Mr. McCombs' refusal followed that of Richard Olney and Charles W. Eliot, former president of Harvard, to both of whom the ambassadorship to the court of St. James was offered. Neither could afford to take the place. Whitelaw Reid, the former ambassador, maintained an establishment that cost him $100,000 a year. Ambassador newborn the book is post refused by Mr. McCombs, is said to be spending more than $100,000 a year in keeping up the embassy. It is known that Norman E. Mack has been hesitating about going as ambassador to Vienna because he fears it would cost too much, and it is said that H. B. Fine, dean of the faculty at Princeton, cannot make up his mind to be ambassador to Berlin, in a poor man. Representative Nicholas Longworth not long ago made a report on the subject and introduced a bill appropriating money to build embassies. It failed. The salary of an ambassador is $17,500 a year, and an expert opus a given here today by John Barrett, who has been in the diplomatic service as minister and is now director of the Pan-American Union, is $20,000 is the least that he can expend and the dignity of an embassy. Even at that figure it costs an ambassador or his salary. The following table shows what it costs to maintain an embassy at the eight posts of the ambassadorial rank: Expense. Salary. Brazil $30,000. 17,500 Austria-Hungary 17,500 France 60,000. 17,500 German empire 60,000. 17,500 Britain 35,000. 17,500 Japan 30,000. 17,500 Mexico 20,000. 17,500 Turkey 25,000. 17,500 It is regarded as of pressing importance that ambassadors to England, Mexico, Japan and Russia and a minister of the泊京 shall be a short time. For none of these posts, except that of Mexico, has President Wilson been able to find a suitable man who would accept the post. Weds "With the Grain."

Demand For Meat Shown by Big Changes in Export Figures Changes in Export Figures. Washington. The decrease in the meat supply available for exportation is illustrated sharply by the February export figures. Just compiled by the statistical division of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. They show the number of cattle exported in the eight months ended with last month as 12,556 head against 270,219 head in the corresponding months of 1907 and the quantity of fresh beef exported as 4,769,047 pounds against 175,000 pounds in the same months. That the shortage in the exportations is due in part at least to an actual reduction in the number of cattle in the United States is evidenced in fact that the total number of cattle farms, according to figures of the department of agriculture, on Jan. 1 last was only 56,527,000 against 72,534,000 on Jan. 1, 1907. Still another evidence of the demand in the United States for an increase in its cattle supply is found in the figures of the department of commerce, which show an enormous increase in the importation of cattle, the number imported into the United States in the eight months' ended with last month being 222,000 head against 125,153 head in the corresponding months of 1907. The table which follows shows for the years 1907 and 1913 the number and value of cattle on farms in the United States, of those imported, of those exported and the quantity and value of fresh beef exported, the figures relating to the eight months ended with February of the years named: Pounds exported 8 mos. 175,909,649 4,009,047 Value exported ..... 81,610,088 McReynolds Bars Lawyers Over Sixty For Federal Bench. Washington.-No lawyer of more than sixty years of age and no lawyers with large corporation and railroad connections need apply for appointment on the federal bench. This announcement was made by Attorney General McReynolds, who received delegations from Virginia and Maryland in behalf of lawyers of those states now being urged for the vacancy in the Fourth court court of the United States, composed of the states North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia. By this announcement Mr. McReynolds eliminates almost the entire field of aspirants from Maryland and Virginia. The half dozen lawyers from Virginia who are advanced for judicial honors are either more than sixty years of age or have large corporation connections. The lone Maryland, E. C. Devecemon, was eliminated because he has had no previous experience on the bench and has had no practice in admiralty courts. The Virginia delegation was stunned by the announcement. The men eliminated include Charles V. Meredith of Richmond, who is sixty-two years old; Lucen B. Cocke of Roanoke, who is division counsel for the Norfolk and Western railroad; Walter H. Taylor of Norfolk, who is counsel for the late H. Rogers' Virginia railroad; W. Leigh of Norfolk, who is counsel for the William Cosin L. R. Pollard, bared on account of the limit. Dr. Minor Lyle, dean of the Law School of the University of Virginia, is the only aspirant now in the field from Virginia who comes within the McReynolds rule. There are half a dozen judgement appointments which the president has to make. Most of them are carried over from the Taft administration and were died in the senate diluvian by the president's appointments made by Mr. Taft after his death. It is taken here that the rule laid down by the attorney general applies to all judiciary appointments that will come up during the coming four years. It will apply equally to the United States supreme court as to the district courts. Just now there is a pressing demand upon the president to appoint a chief judge to preside over the United States court of claims. The work of such a court has been retarded since the retirement of Chief Justice Peel and the refusal of the senate to confirm the promotion of Associate Justice Booth for this place. IN BED FOR FIFTY-NINE YEARS Woman Holder of All Hospital Time Records Obtained Recores Celebrates Her Birthday. Philadelphia.—Taken ill with typhoid fever at twenty-one years of age and still in bed at eighty is the experience of Miss Sybilla Schnatz, who after fifty-nine years, has just celebrated her birthday in St. Joseph's hospital. She holds all hospital time records. Since her typhoid attack Miss Schatz has been unable to move without assistance. She has been an ardent student of scientific subjects. She has a telephone at her bedside and has seen troLLers and automobiles from the window, but her greatest ambition is to see an aerial view. $2.40 PER YEAR. FORSAKES TITLE FOR LEPER'S LIFE Sir George Turner to Devote All His Time to Sufferers. HOPES TO FIND A REMEDY. Is Victim of Dread Disease Himself and Thinks There is Great Possibility of Discovering a Cure For It—To Work In South Africa and India—Has Lived In Seclusion at Exeter. London.—Although Sir George Turner is afflicted with leprosy as the result of his heroic self sacrifice as the activity among lepers in South Africa, he has no intention of abandoning his active work among the sufferers from that disease, but has decided to devote the remainder of his life to lepers. He has just offered his services to the mission to lepers in India and the east, but it is felt that there is greater scope for his work in South Africa, where he knows all the conditions, and he will probably return to that field of labor. He is full of brave hope that he may be able to do something more for his fellow sufferers. In an interview Sir George said that his treatment of lepers thus far had been on the general principles of making lepers more comfortable and retarding the advance of the disease. LEPER COLONY IN INDIA WHERE SIR GEORGUS TURNER WORKED. There was a great possibility, he thought, that some remedy might be found. "Generally speaking," he said, "people have a very erroneous idea with regard to the contagiousness of leprosy. In my opinion leprosy is usually, if not always, spread by contagion, but most lepers are not nearly so dangerous to the public as a person suffering from pithisis." Since the terrible day that he made the dread discovery that he was a victim of leprosy George has lived in comparative retirement near Exeter. He has received numerous invitations to social functions and has invariably replied: "I will come if you don't mind my being a leper." FRANCE TO SPEND $2,000,000. Wakes Up to the Trade Opportunities in West Indies. Paris.-The appropriations for improvements in the French West Indies, notably at Pointe a Pitre, Guadeloupe, and Fort de France, Martinique, in anticipation of the opening of the Panama canal amount to nearly $2,000,000, the chamber of deputies having awakened to the fact that France had made no preparation to benefit by that effort. Colonial Minister le Brun (now war minister) sent an important mission to the islands last year, and its report and Minister le Brun's energy brought about the present appropriations. BUREAU TO DRAFT BILLS. La Follette Wants Its Chief to Be Really Fit. Washington.—A legislative drafting bureau to draft or revise bills or amendments at the request of any committee or ten members of either house of congress is proposed in a bill introduced by Senator La Follette. His chief is to be appointed solely on grounds of fitness and without reference to political affiliations. "Singing Mice" For Harvard. Cambridge, Mass.—"Singing mice" are the most recent addition to the collection of rodents under the observation of Charles Coburn of the Harvard physiological department. The five rodent vocalists, all females, were found by a New Yorker who was attracted to his tool chest by sounds of high chattering that resembled more the notes of canaries than mice. Pardons Soldier Who Didn't Kneel. Madrid.—The government has canceled the punishment fistfaced on a Protestant soldier for refusing to kneel during a mass at Ferol and will publish a drafted drawn up in such a manner that a repetition of the incident will be impossible in the future. The soldier had been condemned to six months' imprisonment. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? A National Afro-American Newspaper PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY J. Q.

SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1913 The "color question," which, by the way, is attracting much more attention than it should in this country, the land of the free (?) came up at the meeting of the Mississippi Valley Suffrage conference at St. Louis, Mo. Thursday, but was promptly and fairly dealt with. It seems that at the meeting, which was held in one of the hotels, that Mrs. Victoria Haley, president of the St. Louis Afro-American Women's Club, was present at the morning session; in the afternoon she again put in her appearance. When the attention of the hotel management was called to the fact that an Afro-American was actually under the roof of the hotel, a vigorous protest was made by the hotel management, but thanks to the stand taken by Mrs. D. W. Knefler, state campaign manager for the suffragists in Missouri, and Mrs. Davis N. O'Neill, president of the St. Louis Equal Suffragist League, Mrs. Haley was allowed to remain. One of the causes of the opposition lots of people have to the equal suffrage movement is the undefined status of the "color question." Surely whatever is good for white women is good for black ones. There is a Prof. Knox traveling : round the country, who claims to have invented Mental Science. He says it will bring long life and prosperity. He say he will live 10,000 years. We don't know that we'd care to live so long, but we'd like to have the prosperity he claims may be had under mental science. If anybody thinks the Republican party is down and out, a perusal of the returns in the city election in St. Louis, Mo., last Tuesday will convince the skeptic that he has another think coming. Just think of it, the Republicans winning out in the mayoralty contest in St. Louis! In a recent address at Washington, Representative Henry M. Golddogle of New York warned the Jews of America against being deceived into believing that prejudice against their race had entirely died out in America. It is only lying dormant. LO, THE POOR JANITOR! There Are Several Things That He Refuses to Do. Chicago. — The janitors of Chicago made a declaration of independence through delegates to the Chicago Federation of Labor. The federation voted to stand behind the janitors. Here are a few of the things which are asserted to be entirely out of the scope of a perfectly good janitor's duties: Caring for the tenants' babies on the maid's afternoon off and while the "missus" is out to tea. Buttoning milady's gown down the back. Caring for cats, dogs, canaries and other household pets. Running errands to the delicatessen store on Sunday evenings. Moving planes and taking up rugs without extra pay. Mending tenants' furniture. Being responsible for forgotten keys and suffering to be routed from bed two or three times a night by late home coming tenants. One delegate said: "We have been even longer than too long. A doctor must not only be that, but a born diplomat as well, who knows how to regulate a furnace or button a woman's party dress with equal facility." OH, HE'S A COLLEGE BOY. Rev. Dr. Higgins is Over Ninety, Holds Several Degrees. St. Paul—Although over ninety years old, the Rev. David J. Higgins, for many years a Methodist minister in Minnesota, has applied for admission to Hammie university to complete a course for the degree of doctor of philosophy. Mr. Higgins is at present re- lated near Los Angeles, having re- tained from college for about ten years ago. Since going California he has been studying in connection with the University of Southern California. In a letter to President Kerfoot of Hamline, Mr. Higgins says that in spite of his advanced age his interest in phil- ilosophical matters has never diminished, and he desires to go on studying.

Addis Abeba, Abyssinia.—After three years of detention in Ghebbi Empress Tatou, the wife of King Menelik, has been granted her freedom. The rightful heir to the throne has also been granted his freedom. The crown will be in the vicinity of Addis Abeba. Empress Tatou of Abyssinia was a very interesting character, according to what information has been learned about her. Details of affairs in the African empire have been difficult to obtain and even today Europe is not quite sure whether Empress Menelik is dead or alive and still ruling his country, or definitely that the heir to the throne is not named in the person of Lig Yassu, the grandson of Empress Tatou, but whether he has taken up the reins of government is yet to be ascertained. Empress Taitou, according to a Frenchman who journeyed through Abyssinia some years ago, was a woman of the lower class, as she place rank in Abyssinia, and she was married that year. She was married many more times, and at each stage of her matrimonial career rose higher. In 1885, when the coming empress was about thirty-two years old, she married Menelik, then a king. She was a wonderful woman, and her ability was recognized. Besides, she was counted as a beauty. Later Menelik rose to the supreme step of emperor, and Taitou rose with him. Menkell fell ill at one time—in fact one of the many times that he has been ill—and while Tatou cared for him like a dutiful wife she cared on at the same time a. conspiracy, the aim of which was to place her on the throne upon the death of her husband. But many circumstances operated against her. After the Abyssinian capital, Aden from the Menkell recovered, and Tatou's grandson, Lig Yassu, whom she heartily hated, was proclaimed heir. DUCKS THE MARRIAGE Bridgeroom to Be Hides in Haystack For Thirty-six hours. Springfield. ill. After having remained in concealment in a haystack near his home for thirty-six hours and having been mourned as dead, after searchers had scoured the country for him, Medford Crulkshank, who mysteriously disappeared on the eve of his wedding to Miss Mae Hall, appeared at his home south of this city. He says he can remember nothing. It is believed he suffered temporary mental alteration, due to worry over imaginary physical lilies. His fancee received him with joy. GUARD YOUR TONGUE. To keep a guard upon one's tongue at all times is a good rule to follow. Nothing is more foolish and tactless than the pleasure some people take in "speaking their minds." A man of this kind will say a rude thing for the mere pleasure of saying, it when different behavior might have preserved his friends or made his fortune. GET FAT QUICK RECORD. Malissa Gained Over 450 Pounds in Five Months. Savannah—All get fat quick records were broken by Malissa Cooper, colored, who died at her home at Grayson Gwytney county, Ga. It took fourteen men to put her in a coffin. She weighed 613 pounds when her heart stopped beating, and the doctors say she would have been as heavy as a small elephant had she lived a month longer. Five months ago the woman apparently recovered from a serious illness, and then—she had never before weighted more than 150 pounds—she began to put on fat at the rate of almost 100 pounds a month. She could be seen to grow fatter and fatter almost from day to day. Her skin stretched and stretched, and what kept it from cracking and splitting wide open was a puzzle to the many physicians who flocked to study her strange case. The whole countryside got interested in Mallissa, and the people went to Grayson in 'droves, "just to see her grow." She grew while they waited. At the last her neck was a yard in circumference, and it was 111 inches around her waist. Why she took on such prodigious fat is a question the doctors will investigate for science. BILL FOR WOMEN POLICE Assemblyman Thinks They Would Look Well on Force. Albany.-Inspired by the demand of the suffragettes for women police. Assemblyman Lewis introduced a bill compelling the police commissioner of New York city to appoint twenty patrol women to stand on the same plane with women police. It is argued by the suffragettes, would be effective agents of the city in the fight against vice. No woman under thirty years or over forty-five shall be qualified for the job of patrol woman. They are to wear the police shields and uniforms similar in color to those of the police commissioner. They may be assigned by the commissioner of parks, dance halls and moving picture shows or to do general patrol duty to protect women and children. TO FIX EXACT TIME THROUGHOUT WORLD Four French Scientists Are Here For Wireless Tests. New York.—Four French officers have been sent by their government to determine the exact longitude between Washington and Paris. Lieutenant Ludovic Driencourt and Lieutenant de Vaisseau Gignon represent the navy, and Colonel Gustave Ferrie, the distinguished wireless expert who has charge of the Eifel tower wireless station, and Captain Paul Leveques are from the army. They were met by Lieutenant J. H. Newton. U. S. N., aid to the commandant of the New York navy yard. The Frenchmen will go to Arlington, and Washington, to make tests at the government radio telegram station, the highest point in the world. The ultimate object is to get at the exact time of day all over the world. It has been usual to send the time by cable, and this method has established the difference of time between Washington and Paris within less than a second. By flashing between the Arlington station and the Eifel tower, however, it is hoped to fix Washington time and Paris time within less than one one-hundredth part of a second. "Supposing there is exactly five hours difference between Washington and Paris," said Lieutenant Glignon, a message from Washington at noon would arrive in Paris at 5 p. m. plus the time consumed in the cable, according to perhaps a quarter of a second. "It is expected that it will be possible to determine exactly the time of asfash between Arlington and Paris. When this time is found to be, say, one one-hundredth part of a second, it will be necessary only to subtract that time from the time the message is received to know that at a certain hour at the Elfel tower it was noon in Washington. All the chief nations are co-operating, and when the tests are completed it will be possible to state definitely just what time it is in any city. NOTES FROM THE NEWS. Mrs. Albert E. Butler of Evanston, Ill., has opened a fifteen room bungalow for her pet cats. It is lighted by electricity and heated by steam, while plans have been made to cool it in summer with iced air.

THE FIVE FEMALE SINGERS A Group of Yankee Doodle Girls. That the trend of burlesque entertainments is rapidly growing more artistic is well demonstrated in the program which will be given at the Grand Opera House this week, commencing with a matinee Sunday, April 6, by T. W. Dinkins" "Yankee Doodle Girls," an organization which for the past several years has enjoyed the distinction of being one of the leaders in all that is new and pleasing in this most diverting style of amusement. As to the show generally, there can be no doubt that it is right up to the minute and a trifle beyond. There is absolutely nothing in it but that is of the vintage of 1913. A well-known author has written the two pieces which are presented entitled "The Piano Movers" and "Pat, the Porter." The cast of principals is a very strong one and includes Burt Jack, Irish comedian; Gloria Martinez, prima donna; Frank Rice, soubrette; Lew Williams, Joe Mills, Henry H. Young, Jack Fox and Joe Evans. Between the two funny burlesques will be given an olio of merit with the following numbers: Fox and Evans, emperors of the dance; Williams and Mills, the two real Hebrews, "In the Alps"; Young and Rice, a fascinating duo, and last but not least, the real special feature of the performance, dainty, dashing Marie, considered the cleverest woman in burlesque today, and who captivated the entire burlesque world last season.

This means you! HOT TIME FOR DELINQUENTS We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subscribers what a hot time they will have if they fail to pay their newspaper bills. The same fate awaits our slow-paying advertisers: "An editor who died of starvation was being escorted to Heaven by an angel sent for that purpose. "May I just glance in at the other place before we ascend to eternal happiness?" So they went below and skirmish around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of the editor and went around Hades hunting and killing him, sitting by a monstrous furnace, fainting himself and gazing with rapture from a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over the furnace was a sign bearing the words, "Delinquent subscribers" editor, "I'm not going. This is heaven Come," said the angel, "we must be going now.' 'You go on,' said the enough for me," HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Typhoid Inoculation. These are the advantages of typhoid inoculation, as declared by the secretary of the Massachusetts board of health: "By the administration of typhoid vaccine a person is rendered incapable of undergoing the tortures of the disease and also of being a distributing agent of the germs. Dead germs of typhus are suspended in a saline solution and injected in the human system by vaccination. The only ill effects following the treatment are (occasionally) a dull headache, a lame back and soreness about the wound made by the vaccination process. Within a few days all traces of inconvenience are ended. The subject is immune to typhoid. It is a truly wonderful discovery. It is really not new, for the United States troops on the Mexican border during the late unpleasantness in Mexico were all treated—12,000 of them—and not one had typhoid, except a teamster, who was not inoculated with the vaccine." Lacking In Humor Little Robbie was entertaining Mr. Geezeley while Miss Tripperson was upstairs adjusting her back hair and giving her face a few final dabs with the powder puff. "My sister says you ain't got no idea of humor," said Robbie. "Jist after you was here the last time. She said she seen you lookin' at yourself in the mirror several times and you never laughed wunst."—Cleveland Leader. Antiquity of Tennis Among all the popular games of today none perhaps is of greater antiquity than tennis, for it is said to have originated in the ball games of the ancient Greeks and Romans. In the first place the ball was struck by the hand, later on heavy gloves were worn or cords strapped around the palm, and the racket was contrived during the fifteenth century.
