SOCIAL SEASON IN WASHINGTON Aftermath of the Recant Election Makes Things Rather Quiet In Official Circles—Henry Lincoln Johnson to the Fore—Miss Price Makes Record in Census Office. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Among the official set in Washington there is not as much activity as there was prior to the elections. At that time the Republican congressional committee availed itself of the services of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, and arranged for him a JUDGE R. H. TERRELL. whirlwind campaign trip which covered several states and which lasted up to the very eve of the election. Mr. Johnson's trip was productive of good results, for it is a matter of fact that the Republican congressional candidates in the New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia districts in which he spoke were successful at the polls. Part of Mr. Johnson's trip was made in a big white touring car, thereby making the trip modern and picturesque as well as effective. The other members of the so called "black cabinet" were not, to any extent, engaged in the public speaking part of the campaign. Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon spoke only in New York state, while Auditor For the Navy Ralph W. Tyler was engaged in an advisory capacity in directing the colored end of the campaign in Ohio. Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court now has a young colored man as his clerk. The fortunate young man is George H. De Reef, a young lawyer, who has all along been "acting" clerk in Judge Terrell's court. Mr. De Reef is a graduate of both the college and law departments of Howard university. The deputy United States marshal in Judge Terrell's court is also a member of our race. He is W. H. Conn, who fills that position with much credit. Editor Slaughter In Charge: Henry P. Slaughter of the government printing office has resigned his lucrative position with Uncle Sam and has assumed his duties as editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal at Philadelphia. Mr. Slaughter is an experienced newspaper man as well as a practical printer. Before going to Washington he was in newspaper work in Kentucky, his MISS EVA P. PRICE. native state. He kept up his newspaper work while in Washington, being a member of the staff of the Record, a daily coated newspaper published in the nineties. At the last session of the biennial movable committee of the Grand Unified Order of Odd Fellows held in Bali MINNEAPOLIS Ames Lodge of Elks will hold Memorial Services at St. Peter's A. M. E.

Lewis of St. Peter's is taking active interest in the Church work and there is more than heretofore "a spirit of enthusiasm" in the church workers. He will present at an early date his Church Bulletin. Mrs. Daisy Walker-Booker gave an interesting talk to the people of Minneapolis at St. James Church on Sunday afternoon.

Washington is to speak before the Chicago Sunday Evening Club, on Sunday, December 4th, at Orchestra Hall, at 8 o'clock, and on the following afternoon, Monday, at four o'clock to the faculty and students of The University of Chicago. Principal Washington has only recently returned, as our readers know, from an extended trip through Europe, where he has been looking into the condition of the laboring classes in some of the larger European cities and also in the rural districts of Southern Europe, from whence the larger proportion of the immigrants to America now come. His purpose in making this trip was to compare the condition of the laboring classes in that part of the world, in respect to their opportunities and general advancement with the masses of the Negroes in the Southern States. It is expected that in some degree in his address he will touch upon this trip; he is however, restricted from going into detail regarding any comparison between the races by reason of the fact that he is under contract with the Outlook Magazine, of New York, to prepare a series of "On the Man Farthest Down." The first of this series of articles will shortly appear. He will also speak upon the subject of Some Results of Negra Education in the South. In connection with his trip to Chicago it is expected that Principal Washington will speak at several points in the vicinity of Chicago to congregations of colored people. THE MAPLE LEAF CLUB.

Jury Finds John Jones Guilty of Manslaughter. After being out for an hour and a half, the jury in the case of John Jones, a negro, on trial for the killing of Roy Jeffries, also a negro, 55 Holden street, on the night of Sept. 18 in a pool room at 725 Washington avenue south, returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the first degree. Taking into consideration the desperate character of the defendant, the weapon used, the fact that nearly all the witnesses testified that he had his weapon ready for use and threatened to use it, before the affray: the fact of his subsequent flight, and resistance to the officers, and their testimony against him, Jones has the right to be thankful for the able and earnest efforts put forth by his counsel to save his neck, as he was indicted for murder in the first degree, and the Court charged for murder in the first and second degrees, and for manslaughter in both degrees, and acquittal. Attorney's Geo. H. Jackson and Wm. H. H. Franklin appeared for the prisoner. He was sentenced by Judge Holt on Saturday morning, and was immediately taken to Stillwater by Deputy Sheriff John H. Allison. NOTICE. Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 1, 1910.

GOTHAM'S HUGE TERMINAL OPEN Depot Is Largest Building Ever Constructed and With Train Yards Cover Twenty-three Acres—Electric Motors Three Times as Expensive as Steam Locomotives Are Used. One minute after midnight on Nov. 27 the Pennsylvania railroad opened its mammoth terminal on Manhattan Island to all trains. Those of the Long Island system had used it, but never the through trains to the west and south. Work on the Pennsylvania station was started May 1, 1904, so that practically six years and seven months were consumed in making the excavations for the foundation of the building and in constructing it. To clear the eight acres of ground occupied by the station meant the razing of some 500 buildings, among which were a number of churches. The area of the station and yard is twenty-eight acres, and in this there are sixteen miles of track. The storage tracks alone will hold 386 cars. The length of the twenty-one standing tracks at the station is 21,500 feet. There are eleven passenger platforms, with twenty-five baggage and express elevators. The highest point of the tracks in the station is nine feet below sea level. Dimensions of Terminal. The station building is 784 feet long and 420 feet wide. The average height above the street is 69 feet, while the maximum is 156 feet. To light the building it takes about 500 electric area and 20,000 incandescentes. More than 150,000 cubic yards of concrete were required for the retaining walls, foundations, street bridging and the substructure. There are 650 columns supporting the station building, and the greatest weight on any of these is 1,658 tons. The stonework of the station was completed on July 31, 1909. To inclose this vast area necessitated the building of exterior walls aggregating 2,458 feet, nearly half a mile, in length and has required 490,000 cubic feet of granite. In addition to the granite the construction of this building has called for the use of 27,000 tons of steel. There have also been set in place some 15,000 bricks, weighing a total of 48,000 tons. The first stone of the masonry work on the building was laid June 15, 1908. The entire masonry was thus completed in approximately thirteen months after the work was begun. Description of Tunnels The river tunnels leading to the station are, all told, 6.8 miles long, and the land tunnels have the same length. From the Bergen bill portal in New Jersey to the Long Island entrance of the tunnels is 5.3 miles. It is 8.6 miles from Harrison, N. J., to the station in New York, while from the latter point to Jamaica the distance is 11.85 miles. The maximum capacity in trains per hour of all of the Pennsylvania tunnels is 144. The initial daily service will consist of 289 Pennsylvania and Long Island trains. Protective devices abound in the yards and tunnels. Every so often through the long length of the tube signal lights are seen. If an engineer attempts to run by one of these signals when it is set his train is stopped automatically by the shutting off of his current. At each signal is a telephone, to which the conductor has the key, that connects with the main signal station. When the signal station has released the train may it proceed upon its way. Forty powerful motors operate the trains over the electrified system. Each one is twice as strong as a steam locomotive and cost over three times as much. They were built at the Altoona shops of the railroad and equipped with Westinghouse motors for the sum of $50,000 apices. INDIAN TREATY AS EVIDENCE Government Uses Ancient Document In Riparian Lawsuit. A treaty with the Indians of Chicago and vicinity, made in 1795 by General "Mad Anthony" Wayne, was introduced in evidence before Special United States Commissioner Neil Satterlee in the taking of testimony in the government's suit to enjoin the construction of a dam at Dresden Heights, Ill. The treaty was explained by Professor Alverwah of the University of Illinois. "It gave the government the right to use the Chicago, Desplainer to the portage to the Illinois river," he said. The government is seeking to prove that back in the fur trading days the Desplainer river was used as a navigable stream. ST.

Western North Carolina Conference, the Most Important Body of the A. M. E. Zion Connection, Given Some Sound Advice by Presiding Bishop. Interests of the Denomination. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING From the reports of the ministers representing over 20,000 communicants at the twentieth annual session of the western North Carolina conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion denomination, recently held in the new commodious brick church of the connection in Statesville, N. C., the success of the denomination during the past year has been unprecedented. Bishop George W. Clinton, D. D., presided over the conference. The personality of this noted prelate and race leader and the true development of every facility for proper advancement have made Bishop Clinton a potent factor in the progress of the race along many lines. This is the leading conference of Zion's denomination. Within its borders are found Livingstone college, its leading institution, from which every year it gives its quota of thoroughly prepared young men and women. The publishing house of the denomination in Charlotte, N. C., was erected this year at a cost of $15,000. A pertinent feature of the conference was Bishop Clinton's annual address, in which he eloquently enaptured his audience by uncompromisingly asserting himself for the good of the race. Bishop Clinton spoke in part as follows: "While we should be concerned about the nation's welfare and should contribute as much as possible to its general betterment as well as to the good of the local community, there are some matters of special interest to us as a people." "The inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the constitutional privilege of exercising the franchise, the opportunity to labor so that we may secure sufficient means to provide a decent living for ourselves and our families, the privilege of enjoying the benefit of a free school system that furnishes adequate primary training for the youth of our race and the impartial rights promised by just laws fairly administered are matters about which every Negro should deeply concern himself. "Furthermore," he said, "our government has put a premium upon and in a measure inspired civil prejudice and its concomitant evil consequences by making color rather than character and fitness the condition upon which men shall hold offices of trust and responsibility in certain sections." Bishop Clinton enunciated with especial vigor that "neither lily whitism, the dental of office holding to colored men in the south nor the giving of a few offices to prominent Democrats at the expense of old line Republicans can be depended upon to break the solid south and get support for a discredited administration and a divided party. "The colored man has at last learned that he, like other thoughtful citizens, must use his vote to the welfare of the community and state in which he lives rather than to blindly follow a party that used to his own hurt and against his best personal interest its power." For harmony and ability to do business and good reports for every department of the church the conference was a splendid example of religious progress. Send your notes to this office, if you wish them inserted, write plainly. Demanding that the garment workers' strike, which is causing great suffering to citizenz and loss of business, be brought to a "just and lasting settlement," the city council of Chicago adopted a resolution for the appointment of a committee to bring about a conference of the manufacturers and strike leaders.

Lord Rosebery, in the course of a speech at Manchester, said: "The house of lords has ceased to exist; it has surrendered its powers to the nation. This is a fact of enormous importance." Lord Rosebery admitted it was death-bed repentance, but he contended that deathbed repentance, if sincere, was valid and valuable. Mr. Balfour's adoption of the referendum is generally attributed to pressure from an influential section of Unionist free traders, led by Lord Cromer, although it is acclaimed by the bulk of the Unionist party, once their surprise was over, as a master stroke of skillful electioneering. The opposition leaders' change of tactics took the older Conservatives completely aback and caused consternation among the ardent Protectionists. The officials, on the other hand, characterised them as a sloppy slipperness and opportunism. The Liberal leaders, who were surprised equally as much as the Conservatives, have not yet had time to adjust themselves to the chaned conditions. Referendum Expensive. David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer, at speaking at Llandirde Wells, reiterated that the cost of a referendum would be $10,000,000. It was a mere device, he said, to put a more effective weapon in the hands of the wealthy classes. The Liberals would have none of it. Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland, speaking at Bristol, said that Mr. Bafour's proposal of the referendum was delusive, dangerous and unworkable, and calculated to destroy free representative government. The home secretary, Mr. Churchill, addressed two meetings at Sheffield. He said that no day passed without some Tory leader overthrowing some ancient principle of the Tory party. Nothing was more astonishing in this wonderful election than the panicle which had overtaken that once proud and unassailable Mr. Churchill was again subjected to suffragette disturbances, several unruly persons being ejected from the hall. The flood of election oratory is unabated, but it consists mainly of a repetition of well-worn arguments. The Ulster movement is growing apace throughout the province. The Ulstermen have taken a strong stand against home rule, and the offers of subscriptions to a fund which is to be devoted to the purposes of organizing a regiment and purchase or arms have risen from $5,000 to $120,000 in the last two days. The London Unionist morning papers for the first time are full of confidence of a Unionist victory at the polls as a result of Mr. Balfour's acceptance or the referendum. Lord Cromer publishes a letter stating that Mr. Balfour's clear declaration should remove all hesitation from the minds of the doubling free trade Unionists. The stock exchange reflected the belief in a Unionist victory in the rise in prices of consols and home securities, and the veering of betting in favor of a Unionist majority. MARK TWAIN LAUDED Notables Gather To Discuss Greatness of Late Humorist. New York, Dec. 1.—The intellect, the power and the wealth of the land gathered at Carnegie hall to pay tribute to the memory of Mark Twain, whom the world loved because he made it laugh. William Dean Howell presided. Uncle Joe Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives, and Champ Clark, the speaker that may be, spoke from the same platform. Dr. Henry Kingston, of Princeton, Bloody Kingston, J. Pierpont Morgan, John Luther Long and many others were among those invited. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Academy of Arts and Letters. Fighter Jem Mace is Dead. London, Dec. 1.—Jem Mace, the hero of many prize fights, died at Harrow-on-Tyne of old age. He was in his seventy-ninth year. Mace was at one time worth more than $1,000, 000, but of recent years he had been dependent on friends. "Frisco Daily Paper Suspends, San Francisco, Dec. 1.—The San Francisco Sun, a new one-cent Democratic daily, the first number of which appeared on Sept. 3, suspended publication. Woman's Place In Life. Lady Hope thinks a woman who helps her husband with his business is the ideal helpmeet. "A man's two ambitions," says she, "are his home and his career. His home is often the making of his career, if he has a tacful, restful wife of a cheerful and happy disposition. I cannot help thinking the ideal woman should be true to the first pattern. She must be a helpmeet to the man. 'It is not good for a man to live alone,' were the initiatory words DEFENSE OF STATE RIGHTS 18 LED BY NORRIS. Louisville, Dec. 1.—New nationalism, in so far as it affects conservation of natural resources, was denounced by executives of three states and upheld by Governor Neel of Mississippi at the conference of governors here. Governor Norris of Montana, started the denunciation when he said that nationalism" was originated in the eastern resources had been wasted, so easterners could reap the benefits of what the west still had. Aside from a comparatively brief session the second day of the conference was given over to accepting more of Kentucky's hospitality. The visitors had been in town little more than an hour when a luncheon was given. The afternoon session was cut short so they might attend a reception and the executive session at night was again abbreviated for another reception. Business of this session was transacted in evening dress with wives and daughters of the governors waiting to be escorted to the night reception. It was decided at the executive session that the next conference will be held at Spring Lake, N. J., the first Tuesday in September, 1911. After Governor Norris, at the afternoon session, had said the idea of the federal government reaping benefits of the west's natural resources was a selfish one on the part of easterners and that the states could best care for themselves in this respect, Governor Shafroth of Colorado, gave his version of new nationalism. He said monopolies could be controlled easier by state legislatures than by congress, and that new nationalism and the idea of greater centralization of power was advocated for political reasons. States' Rights Upheld. Governor Sloan of Arizona, said the states could best and should control water rights and public lands although he said the recently completed irrigation work, done by the government, in his territory, was beneficial. When these states' rights ideas had been expressed Governor Noel of Mississippi spoke in no uncertain terms in behalf of the federal control of resources. He based his ideas on the fact that the union was one great family and that this would help the state. This fact that Mississippi once had wealth in natural resources, but through mismanagement by state officials the commonwealth now gained nothing from its extensive forests. Governor Hadley in his address on "Employers' liability and workmen's compensation," suggested that a committee of governors be appointed to draft a bill on this subject to be presented to all legislatures. No action was taken. The governor's system of proving negligence was almost barbarous and that it was a matter for the states and not the federal government to handle. DARROW PROBE$ DEITZ CASE. Intimates He Will Serve in an Advisory Capacity on Side of Defense. Milwaukee, Dec. 1.—Clarence Darrow, Chicago's noted labor attorney, came to Milwaukee to confer with those in charge of the defense of John Deitz and family with a view of taking charge of the case. After being closed three hours with Clarence Deitz, Attorney William B. Rubin, who has charge of the defense, and members of the defense committee, he announced that he had not come to a conclusion as he wanted to become more familiar with the facts. He intimated that he would serve in an advisory capacity if pressure of other work would permit when the case is taken up. "I came to Milwaukee at the request of those who are interested in the Deitz family case, but have not decided as yet to become connected with the defense." He said at Hotel Pfister after the conference: "I learned quite a little about the affair and would like to take active charge if I had time. Pressure of other business makes it impossible at present, but I expect to become more interested later when the trial takes place." Aroused for Breakfast; Falls Dead. La Crosse, Dec. 1,—"I'm so tired, let me sleep," is what Nels Thompson said when a friend tried to arouse him for breakfast. Before the friend turned away his body twitched, he sat bolt upright, and fell back dead. The coroner pronounced it heart failure. Thompson was en route to his home near Viroqua, after visiting relatives at Peterson, Minn. Illinois Town Is Burned Mount Vernon, Ind. Dec. 1.—The village of New Haven, Ill., was destroyed by fire.

Today, though thousands of years have passed by since then, the same motto holds good, and men who have the truest views of life and its responsibilities will be found to concur in it. Woman finds her greatest rewards in life by maintaining her rightful position—that is, by being a good mother a good daughter and a good sister, and, above all, a good wife. Could anyone estimate her influence too highly if she fills these positions well." So Bays Willie Keeler, One of the Best All-Around Players Ever Seen on a Diamond. BY WILLIE KEELER. (Copyright, 1919, by Joseph R. Bowles). The study of batting and of batters has done more for me in winning games and helping the team win than anything else. I want to be near where the ball is hit, father than to have to make a hard catch, perhaps lose the ball entirely or catch it too much out of position to make a throw. Naturally, through long experience I know where batters hit any given kind of pitched ball, but the modern game changes so rapidly a fielder has to enduring all the time to keep up with it. The batters change their styles sometimes in a few days, and I have seen many players misplaying the batter who has changed his direction of hitting. In order to keep up with the game I read and study the scores every morning to see how each man is hitting and the general direction of his hits, and I take into consideration the pitchers against him he has been batting. At the end of the week I get all the scores in some sporting paper and take each man separately and go through all the games to study his batting. In that way I generally know just what each batter is likely to do, and I play for him accordingly. The study of fielders by batters is almost as important, especially for fast men who can hit toward certain points. Indeed, I think this is one of the most neglected points in baseball. No man can hit a ball to any point he wants to, but many can accomplish it at the same times. When at bat or on the bench I study the positions taken by the opposing players, and very frequently Y Willie Keeler. it is possible to catch a player out of position or pull him out of position and hit into his territory. Pulling a third baseman in by pretending to bunt and then poking the ball over his head or hitting it fast past him has won many games. My goal is to outfielders is to learn to catch a ball in position and always to plan out plays in advance. The moment a runner reaches a base plan what can be done on any given kind of batted ball, and figure what the runners are likely to do. Get to the point where the batter is most likely to hit, catch the ball as nearly in position to throw as possible and, last and most important, get the ball back to the infield as fast as you can. EVANS AIDS GOLF MOVEMENT Champion Suggests Western Intercollegiate Body—Meeting be Called to Form Organization. Western Open Champion Charles Evans, Jr., of the Northwestern University is at the head of a movement to form a Western Intercollegiate Golf association, similar to that in vogue among the eastern universities. With Evans in the plan are Kenneth Layman and Harry Klimbark of Chicago, who are at Wisconsin; Phil Stanton of Grand Rapids, who is at Michigan, and Lynn Johnson, who is at Minnesota. An invitation to Chicago, Northwestern, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota to send representatives to a meeting will be extended the main difficulty being to find a convenient time for all to be present. At this meeting the organization will be launched, as enough promises of support have been received to warrant making a start. It is purposed to have an individual championship and a team championship the same as in the east, and the promoters hope the Western Golf association can be persuaded to donate prizes for both events. Nelson In Hard Draw In one of the hardest battles ever seen between lightweights in San Francisco Battling Nelson, former champion, and Antone La Grave of San Francisco fought a fifteen round draw the other night. Nelson came back apparently as good as ever and forced the fighting every step of the way. He was met half way at every stage of the battle, however, by the husky Frisco lad who seemed to give as good as the Dane could send throughout the mill. The bout was fast from the start and the men never slowed down as the fierce work continued. [BASKETBALL] Nurse-Hivina!

One of the most serious is the use of perfect baking powder the housewife can derive as much economical baking and cooking. In selecting the baking powder, therefore, care should be taken to ensure that it tains its original strength and always remains the same, thus making the food more wholesome and producing sufficient leavening and baking light. Of this leavening aid is produced by the cheap baking powders, making it necessary to use double the strength primarily required to secure good results. You cannot experiment every time you use baking powder, so strength of your baking powder to find out how much of it you should use; you should do this for they are put together so carelessly they are never uniform, and strength varying with each can purchased.

Hardly a Compliment In the excitement of the moment public speakers often say the opposite of what they mean to convey, and "when Henry Irving gave a reading in the Ulster hall, in 1878," says Bram Stoker, in "Personal Reminiscences of Henry Irving," "one speaker made as pretty an Irish bull as could be found, though the bull is generally supposed to belong to other provinces than the hard-headed Ulster. In descanting on the many virtues of the guest of the evening he mentioned the excellence of his moral nature and rectitude of his private life in these terms: "Mr. Irving, sir, is a gentleman what leads a life of unbroken blemish." A Garden of Friends One of the prettiest corners of a certain girl's garden is that in which every plant has been the gift of some special friend. The sweet old-fashioned flowers that bloom there have thus a double significance, and their owner persuades herself that while they flourish she may be very sure that she is not forgotten. A fragrant clump of pinks was set in place by the school teacher, and that this friend is living abroad she likes to think that every breath of perfume brings her a kindly thought of her old chum. A garden of friendship is a pretty fancy, and one that gives lasting pleasure. It Revolted Him. William Loeb, Jr., at a dinner in New York, referred with a smile to the harsher penalties, even to imprisonment, that are now to be inflicted upon smugglers. "They take it hard, very hard, these smugglers," said Mr. Loeb. "Revolted at the size of their fines, they make me think of George White, the chickeer." "What! George shouted reproachfully on hearing his sentence. 'What! Ten dollars for stealin' that chicken? Why, judge, I could 'a' bought a smarter hen for 50 cents!" Dr. Emdee—You should eat meat very sparingly. Mr. Joax—I avoid it altogether. I eat nothing but lunchroom ham sandwiches. NEWSPAPERS TAKING IT UP Metropolitan Dailies Giving Advice How to Check Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble. This is a simple home recipe now being made known in all the larger cities through the newspapers. It is intended to check the many cases of Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble which have made so many cripples, invalids and weaklings of some of our brightest and strongest people. The druggists everywhere, even in the smallest communities, have been notified to supply themselves with the ingredients, and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain them. The prescription is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce, and Compound Syrup of Saraparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Recent experiments in hospital cases prove this simple mixture effective in Rheumatism. Because of its positive action upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys, it compels these most vital organs to filter from the blood and system the waste impurities and uric acid which are the cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them and removes quickly such symptoms backache, blood disorders, bumper weakness, frequent inflammation, painful scalding and dislodgement. It acts as a broadly regulator to the entire kidney structure. Those who suffer and are accused to purchase a bottle of medicine should not let a little inconvenience interfere with making this or have your drugstool do it for you. Somebody's Baby Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press Mrs. George Congdon had run into Philadelphia for the day to visit her mother. She had brought with her her girl baby, ten months old, and had been accompanied by her husband as nurse girl. His business was in the city, and at five o'clock he would call for and take her home. Mr. Congdon was a young man, but he understood babies. He knew that they should be held head downward —that they should be given a fatherly finger to bite when they cried, and that tickling the bottoms of their feet when they had the colic was a certain cure. That was the finest baby in the state of Pennsylvania. The father, the mother, the grandmother, Aunt Ethel and all the neighbors at the Congdon suburban home said so. Realizing, young as she was, that she would be kept awake at night when her sparking days came, she got as much infant sleep as possible. Mrs. Huntington, the grandmother, had very little to do with the baby. It was her duty to recommend sage tea and catnip mixture and mild mustard plasters and to declare that the baby looked just like its father. Having done this, her duties were ended. Ethel Huntington, Mrs. Congdon's only sister, was nineteen years old. She was not to blame for being an aunt at that age. Some of the girls poked fun at her, but she was loyal A man in a coat and hat is handling a newspaper in a train carriage. A woman in a hat stands behind him, observing the scene. Smiled at the Man Bending Over it. to the child. She characterized it as the nicest, sweetest, brightest, handsomest, darlingest thing ever born, and if she could have kissed it offenser she would certainly have flattened its nose. Mrs. Congdon and baby were duly left at grandma's and duly welcomed. The infant was kissed, toasted, hugged, flattered and talked to, and the day passed without calamity. Along toward five o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Congdon telephoned that his firm had given him an errand to do, and that the wife must make her way home alone. This brought Ethel to the front. She would not only accompany her sister to the depot in the taxi, but take the train home with her and hold that "darlingest" lap all the way. It was settled at once that she should be the program, and at a certain hour it was carried out. That is, the two ladies and the young prodigy were landed at the Chestnut street depot twenty minutes too late for one train and thirty minutes too early for another. The ladies' waiting room, of course, was the only place left to them. After ten minutes Mrs. Congdon wait out to buy a ticket for Ethel, having her own return in her purse. She met friends and stopped to chat—the history of the baby had to be told. She was proud of the opportunity to tell it. Time was passing and Aunt Ethel became impatient. More time passed, and she became alarmed. She picked up the sleeping baby and walked out into the general room to find her sister. Just then a young man waiting for a train fainted away. Some said it was a case of love, and some that he had a weak heart. A crowd gathered. Just then somebody said the depot was on fire. He lied about it, but his object was praiseworthy. He wanted to add to the excitement, and he certainly did. Young Aunt Ethel was impetuous and excitable. Down went baby on a vacant seat, and away rushed the A Case of Pity Misplaced A good many books and plays are based on the idea of a man's taking up a line of thought or action and sticking to it long enough to carry it through. But working toward such a olmax demands a rigorous consistency that may not be true to nature, for see from a concrete example how real life slews us round. Here is the case of a man who was drugged and robbed of his life's savings. He pursued the offender for months, over hundreds of miles, caught him and secured his conviction and imprisonment. A well-executed piece of vengeance, you say; a public duty handsomely performed. But no; the avenger weakens, turns tall, back-pedals or whatever you like, and is now working as hard to get the criminal pardoned as he once worked to get him jailed. Such a lack of consistency and continuity is, of course, rudulous to a well-rounded plot. Clearly, there is always the risk that stated vengeance may produce a revulsion of feeling and that insti* may be elbowed out by caretaker. She spent ten minutes looking at the young man and rushing around to find where the fire was, and was then taken by the arm by her sister and rushed for the train, and they were hardly aboard when the wheels began to move. They had found a seat when they suddenly missed something and cried out in chorus: "My stars, but where is baby?" If Miss Ethel Huntington hadn't been excited when she laid baby down she might have noticed Paul Ashley sitting close by. She would have pronounced him a young man of about twenty-three, very good-looking, dressed and a gentleman. She could be figured, that he was there to take a train to where he had to guess that he was still coming. Yes, he sat there, and he saw baby dumped down and knew that the excitement had called its attendant away. He moved one seat nearer the infant, instead of three seats further away, as many a young man would have done, and he said to himself, referring to Miss Ethel: "She isn't the mother, or she'd never have done that, and she's too good looking and well dressed for a nurse girl. Couldn't have brought the kid here to abandon. Not old enough to be so hardened. Probably come back in five minutes. Ha! There she goes for the train with another lady! Clear case, and the kid goes to a foundling home!" But it didn't. It awoke and smiled at the man bending over it. He smiled back. Then a woman came up and blushed and laughed and said: "So the minx played a game on you?" "If you want to hand it back on her I can help you," continued the woman with the same sarcastic smile. "There was another woman with her, and she went away to buy a ticket for Blankville, twenty miles out. That's where they have gone together." "And that's where I'll follow," said Mr. Ashley. "I think I can get it there all right." "Sure. You are a young man of spunk. It has a nursing bottle here, and if it cries, you feed it." When the baby was missed by its mother and aunt the train was under full headway. The railroad company doesn't stop and back up its trains for lost babies. The only way was to get off at the first station, seven miles out, and send a telegram to the depot master and follow it by the first train. Another telegram was sent to the father. Mother and aunt headed to the city and rushed up and drowned, deprived. They found plenty of babies, not the baby wanted. After twenty minutes of the greatest anxiety, and after Miss Ethel had pointed out the spot ten times over where she had laid the infant down, an old man who explained that he was going to Montana whenever his train came along, added: "Say, I saw a young fellow steal that kid! Yes, sir, he looked all around to see if anybody was watching, and then smiled and chucked at her and took her up and walked out to a train. I have tackled him, only I'm an old man and have a bad liver. The doctor told me not to get excited. Yes, sir, he stole that baby as auro as shooting, and he's a hundred miles away by this time!" There was weeping and walling and telegramming to Mr. Congdon and telegraphing to conductors. One of the latter answered: "Young man with a baby in his arms got off at Blankville. Had my suspicions." The trail led to Blankville. Irony of Fate! Young man steals a baby in Philadelphia and gets off the train where it's father and mother live. A telegram to the police at Blankville read: "Arrest young man who got off five o'clock train with a girl baby. Case of kidnapping." And there being no case for the police to blunder and arrest an old woman leading a goat, they nabbed Mr. Paul Ashley as he sat in the depot playing with the stolen child and asking everybody if they could identify it. Father, mother and Aunt Ethel arrived and rushed and precipitated themselves, and that sweetest, nicest, darlingest little bit of humanity actually kicked and fought and assaulted one form from the arms of its bold-faced bulldozer. The police had no case. The (try) case they appeared had been after explanations had been made, was between Miss Ethel and Mr. Ashley. It hasn't been fully concluded yet but it has been settled that Paris will be one of the continental cities visited during the coming summer. pity.

GOT HIS START IN CHICAGO Johnny Kane, Star Utility Player of Champion Cubs, Tells of His Early Baseball Days. By JOHNNY KANE (Copyright, 1910, by Joseph B. Bowles). I got my start playing ball at school in Chicago and at Hyde Park High school, where I played both the infield and outfield. Up to the time I graduated from High school I had not thought of playing ball as a profession, although I was wild about the game. I remember once I played a game and put on evening clothes over he uniform so as to make sure I wouldn't miss a class dance or a ball game either. When on class graduated, the class historian, in writing about me, predicted that I would be playing ball on the world's champion team in 1900—and I guess I decided when I read that to make good for the prophet. Anyhow, it put the idea of playing ball professionally into my mind. I wanted to try it because I had been trouble in making good. In fact I the time I was a boy and they were my heroes. I got my trial out at Pittburg, Kan- watching the Colts under Anson from as, and because of my experience at High school and playing with prairie made so good that the people out there wouldn't let me go. Once I was traced off, and my friends raised such a row that within two days I was back. It is easier to play ball when a crowd takes that much inter- est in you. They kept me going. I was trying to play up to the idea they had of me, and I tell you there is more in that than one thinks. If a fellow feels that the crowd and every- one has faith in him and believes he can do something, it gives him faith and confidence in himself and he is far more likely to make good than if they were yelling at him. My work attracted attention and Johnny Kane. was wanted for my base running. After I got out of Pittsburgh I shot up in the game and in a brief period was at Cincinnati. The crowd down there did not have much faith in me, although I had some friends, and I had a slump. Then Manager Chance traded for me and I made good the prediction of the champion—and was with the World's Champions, although I hadn't helped them win the championship. I think I succeeded as well as I have done by close study of the game and by closer watching of every move. Experience has taught me a lot. I never have regretted going into baseball. It is a good clean game, and a clean way of earning one's livelihood. But don't tackle it if you are looking for something easy. It is hard and wearing work—and a player grows old faster than men in most other lines of business. GARDNER AGAIN WINS TITLE Chicago Boy Defeats Hugh Lee of Detroit, 1 Up, In Final 36-Hole Match at Yale. Robert A. Gardner of the Hinsdale Golf club of Chicago won the golf championship at Yale the other day by defeating Hugh Lee, the Michigan champion, by 1 up in the 36-hole final match. This makes the second year Gardner has won the title. Gardner has been prominent in athletics. Yale was one of the best pole vaulters in the addition to having twice won the golf championship of the school. He was also honored a few days ago by being elected captain of the Yale golf team for a second time. The Chicago boy was golf champion of the United States last year, having won the title by defeating H. Chandler Egan of Exmoor in the final match at the Chicago golf club. His playing this year has not been up to the standard he set in 1909, but he improved greatly toward the end of the season, although he failed to qualify for the national championship at Brookline. His most notable golf feat of the year was the defeat of Walter Travis in the final match of the open tournament at Glen View. Beaupierre Makes Clean Sweep. Frank Beaupierre, the Australian swimmer, who has made a clean sweep of the big events in England this season, is not through with his record-breaking feats, for his latest attempt was on the world's record for 500 meters. He was successful, for he hit the 100-meter mark 2.15 seconds and this is 1.5 times better than the former world's record made by Otto Scheff, of Austria in 1906. The swim took place at the Westminster baths, London, and as the pool is 44 yards long Beaupierre had to make 12 lengths and 18 yards 2½ feet. New Plan for Prizes In deploring the Lajoie-Cobb batting scandal, which, he says, has done the game a great injury, President Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburg team, says that the automobile prize, if it had to be offered, should be put up for the player that drove in the most runs. That would have given all a show and there would have been no chance to cheat, nor would there have been any scandal. As it is, gross the joy has been done to baseball. DUFFERED 30 YEARS. But Chronic Kidney Trouble Was Finally Cured. Charles Von Soehnen, 201 A St., Colaf, Wash., says: "For 30 years I suffered from kidney trouble and was held up for days at a time. There was a dull ache through the small of my back and I had rheumatic pains in every joint. The kidney secretions passed too freely and I was annoyed by having to arise at right.

Scene, a country church of Episcopalian denomination in process of being decorated for the Christmas season. The rector, who has a strong leaning towards forms of all kinds, is fastening a festoon of evergreen about the baptismal font, when, enter Miss Dymple, who unceremoniously flings her hat upon the seat of a pew and comes to his assistance. The rector suddenly observes that she is hatless and remarks severely; "Miss Dymple, it is particularly forbidden that women shall come into the church with uncovered heads." "Oh, bother, I forget!" responded the young lady irreverently "Well," grabbing up the rector's derby and setting it jauntly on her pert little head, "will this do?" No Union. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, at a lunchon at the Colony club in New York,urged on women the necessity forunion. "we are to get the vote,"she said, "we must stand together.

"Why, did he tell you you looked ice?" said the second. "No," was the reply. He told me you did!" BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED "Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She now sixteen years of age and a picture of health. We used the Cuticura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected by the disease. We used no other treatment after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, M. Vernon, K. Oct. 12, 1909." Darwin Dyepepala, Gas, Sourness or Indigestion Go Five Minutes After Taking a Little Dipepsin. If your meals don't fit comfortably, or you feel bloated after eating, and you believe it is the food which fills you; if what little you eat lies like lead on your stomach; if there is difficulty in breathing, eructations of sour, undigested food and acid, heartburn, brash or a belching of gas, you can make up your mind that you need something to stop food fermentation and cure Indigestion. A large case of Pape's Dipepsin costs only fifty cents at any drug store here in town, and will convince any stomach sufferer five minutes after taking a single dose that Fermentation and Sour Stomach is causing the misery of Indigestion. No matter if you call your trouble Catarrh of the Stomach, Dyspepsia, Nervousness or Gastritis, or by any other name—always remember that a certain cure is waiting at your drug store the moment you decide to begin its use. Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any out-of-order Stomach within five minutes, and digest promptly, without any fuss or discomfort, all of any kind of food you eat. These large 50-cent cases contain more than sufficient to thoroughly cure any chronic case of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Gastritis or any other Stomach trouble. Should you at this moment be suffering from Indigestion, Gas, Sourness or any stomach disorder, you can surely get relief within five minutes. The Simple Life.

Adam had just received his notice of ejectment. He stared at it a long time in silence, while Eve, crouched in a dusky corner, softly whispered. Presently the father of mankind looked around.

"Well," he sternly said, "you've certain talks, fine mess with your silly curiosity!" and yet when refused to have anything to do with your apple scheme you called me a poor fool. Do you remember that you called me a poor fool?" "Yees," sobbed Eve. "Well, there's but one question I want to ask you?" said Adam. "What is it?" gasped the first mother.

Mother—We must tell her that we want her to marry him. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.

Mr. Chisholm calls attention to the fact that there is as great a waste of Negro brains and industrial efficiency as there is of our National resources. Among other things Mr. Chisholm says, "When to the fact of short school session we add the further fact that the instruction given is of the most elementary sort, the teacher pitliably ignorant, the school building woefully inadequate, and then consider that less than one-half of the Negroes of school age are in school even the short school term, the evidence is clear that this alarming and unsatisfactory condition of Negro common schools demands immediate and vigorous action." "Measured by the facts and figures before us, education on any large scale has not yet been tried for the Negroes. Furthermore, unless these young Negroes are educated, ignorance will inevitably grow denser. And this simply means that crimes, lynching, lawlessness, poverty and economic inefficiency will increase. The net result will be a vast national loss growing out of the more basic problem of Negro ignorance arising from national indifference. In the light of history and in consideration of our own experience as a nation regarding the relationship of illiteracy to crime and race antagonisms, it is clear that the proper provision for the education of every Negro child in the land will mean an immense saving to the nation in Negro intelligence and thrift. Any other policy will be wasteful and criminal." The New Negro Political Movement is our Declaration of Independence Atlantic City our Cradle of Liberty and Aug. 6th, 1910 our Independence Day. SOWING SEEDS OF EDUCATION. Young Writer's Psychological View of Parent's Responsibility in the Education of Children—Best Methods of Preparing Young Minds For the Reception and Retention of Knowledge. By M155 AMELIA A. HOWARD. A very true saying of an able barrister whose name I do not recall is that there are three things in knowing. First, is knowing what to know; second, is knowing how to know, and third, is knowing when to know. The importance of home education to children or sowing the seeds of cultivation should claim the most careful attention of all teachers. The agriculturist and horticulturist are two skilled persons whom the world must admire and feel proud of. In the first instance they look at the condition of the soil, enrich it, then sow it with such seed as the soil will best yield and cultivate it for the community at large. Who can but admire the neatness and greenishness and freshness when traveling along a country road during cultivation season? In the second case the person plants and cultivates such things that give us shade and adorn our yards with verdure, beauty and fragrance. So we observe the 'there are health, strength and beauty combined in the previous kind of sowing and cultivation. How much more important it is that the lives of our children should boast of this health, strength and beauty. The education of children requires consideration of human nature in general, which changes with the progressive development of youth; consideration of the age in which they are living, of the personality of each individual character and of the law of development, which as regards the spiritual nature is a higher outcome of the general law of the development of the universe. There is not enough of conviction in the minds of the parents and guardians that the responsibility of their children's acts, either good or bad, rests upon their older shoulders; that the final outcome of their children's lives depends almost entirely upon parental influences. The bringing up of a child thus means a series of lessons in self restraint, in watchfulness and in adherence to an ideal for the parent even more than for the child. The child will fashion himself after the patterns that he sees. He does not grow according to any fixed rule implanted in him before birth. We must know exactly what children are, what their development is and for what they are best fitted. It must be admitted that this task, or duty, always has been bestowed upon the gentler sex, for the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. One of our greatest statesmen—in fact, one of the best men the world has yet known—was praised on one occasion for his greatness, and Abraham Lincoln replied, "All that I am, all that I ever shall be, is due to my aged mother. Our earnest mother can give a logical training in the home. Your child has bumped his head. Let him see that it was not the fault of the table, but of himself, because he did not look where he was going. Thus by learning the cause he learns to avoid further bumps. In fact, that only is the right education which makes all learning serve as an instrument with which to train the child to see in an effort the cause—in other words, to become a rational being to whom great truths of life have been shown. And, again, the child before whose eyes sensible objects are brought in the correct order of the parts to the whole and in the logical connection of things will, when reflected power is developed, also perceive this order of logical connection clearly and definitely in the intellectual world. So people strive to develop the child along moral lines adopted by society. Others strive to develop the child both morally and intellectually so that he will be an object of admiration at home, in society and in business. And this is truly an intelligent aim. Teach the child to measure his life by acts of goodness, to study daily the things that are pure and noteworthy, to be charitable in his dealings with others, to remove or hide the smile and cense to rejoice at the efforts or mistakes of others, to strive always to perform his duty in the right way and to remember that the greatest person is the one who chooses the right with invincible resolution, who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully, who is calmest in storm and most fearless under menace and whose reliance on truth and virtue and in good is most unfallering. The task of education is to assist natural development toward its destined and. As the child's development begins with its first breath, it must its education; also to beginning gives a foundation to the whole after development, the early beginnings of education are of most importance. WEST FLORESH BROOKS a store timore Mr. Slaughter was elected editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal by a most flattering vote. He has already taken charge of the editorial chair of that powerful and influential newspaper, and his friends predict for him much success. Public School Athletics Public School Athletics. The board of education of the District of Columbia designated Edwin B Henderson to organize an athletic league in the colored schools. In pursuance of that authority Mr. Henderson recently called a meeting and organized the league. Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce acted as temporary chairman, and the following officers were elected: President, James E. Walker, supervising principal of the Thirteenth division, president, G. C. Wilkinson, secretary, E. B. Henderson; treasurer, Miss A. E. Thompson, principal of the Slater school. The president appointed the following committees: Publicity and printing, J. Moria Saunders, chairman; J. O. Montgomery, B. C. Dodson, E. H. Lawson, Miss A. shorter; finance committee, G. S. Wormley, chairman; W. A. Hamilton, Eugene Clark, W. B. Hartgrove, R. B. Green. Mr. Henderson had the following to say concerning the league and its objects: The purpose of the league is to encourage manly participation in athletic sports by the boys of the public schools, especially the elementary schools. Such a league as has been formed will work wonders in the formation of good habits of loyalty and discipline among the boys. The various "stunts" which the boys will be called upon to perform will appeal to all of them, not merely to the record breaker. As it now stands, there are but few athletics, especially within a school, in which all the boys can take part. The only physical training which the boys are now afforded is that which they go through with the girls of the classroom. The league will also seek to take hold of the overgrown boys in the graded schools who are anxious to withdraw because they are overgrown and provide them with an incentive for further development, mentally and physically. The athletics will appeal to the boys not from the standpoint of breaking a record made by the exceptional boy, but equaling or surpassing the record (if such it may be called made by the average boy). Such means will prevent the boys from becoming discouraged. The league, however, does not propose to discriminate against the girls. They will be permitted, under certain restrictions, to engage in games under the supervision of a female member of the physical training department. Edwin B. Henderson, the originator of Wimbledon, one of the most colored tennis clubs among athletic promoters in the country. He is now athletic director for the colored high schools. Last year he got out a "Spalding's" manual on athletic contests in the colored schools and colleges of the south Atlantic states. Mr. 1920 Henderson has spent much time at Harvard university in the study of physical culture. The highest average that has been made on the punching machine in the census office was recently made by Miss Eva B. Price of Atlanta, Ga. The work on these machines is done on the piece basis, and during this period Miss Price earned $88. The highest sum paid any clerk on this work during any two weeks was $83. There are about 500 clerk working on the punching machines, and it is considered very high for a clerk to punch an average of (400) made in one month. Miss Price's highest mark on one day was 4200 cards. She accomplished this unusual average during the regular six hour day and has never worked extra time. Doings In Society Circles. Mrs. Ralph W. Tyler, the wife of the auditor for the navy, entertained a party of ladies at her home in T street northwest at an informal lunch once recently in honor of Mrs. Hattie King of Columbus, O.
