At the opening of the term of the District Court last week The Bee, always having the interests of the race in view, had a representative at Criminal Court No. 1, presided over by Chief Justice Covington, the newly appointed justice, and had its representative remain the entire week in order to form an opinion of the new justice. The Bee was gratified to learn from observation and from the opinions expressed by all members of the bar, regardless of color, that Judge Covington, so far, has shown himself to be one of the ablest, fairest and most courteous judges that ever presided in the District courts. His charges to the jury are absolutely fair and impartial. It is unfortunate that our ministers, doctors, and other representatives of the race do not find time to visit our higher courts and see for themselves that our colored lawyers are second to none in ability and success in the conduct of their cases. Most all of the acquittals in Criminal Court No. 1, since the opening of the court—in fact, all but one—have been secured by colored attorneys Attorneys Harry Tignor, Armond Scott, Royal Hughes, Thomas L. Jones, Fountain Peyton, John Collins and E. M. Hewlett have met with signal success. Attorney Hewlett, after one of his arguments he fore a jury, by which argument he obtained an acquittal, was congratulated by members of the jury, court officers, members of the bar, both white and colored, and followed by citizens, who filled his office, in an effort to shake his hand. Several of the white lawyers declared he was a credit to the District Bar, and some of the most prominent said his argument was the best they ever heard in the court house. Let us patronize these men, who are able and fearless and doing so much to ward the making of honorable history for our race. THE HOWARD FIRE. Good Discipline Saved Many a Life— Fire, Drill, Commended. On Tuesday, the 20th instant, at 7 p.m., a fire broke out on the east ern end of Miner Hall, Howard University, where the girls' dormitories and lunch rooms are situated. The fire, which raged from the top floor, soon formed an exit in the roof and caused an entire destruction of that end of the building. Owing to the proper training in fire drills the entire building was cleared of every girl within record time, and almost every trunk was saved from the flames. The men of the fire department got control of the fire and prevented it from spreading to the middle of the building. The Howard boys were called upon to render assistance in handling trunks and other things belonging to the girls, and without a moment's hesitation every boy around was actively engaged. In less than an hour after the fire was put out every trunk and other materials were in the rooms respectively occupied by the girls. Much praise is due the University boys, who showed such loyalty to their schoolmates. We take this opportunity of tendering our sympathy to those entrusted with the care of the University and sincerely hope that this will be an occasion when friends will arise who will render such assistance necessary that the trustees and other officers will not find themselves in a difficult position to render assistance to the girls who suffered any loss. JOSEPH N. WELCH, Dental College, Howard University. DRIVEN FROM HOME. He Seeks State Aid—Aged Negro Alleges Wrongs at Hands of White Neighbors. Ashville, Oct. 1.—Telling a sensational story of wrongs of which he claims he was the victim, Governor New, an aged ante-bellum Negro, appeared at the office of the local attorney yesterday afternoon and asked for aid, stating that a band of fifty white men had called at his home in Greenwood County, South Carolina, and presented him and his son tickets to Hendersonville, with the instructions that they leave the state before sunset. The Negro says he owns 129½ acres of land near Troy, S. C., and that he recently refused an offer of $4,000 for the property, which represents the savings of a lifetime. The land is surrounded by the property of white farmers, he stated, and it is now in crops. The aged Negro, heart-broken and fearful that he will never be able to return to his relatives and property, asked that something he done in his behalf. The matter will be called to the attention of Governor Blease with the request that he investigate it—Star, Newport News. HOWARD THEATER. Brilliant Opening of the Whitman Sisters—Theater Crowded to the Door. The announcement by Manager Andrew J. Thomas last week that the celebrated Whitman Sisters would appear at his theater this week was the signal for the turn-out of all Washington Monday night to greet them. It is quite evident that they are popular favorites in this city because they had a full house at the American Theater, except one night, when the storm prevented the people from turning out. There are always two incidents that prevent colored American theater-goers from coming out, and those are when it storms or when it is too cold. However, the crowd that greeted the Whitman Sisters at the Howard Monday night was unprecedented. Every available space or afywhere a person was able to squeeze in was occupied Monday night. The ladies were conspicuous by their excellent gowns. It was a full-dress affair, so to speak, Monday night and Manager Thomas never felt better and never M. J. D. L. FRIDERICK L. SIDDONS Associate Justice of the Supreme Court if the District of Columbia, to succeed Mr. Justice Wright, who resigned. looked happier. The Whitman sisters were the drawing card. There were eight participants in all, including Mae, Essie and Alberta. They have not lost any of their sweetness and acting. They were assisted, by five other comedians, including a very refined female and four "clever try comedians." The banner European novelty artists, Gilpin and Wood, were very clever. The moving pictures were extraordinary. The entire show at the Howard this week was good. THE AMERICAN THEATER. Messrs. Dudly and Thomas. This theater presented a most excellent show this week. The Olivers' Folly Folks, Hodges and Herd, Kelly and 'Davis, and Mosergale and Crady held forth this week. The crowd is on the increase at the theater and the plays are good. Messrs. Thomas and Dudly are meeting the demands of the theater-goers of Washington. Joseph C. Manning In Boston. Boston, Mass., Oct. 20. Joseph C. Manning, of Alabama, is now in New, England with the object in view of stating facts about conditions in the South, as they effect all the people of the nation, so that the truth may be forced up into national discussion. On the rostrum, through interviews and articles in the papers, he is making a sentiment—making campaign—that is stirring Boston and will arouse all New England. Mr. Manning declares that disfran- 100 M. M. H. B. ATTORNEY E, M. HEWLETT --- --- chisement has made subject citizens of the colored citizens of the South and that the motive for the attacks upon the race is to attract Northern public sentiment so that it will continue to tolerate this condition. No man, South or North, has done more to keep the Southern situation before the country. The work being done by Mr. Manning should be supported by those who are interested in human rights.

South Carolina has enacted a law prohibiting white people teaching in schools where Negroes are taught unless consent of the County Board of Education is first obtained. In championing the bill, Governor Cole Please said. "Any white man who will sit at the presidency of a Negro college, in my opinion, is about as low as it is possible for any man with a white mother to get, and is unworthy of the association of any decent gentleman." The activities of students at the University of North Carolina indicate that the spirit of this South Carolina legislation does not characterize the feeling of the white people towards Negroes. Students at Chapel Hill, N.C. have undertaken a campaign for the betterment of Negroes of the community. He has long felt that their work should not be confined to the campus. They recognized their duty to M. W. H. . co-operate in efforts for community uplift, and they considered Negro settlements as vital parts of the community. The entering wedge was a series of lectures upon Negro life in the South. Imported speakers, members of the faculty, and students took up various aspects of the problem. Investigators found health conditions above the average of Negro settlements in the South.-Detroit Leader. The Family Tree. I strolled among the forest woods, Of human shrubs and trees In flourishing array one stood, With progress as its leaves. Two mighty branches was this tree. Husband and wife in Love, Beneath its boughs so merrily, Ten children played about. The season changed, the years marched on, The frosty winds did blow, The vital cords of brain and brawn, Were festered from below. The sexton of earth with ax in hand, Began his march of terror, His orders were to spare no man, The just nor one of error. With cutting pain the old tree parted. Mother being the first to fall, Then little children though faint- hearted, Looked to Father as Mother for all. Though anxious was the Father's heart, To keep his young together. The messenger death played his part, And two went home to Mother. With active hands he did his best, But the sexton returned one-day, And with chilling blows laid to rest The Father who received his pay. Three sisters dear, five brothers brave, They struggled on together, But alas, we march now to the grave To deposit baby brother. The family tree is falling fast. In the silent city together, There to wait the triumphant blast, For Father, Children and Mother. Step on dear brother and comrade brave, Through silence shroud your form. We shall strike hands beyond the grave. When suffering days are done. Though divided by the valley death, Or Jordan's angry sea, DR. RICHARDSON. Temperance His Theme—A Brilliant Address. Last Sunday afternoon Brown's Memorial-Church, Fourteenth and B Streets Northeast, a number of people listened to a most scholarly address on temperance by Dr. Geo H. Richardson, one of the best educators, philosophers and logicians in this country. For fully an hour his address gave a most interesting and beautiful picture of intemperance that ever fell from the lips of man. At the conclusion of his most excellent address, Messrs. Charles H. Lane and W. Calvin Chase were introduced and gave some interesting talks. The former agreed with Dr. Richardson, while the latter disagreed. Addresses were also made by other members of the congregation, who requested Dr. Richardson to come again, as his paper should be listened to by thousands who had never heard it. REV. O. S. SIMMS. The Distinguished Minister, Is in the City. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, has had with him this week, since last Sunday, Rev. O. S. Simms, pastor of the Rodman Street Baptist Church of Pittsburg, Pa. Rev. Simms is one of the most eloquent pastors in the United States and a man of great force. The church was crowded to the limit last Sunday morning and evening and the successful revivals that are being conducted by Rev. Simms have added this week over one hundred new members to the church, and before the revival ends it is expected that the membership to the church will increase to one thousand. SOCIAL SETTLEMENT.

THE FOREIGN TRADE THE FOREIGN TRADE FOREIGN TRADE Of the Netherlands and the Share Thereof With the United States The Netherlands, with a population of 6,144,000 and an area of 13,171 square miles, has a foreign trade of nearly three billion dollars. According to revised figures for 1912, published in "Commercial Relations of the United States," imports were valued at $1,452,458,168, a gain of $112,491,200 over 1911, while exports were $1,251,472,027, an increase of $153,052,446 over the preceding year. Though the Netherlands is a very small country, slightly larger than the State of Maryland, it ranks among the leading commercial nations of the world. Its imports are 90 per cent as much as those of France with a population six times as great, and its exports are about 60 per cent as much as those of Germany with a population ten times as great. This unusually large commerce of the Netherlands is explained by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, as being due (1) To the favorable location of that country for the transshipment of goods destined for, or originating in, European countries and sections distant from the scaboard. (2) To the fact that in the Dutch statistics foreign goods destined ultimately to some other country are not rigorously excluded from special trade statements; hence it frequently happens that the same goods appear both in the import and export accounts, unduly swelling each in comparison with the commercial returns of most other European countries. (3) To the peculiar system of valuations for trade statistics in practice in the Netherlands. Except in cases where imported merchandise is durable and a statement of declared values is necessary for the ascertainment of revenues (amounting to about 10 per cent of the total imports) all values in its trade accounts are "official," that is, fixed by a commission and frequently varying from actual values. As many articles are given the same unit valuation as that fixed a half century ago, they do not reflect the lower price levels which have accumulated. To this extent the trade figures of the Netherlands are abnormal and not comparable with those of other leading nations. Ten per cent of the imports into the Netherlands are stated as being from the United States, compared with 29 per cent from Germany, 14 per cent from the Dutch East Indies, about 10 per cent each from Belgium and the United Kingdom, 8 per cent from Russia, and nearly 3 per cent from Argentina. The Netherlands sends direct to this country only 4.4 per cent of its exports, compared with 5 per cent to the Dutch East Indies, 12 per cent to Belgium, 20 per cent to the United Kingdom, and 50 per cent to Germany. Present conditions in Europe have, of course, greatly modified the extent and distribution of Dutch trade as well as that of other countries. Thus exports to the Netherlands from the United States dropped from $13,714.345 in August, 1913, to $2,324.488 in August last; while our imports therefrom in the same period increased from $2,605.396 to $3,446.042. Four great groups of articles supply on-half the total value of Dutch imports. These are breadstuffs (chiefly wheat and rice) 263 million dollars; iron and steel manufactures, 194 million; chemicals, drugs, and dyes, 172 million; and copper ore, ingots and bars, 63 million. Quinine alone amounted to $134,387,000, of which $103,562,000 worth was exported. East Indian products figure largely in the imports into the Netherlands, which include in addition to those already noted, coal, 50 million dollars; timber, 45 million; stone paving blocks, 33 million; coffee, 21 million; hides and skins, 17 million; copra, 15 million; tin, wool, and cocoa beans, each about 10 million; hemp, 8 million; and tea and tobacco, each 5 million dollars. Glassware, rubber goods, haberdashery, scientific instruments, and many other manufactures, are also imported in considerable quantities. The chief direct importations from the United States are copper, 20 million dollars; wheat and flour, 30 million; timber, 11 million; and flax-seed oil cake and meal. lard, petroleum, iron and steel goods, oats, turpentine, cotton seed oil, and calcium acetate. The Netherlands sends to the United States principally diamonds, tobacco, hides and skins, cocoa, coffee, cinchona, spices, pickled herring, bulbs and plants, tin, rice, and seeds. Additional facts regarding the Netherlands and other countries are contained in "Commercial Relations," which is sold by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., at the nominal price of 40 cents. Doing Well. Dr. James E. Shepard passed through the city en route for New York City last Tuesday morning. The opening of the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C., is doing well. The attendance this year is the largest in the history of that great school. WAR "DON'TS" FOR BRITISH YOUTHS Earl Tells Boys What to Do and What to Avoid. WHY ANTWERP WAS TAKEN. Germany Intends to Hold It Always Unless Allies Prevent, Says Curzon. Advises Against Dividing Up Germany "Before You Have Got Hold of It." London.-Earl Curzon of Kedleston delivered a rousing speech to an audience which included the masters and boys of Harrow school. He said he knew of the anticipation of European statesmen of the highest rank who had prophesied for years that it would be in 1914 that Germany would strike the blow at Europe. Some people, he remarked, were ```markdown ``` LORD CURZON. of the opinion that it would be over by Christmas. He went on, speaking with great gravity: "In my judgment more than one Christmas will return home." Lord Curzon c lowing "don'ts" "Don't think t you individually. woman and child in this country. "Don't be overjoyed at a victory. Don't be downhearted at a defeat. "Don't be unnerved by personal or family bereavements. "Don't be frightened at casualty lists, so long and sometimes so distressing. "Don't think that you know how to wage the campaign and that the war office does not. "Don't write to the newspapers telling generals and admirals what they ought to do, but if you have an opinion that you could do it much better tell it to as few people as possible. "Don't get nervous because the progress of the war is slow. It can only be slow in these stages. "Don't underrate the enemy. "Don't waste breath in attempting to ascertain what is to happen to the German emperor in this world or the next. "Don't begin to divide up the German empire before you have got hold of it. "Don't listen to any one, who cries 'Halt!' before we have carried out the full purpose for which we are fighting. "And when the war is over don't throw away the lessons of the war." Earl Curzon also said: "Germany has taken Antwerp to fortify it, to keep it, to make a great naval port of it, to use it as a great jumping off place for her future attempts upon this country. It is no temporary occupation, unless we make it so." TREED ALL NIGHT BY A COON. Boy Feared to Climb Down Past Nest He Had Disturbed. West Livingston, N. J.-While his parents and neighbors searched the woods for him all night. Henry Dickinson, fifteen years old, was held a prisoner in the top of a butternut tree by a raccoon that had lodged with her brood in a hollow of t' same tree. Henry climbed the tree to get nuts late in the afternoon and disturbed the coon by sticking his foot into her home. When the angered animal stuck out her head the boy climbed higher. All night long the coon kept guard, and Henry was afraid to climb down past her. After daybreak he called to Edwin Carter, a farmer, driving a herd of cows to pasture, and Carter got a shotgun. Carter was afraid of hitting the boy if he shot at the coon, so he tied a rock to a string and threw it up to Henry, who then hauled up the gun. The next time the coon stuck her head out of her hole Henry shot and killed her. Horse Meat as Food. Vienna. Beef is so high horse meat is becoming popular in Vienna, 200 horses being put on the market in one day. WHERE EXPORTS WERE SENT Canada Gets Most of Its Imported Foreign Goods From the United States. sign Goods From the United States. Washington.—What and how much the nations of the world bought from the United States before the outbreak of the war, as told by American counsular officers, are discussed in "Commercial Relations of the United States," a volume of 272 pages, just issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Four countries other than the United States offer each a market for over a $1,000,000,000 worth of foreign products annually—the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Netherlands. Great Britain bought $3,000,000,000 worth, about 20 per cent of which is from this country; Germany, $2,500,000,000, with 15 per cent from the United States; France, $1,500,000,000, of which 11 per cent is from the United States, and the Netherlands, an important center for the transshipment of foreign goods, nearly $1,500,000,000, in which American goods figure to the extent of about 10 per cent. Belgium's annual purchases fall just short of $1,000,000,000 in value, United States products supplying about 8 per cent, while Austria-Hungary, Italy, Canada, Russia, India, Australia, Argentina and Japan are next in order with imports ranging from $722,000,000 to about $300,000,000. These countries vary greatly in the proportion of their purchases from the United States, Canada taking 65 per cent and India 3 per cent. Brazil's imports exceed $308,000,000, only 15 per cent of which are from the United States, which takes 40 per cent of the Brazilian exports. WISCONSIN MEN STRIKE GOLD. Find Mine in Colorado, and Ore Assays $190 a Ton. Steamboat Springs, Colo.—Gold ore assaying $190 per ton has been struck in the Royal Flush mine, at Hahn's Peak, in a vein from three and one-half to four feet in thickness and of a continuous length. The assays also show good values in silver and lead. The strike was made in a drift leading from the 1,540 foot funnel. The strike is being rapidly opened, a depth of forty feet already being reached. Several inches of almost virgin ore was found on the hanging wall, and this is being sacked for shipment. This mine is owned by a number of Wisconsin capitalists and is regarded as one of the richest in the Hahn's Peak territory. a Meal For Employees of Uncle Sam. Washington.—Director Ralph in solving the high cost of living for the 4,700 employees of the bureau of engraving and printing has arranged it so that these people get the best things in the market at the lowest possible cost Twenty cents a meal is the average cost to cach cater. Mr. Ralph is of the belief that the same system he has installed at the bureau can be instituted in the big cities in the event of a crisis, and there are many experts who back his views. Instead of the employees of the bureau bringing their lunches Mr. Ralph installed a lunch room, which is cooperatively owned by those who dine there. The 4,700 employees of the bureau were told of the new scheme before it was installed, so that it was through their co-operation that the present system was brought about. The men each put up $1 to start their lunch room. The women were taxed 50 cents, all who could afford it. And they merely loaned the money. In two months' time, when the system has been six months old, this money will be refunded. With the $2,500 subscribed in this manner Director Ralph set about installing on the top floor of the fine new bureau building a modern kitchen and dining room. He went to New York and purchased the dishes. Then he selected a good head cook, a first class steward, a man who knew how to buy in the open market. Director Ralph employed sixty other men to take care of the hungry. Any person connected with the bureau can have a first rate meal for 20 cents, or, if the diner feels extravagant, 25 cents may be expended. At present the prices are higher; it is said, than they will be. A cup of coffee now costs 5 cents. Eventually this will be brought down to 3 cents. But coffee, milk and tea are minor details. The main meal is the thing. Here is a simple menu: Half fried chicken, mashed potatoes, sliced tomatoes and corn, bread and butter and pie, 20 cents. Corned beef and cabbage, mashed potatoes, beets, bread and butter and dessert, 20 cents. Gets a "Spectacled" Duck. San Francisco—Information received here from Alaska says that Lord William Percy, naturalist and sportsman, who left San Francisco several months ago for a hunting trip in the arctic, has bagged a "spectacled" elder duck, which had been supposed to be extinct. Lord Percy crawled on his stomach for half a mile to get the bird, a male. Couldn't Speak When Addressed, and Physician Worked For Hours Los Angeles.-Rigid as a mummy, Louis A. Albright, a visitor from Canton, O., was found gazing into a necktie shop by the police early one morning. He was apparently held in a hypnotic trance by an electric globe revolving before a reflector of many colors and many facets. It was only after hours of work by surgeons at the receiving hospital that Albright was restored to full consciousness. Walking his beat, Patrolman Watson saw the man gazing intently into the window. Returning that way half an hour later, Mr. Albright held the same position. Telling himself that the stranger was a very deliberate "window shopper," the patrolman passed on. But when he came by the store a third time and saw that Albright had not budged he thought it time to investigate. "Pretty ties, sir," he suggested with due respect. He might have been talking to a rock. "Nice night, sir," ventured the patrolman once more. Again there was no response. Watson touched the window gazer. There was no movement. The ambulance was called. Mr. Albright was tipped into a stretcher and driven to the hospital. DREAMED BABY WAS DEAD. Cable Announces That It Was a True Vision. Toledo, O.—Kosman Boycheff, insurance man and graduate of a university in Bulgaria, received a telegram from Secretary of State Bryan that his daughter Helen had died in Bremen. The child was four years old. Mrs Boycheff and two little daughters left three weeks ago to visit Bulgaria. They were detained in Bremen when war was declared. Boycheff cabled funds to them, but has no information as to their condition or the cause of his daughter's death. Just before he received the telegram from Secretary Bryan Boycheff told a business associate that he had dreamed the night before that his baby was dead. LIMBURGER CHEESE STILL ON THE MENUS American Made Product Good and Plentiful, Say Authorities. Washington. — Epicureans, bon vivants, lobster palace habitues and all other loves of good living. Attention General war or no general war in Europe, America can keep up the supply of limburger cheese, no matter if the allies draw and maintain an impenetrable cord around the fatherland forever. The department of agriculture arises to assure a disheartened nation that Uncle Saaf is equal to the task, and the fragrant product of the creamery may remain on the bills of fare throughout the land regardless of commerce destroying cruisers and the extraordinary demands of the imperial German commissariat. In an official bulletin the department has announced: "There is no reason why some of this deficiency cannot be made good at home if the farmers will furnish the milk." It is felt that this statement will prove at least enlightening, for it explains that limburger cheese is really made from milk. Then the bulletin continues: "All American cheeses rank, in the opinion of experts, fully as high as foreign cheeses of the same class. "One of the most striking instances of this is limburger cheese. In quality and price American cheese of the limburger type long ago drove its foreign rival out of the market. Very little foreign limburger has been imported into this country for many years. "Many consumers have clung to the belief, that they were eating a foreign cheese. There is no reason at all why they should not now know that the American product is exactly as good as the foreign. Moreover, now that some of the more expensive types of foreign cheeses are not likely to reach us for a long time, the demand for domestic limburger should be greatly increased." The bulletin also relates that Swiss type cheeses of quality equal to the best of Gruyere and Swietzer have been made in the United States and are sold in competition with the foreign product. BOY'S RECORD CORN CROP. Aged Fifteen, He Gets Fifty Bushels an Acre on a Twenty Acre Plot. Courtland. Kan.—What an industrious boy can accomplish is aptly illustrated in the record of Henry Emery, the fifteen-year-old son of J. M. Emery, a farmer living on the Pitsenberger farm, near Courtland. During the past year he has raised twenty acres of corn on his father's farm, from which the young farmer expects to get a yield of fifty bushels per acre. San Francisco.—Bearing the distinction of being the first stowaway successfully to have negotiated the Panama canal, John Jaughan arrived in San Francisco on the new Admiral line steamship Admiral Schley. PENSION TIDE NOW EBBS. Payments Fall $2,000,000 From the High Water Mark. Washington.—The report of Gaylord M. Saltzgaber, commissioner of pensions, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914, shows that the high water mark in expenditures for pensions in the United States has been passed. In the year 785,239 pensioners received from the government $172,417,540.26, at an administrative cost of over $2,000,000. The total of pensions paid marks a decline of about $2,000,000 from the preceding year, when the rolls were heavily recruited under the old age pension act of 1912. "This shows," says Mr. Saltzgaber's report, "that the largest amount ever paid out was expended in 1913. Up to that time there had been a gradual ascent, but the summit has been passed, and a decrease in the amount may be expected to continue." Since 1866 the government has paid in pensions a grand total of $4,761,450,399.50. Because of the deaths of veterans and new economies in administration the pension office paid out about $7,653,000 less than was appropriated last year. In the year $1,160,753.35 was paid to pensioners living abroad, or about $200,000 more than was sent out of the country in the same way in the preceding year. The average age of the 305,750 survivors of the Mexican and civil wars admitted to the rolls under the act of 1912 down to June 30, 1913, was about seventy-one years. Of these pensioners two were ninety-nine years old, one was 102 and one was 103. No survivor of the war of 1812 is now on the rolls, but the government still pays pensions to 170 widows of veterans of that war. There were last year 893 survivors of the Mexican war still drawing pensions, as were 4,600 widows of veterans of that war. NO AID TO STRAIGHT "POINT." Why? Because Hunting Dog's Wooden Leg is Hind One. Superior, Wls.—William Billstein is the proud possessor of a dog with a wooden leg. Last winter his pointer dog, Max, caught one of his hind legs in a steel trap. Before he was released it was frozen and had to be amputated. Since then various devices were tried, but none was successful until Mr. Billstein obtained the services of an expert artificial limb manufacturer. He built a miniature limb for Max, who is now "just as good as a new dog." Billstein thinks Max will make just as good a showing in the hunting field as any dog. Fall of Antwerp Adds 500,000 to Homeless List London. — Three million refugees without homes or money, in many cases lacking sufficient clothing and even food, make one result of little more than two months of warfare in Europe. The fall of Antwerp added fully 500,000 men, women and children to the already long list of homeless sufferers who must depend on the bounty of others for their keep. France, England, Germany, Austria, Russia and Belgium have all felt the effect of the sufferings of this great army. England and France especially and the neutral nation of Holland have been the chief sufferers, for to them have come the homeless hordes of Belgians fleeing from their homes or driven out by the fire and sword that has swept through the country. It is estimated that there are 1,000,000 refugees in France, more than half that number in England, at least 500,000 in Holland. Refugees from the border towns of Germany and the East Prussian territory occupied by Russia have fled to the interior in what numbers cannot be estimated. On the other hand, Russians from Poland and the border towns attacked by the Germans have been forced to flee to the interior. Thousands of refugees from Galicia and the parts of Hungary occupied by the Russians have fled to the interior, and Vienna and other large Austrian and Hungarian cities are taxed to their utmost to care for them. How many of these refugees there are it is almost impossible to say, and 3,000,000 is probably a conservative estimate of the great numbers who have felt the full force of the warfare. Besides those that have fled from their homes, there are thousands in different parts of Belgium and parts of France, possibly starving and hopelessly facing the coming winter. How to care for these great armies of homeless during the winter is the problem that is facing many governments. Those Belgians who fed their country and sought refuge in France are said to be absolutely destitute, in many cases weak from hunger and sufferings. This large influx has brought France face to face with a big problem. England apparently has so far absorbed those refugees who have reached her shores and will probably be able to care for many more. Clercy at War Berlin.—The greater part of the Protestant clergy in Germany is expected soon to be on active military duty, the Evangelical constistories having lifted the ban on ministers joining the colors. WAR TAX OF $105,000,000. This Amount, Together With the Income Tax, Is Expected to Restore Balance to the Government's Finances—Loss of Germany's Trade Is the Biggest Item on Deficiency List. Washington.—In a statement of the work of the Democratic party in the present congress, prepared for insertion in the Congressional Record, Representative Oscar W. Underwood, the leader of the house, estimates that the revenues of the United States in the next twelve months will decrease more than $125,000,000 on account of the European war. The estimate was made on the assumption that all imports from the European countries at war would cease in the next year. No estimate of the falling off of revenues from dutieable imports from countries not engaged in hostilities is included. The war revenue bill is intended to raise $105,000,000. The following table embraced in Mr. Underwood's statement gives the estimated falling off in revenues on account of the European war: In his statement Mr. Underwood declares that the war revenue legislat 1930 Hon was not made necessary because of the failure of the tariff law to provide the necessary income. "During the fiscal year 1914," says Mr. Underwood, "the customs revenue collected amounted to $202,000,000. Of this amount $5,500,000 was collected before the present law went into effect. The customs revenue collected during the first nine months the new law was in effect amounted to $206,500,000, or $22,000,000 per month. The customs revenue collected during the fiscal year 1913 (the last year the Payne law was in operation) amounted to $318,891,395.86, or $26,000,000 per month. The new tariff law provides an income tax to make up for the reduction in customs revenue because of the lowering of the tariff taxes. "For the last ten months of the calendar year 1913 there accrued from the income tax on individuals $31,344,539. The amount of corporation, excise and income tax accruing from the entire calendar year of 1913 was $45,851,028. The total amount of the excise tax on corporations derived by the treasury for the calendar year 1912 was $35,006,299. The new income tax law eliminated the corporation exemption of $5,000, added to the tax list many corporations not subject to the excise tax and also imposed a graduated rate upon corporations holding stock in others. "Considering the unsettled business conditions during the year 1914, largely on account of disturbed international, commercial and other conditions, the best obtainable figures as to the estimated amount that will accrue from the corporation tax for 1914 are $42,500,000, while the same estimate from individual income tax is $42,500,000, making a total of $85,000,000. Deducting from this amount $35,000,000 that would otherwise have accrued from corporation excise tax under the act of 1009 leaves $50,000,000, or $4,100,000 per month, that would accrue to the treasury from the income tax for the fiscal year 1915. Adding this average monthly yield to the average monthly yield of the present tariff law gives $27,000,000 as compared with $26,000,000 under the act of 1009." Seeking Italy's Trade. Rome.—Germans are sending large quantities of goods to Italy with letters: "Pay us when the war is over. We don't want your money. We only want your trade." ICCHTHYOL FOUND HERE Necessity Mother of Discovery as Well as of Invention. New York.—Following the announcement in a recently issued bulletin of the United States geological survey to the effect that ichthyol oil, a valuable medicament, has been, along with many other products, cut off by the war and that an imitation oil is now being made to take its place, comes the announcement from a local source that the real ichthyol has been found in this country. Samples of the fossiliferous deposits in which the oil is found were recently brought to the attention of a well known technical chemist in this city, and he reported that these deposits were identical in every respect to those existing in the Austrian Tyrol, from which place the world's supply of ichthyol has so far been obtained. The deposits in question are undef the direction of the chemist referred to and are now being developed by New York interests, which have secu- ced control of the properties and expect to get handsome returns on their investment. The properties cover some 800 acres. This is apparently another case where the war has brought atten- tion to the need of development of a property containing a valuable product which has hitherto been supplied from abroad. HUNTS SON HE DROVE AWAY. Father, Seventy, Searches Europe and America In Vain. Shelbyville, Ind.-Weary and broken in health, William Keyman, seventy, has returned to Shelbyville after a tour of Europe and the United States in search of his son, who, in a fit of anger, he sent away from his home here four years ago. Keyman, now repentant for the quarrel which caused his son to depart, visited nearly every city in the United States, following up one clew after another, as well as the large cities of Europe, only to return without tidings from the lost boy. "I will remain in Shelbyville but a short time," Keyman said. "After I have rested I shall go to Canada and again take up the search." GERMAN AND BRITISH DOCTORS SIDE BY SIDE Wounded Men of Both Forces Treated Alike by Red Cross. London.—The Berlin Vossche Zeltung of a recent date publishes the following extract from a letter written by a wounded British soldier to his relatives. It reads: "For three hours I lay among dead and wounded before English and German Red Cross ambulances arrived almost at the same time. "The German and English doctors saluted, and then they worked together aiding the wounded. "An English physician amputated the left leg of a soldier while a German physician administered parvociles to him." "During the five battles in Gallela a woman, Anna Pelegrini of Bozen, was constantly in the firing line aiding the wounded soldiers," the Wiener Extrablatt asserts. "Mrs. Pelegrini accompanied her husband from Innsbruck by showing a pass saying she was a nurse. The commander of the regiment tried in vain to persuade her to leave the battlefield. "I lost my nerve somewhat when the first bullets were flying over my head," she said, 'but I soon was used to it and later I did not mind it at all. I was lucky to escape unwounded." "Soon after this battle Mrs. Pelegrini lost sight of her husband and did not find him until several days later. He had been shot in the left shoulder and was taken care of in a field hospital." Leutenant A. C. Johnston, well known as Hants county premier cricketer, is beginning to believe that he bears a charmed life. He has been sent home wounded from the front, but he said he considers himself mighty lucky to be even alive. He had many narrow escapes from death. The day before he was wounded the nose of a shell hit a wall six inches over his head. Shortly after a bullet hit the ground a half yard ahead of him, glanced up and hit him on the body, only bruising him. Then a bullet hit him over the heart, but it was "spent," and he picked it out of his breast pocket and sent it home to his wife as a souvenir. His final escape came while he was sitting on the steps of a house. Half the building was blown up, and he was not even touched. CHRISTENED IN AEROPLANE Chicago Youngster Named Ariel While 1,000 Feet Up. Chicago.-Miss Ariel Villas, who has attained the dignity of four weeks, enjoys the distinction of being the first "aeroplane baby." She was christened at a distance of approximately a thousand feet from the earth and gurgled with delight over the sensation of having a name bestowed upon her while soaring like a bird, with her father at the wheel. Ariel is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Villas. They conceived the original idea of christening their first born in the air. STUDIES SCHOOLS ON TRAMP. Dr. Finley Sleeps In a Barn on His Incognito Tour. Albany, N. Y.-John Huston Finley, LL. D., president of the University of the State of New York and state commissioner of education, started out from Elmira on a tramp through the counties of Chemung, Schuyler, Yates and Ontario. He traveled incognito and visited the rural schools to study the conditions at first hand. Dr. Arthur D. Dean, chief of the division of vocational schools, accompanied him. "We walked to catch the atmosphere, to feel the pulse, not to spy," said Dr. Dean, "and there certainly were conditions revealed both good and bad. We had merely a sympathetic desire to see things as they are and encourage the good and help improve the bad." In describing the trip Dr. Dean said: "Among some twenty schools there were only two where the teachers lived in the district the year around. It ... Photo by American Press Association. JOHN HUBTON SINLEY. looked as though the school came to life at 9 o'clock and died at 4 o'clock each day; as though it breathed once every twenty-four hours for five hours for five days in the week every week in the school year and then remained dead till fall. "The teachers were mostly young girls from the villages. The pay was small, ranging from $9 to $12 a week. Very few teachers remained for more than a year in the same district. There was one case where a teacher changed districts for the same salary. In one section all the schoolhouses seemed to be located at the most barren places." Expert Points Out That South Is Paying the Penalty. Washington. — "The situation in which the cotton planters now find themselves is only an illustration of the danger attendant upon any farm enterprise and business based on raising a single crop," said Professor Spillman, chief of the office of farm management. "It may run along very well for awhile, even for many years, but some disaster will undoubtedly overtake it. Our study and investigation have amply demonstrated that it is never safe to build agriculture on any one thing. The wheat growers of the Pacific northwest had no better resource than wheat. In 1893 the crop was ruined by untimely rains. In 1894 they experienced the panic, and the price of wheat fell as low as 18 cents per bushel. The next year it rose to 25 cents a bushel and in 1896 was boosted up to 35 cents. During that period nearly every bank and every commercial house in that region went broke. So many mortgages were called on farms that the price of farm land, which had been $40 to $50 per acre, fell as low as $10 and $12. The Pacific northwest for years past has not been depending on wheat alone. The farmers learned a costly lesson. "The same thing is true of the rice producers in regions where no other crops were raised in large quantities. Farmers who grew nothing but rice have met with two or three eras of prices away below the cost of production, and financial ruin has followed. "Every region that has but one great agricultural enterprise has suffered more or less the same way. "The evident thing that the south must do is to produce enough of all the things her wonderfully rich soil can produce to meet her home requirements. That is what the office of farm management has been urging on the south." Advises People to Stay In Cellars. London.—The mayor of Gravesend, the gate of London, has warned the people, against trying to gratify their curiosity in the event of a raid by Zeppelins.

Already we have advance returns from Republicans, Democrats, Bull Moosers, and Socialists, all showing marvelous gains and unprecedented interest in their respective parties. To explain the deductions evolved from the brains of these prophets would puzzle the most profound mathematician, analyst, or political prestadigitator, so utterly confused and confounding are they. As for the Democrats, they are relying upon their so-called splendid record for a complete indorsenent of service and continuance of power. Their position is indeed anomalous. Notwithstanding the positive proofs of their incompetency, as shown by their interminable legislative fizzles, they somehow are buoyed up by the hope that the national distractions brought on by the unfortunate European imbroglio, may divert, at least until after the election, a widespread analysis of the work accomplished by the party. In this case we opine that the Democratic party is reckoning without its host; for while there is profound interest manifested in the proceedings of the terrible conflict abroad, there are evidences that the average voter has already taken stock, estimated the probabilities of growth or decline of his business, and other interests, and has fully made up his mind that the Democratic party is the enemy of progress and prosperity or he is suspending judgment pending the issue of the profuse promises of Democratic leaders. But, as compared with the great mass of voters those last-named are comparatively few, since it is perfectly clear to the average elector that sufficient time has elapsed to test the efficiency or sufficiency of Democratic measures. From the point of view of the Socialist, the representatives of the party claim great accessions from the disaffected officeseekers of the Democratic party and are pushing their propaganda to the point of insanity in the hope of lessening the ranks of the two great parties. Republican and Democratic. The Bull Mooseers on their part are side-stepping, where they must, and antagonizing where they can, the Republican organization, by seeking coalescence with Democrats on the one hand or nominating a separate ticket on the other, for no other purpose than to defeat the Republicans and so complicate political matters as to insure trouble and even mischief in the Republican ranks for the next two years, when it is hoped the leader and arch-traitor to Republicanism may hope to realize upon his vaulting ambition and treacherous schemes. But the indications point strongly to the probability that the progressively waning influence of Mr. Roosevelt will reach a point of insignificance by 1916 as to completely eliminate that marplot from the political equation. Unless all signs fail, the fate of the Bull Moose party is sealed; for in all sections of the country are observed a steady repudiation of that party and an enthusiastic return to Republican attachment. As for the Republican party, it is busily sawing wood. Keeping its guns trained on the enemy, and emphasizing its sentiments by a zealous adherence to its time-lonored and glorious principles and a united opposition to destructive legislation and ruinous policy of the Democratic party. As there can be urged no good reason why the Democrats should be kept in power, the best reason in the world why the Bull Moose and Socialist parties should not even presume to hope for success, it only remains to be seen whether the people will, in the full and proper appreciation and exercise of their elective majesty, decree a return of the friends of order, justice, progress, and liberty to a long lease of influence and power. Let us hope that the Republicans will win. THE COLORED LAWYERS. The great ability of the colored lawyer has never been demonstrated better than during the first two weeks of the present term of Criminal Court Number 1. During the period mentioned, one person was released on probation and five were acquitted after trial by a jury, and the most striking part of it all is the fact that all except one of these defendants were represented by colored lawyers. Attorney Harry L. Tignor carried off the honors of the term by securing the release of the first two. Vera Dickson, charged with forgery, entered a plea of guilty, and, on motion of her attorney, was placed on probation on Friday, October 9, 1914. On the following Monday, Janie Baker, charged with an assault with a dangerous weapon, was tried for the offence. After a trial lasting half a day, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and the girl was discharged. On the same day, William Jones, charged with depredation on private property, was acquitted. A few days later, Clarence Boone, indicted for an assault with a dangerous weapon, was called upon to answer that charge. After a strenuous fight, he, too, was found not guilty. Both of these defendants were represented, by ex-Judge E. Mr. Hewlett, one of the ablest members of the District bar. The next day Wade Fairfax, also charged with an assault with a dangerous weapon, was called for trial. R. C. L. Moncure, a white lawyer, appeared for him and secured an acquittal. Thus far, Fairfax is the only person with a white attorney who has been released. The latest verdict favorable to the defendant was returned on Monday last in the case of Benjamin Campbell, charged with shooting one William Hawkins with an automatic revolver. The trial lasted all day, and the jury retired at four o'clock in the afternoon. After staying out for one solid hour, they returned with a verdict of acquittal. Attorney Fountain Peyton conducted the trial. And thus we get-an idea of the type of the men who are doing the legal work of the community. Regardless of the fact that the colored members of the bar are the objects of unjust criticism by those who do not know, and regardless of the fact that they all suffer for the shortcomings of one or two, it is an undisputed fact that the proportion of incompetent men is comparatively small. There is no doubt that the whole community is safe as long as we have good and learned men to whom we can entrust our life, our liberty, and our property. A MISFIT. The Reading Clerk of the House of Representatives, who has been making the rounds among our churches and civic associations with the view to disseminating facts and arguments of single-tax advocates appeared before the Northeast Public. Interest Club on last Monday evening. We say that he appeared for the purpose of, enlightening his hearers on single-tax because he was so advertised to do. Also was present a gentleman with a half dozen or so charts, indicating in a very clear and interesting way the methods of discrimination invented to place the greater proportion of the taxes of the District upon the shoulders of the small propertyholders in the less favored portions of the city. Altogether, the charts were very interesting, as well as astonishing. But by far the interest of the audience was centered on what the Reading Clerk had to say. To characterize the speech in the fewest words, it was a well-delivered pronouncement of the inherent and constitutional manhood rights of American citizens, without regard to race, color or creed; and a frank acknowledgement and powerful defence of a policy of absolute fair play and of the doctrine of the absolute equality of all men before the law. In the course of his remarks the speaker assured his auditors of his opposition to the Democratic, policy of discrimination against colored people, declared the hue and cry about "social equality" a mere phrase, utterly without meaning and designed to catch the weak-minded, irresponsible, unthinking, and pride-blown advocate of white superiority and white supremacy. As is the case with all Democrats liberal and illiberal, he sought to condone many of the angular expressions of his party, but went far enough to denounce and disown its insistent opposition to the colored race, by declaring in favor, unqualifiedly, of the justice and practicability of the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. The audience very properly gave the speaker a most cordial welcome, not, however, without the just criticism that he was like a grain of wheat in a bushel of chaff, and that he ought to be in the company of an altogether different party. PENSION TEACHERS. PENSION TEACHERS. Everybody should be interested in the Teachers' Pension Bill that was introduced in the Senate this week. The teachers in the public schools, and more especially, the female teachers, are deserving of the highest consideration. They are among the most faithful set of public servants we have in this city. Hundreds of them have devoted the best portion of their entire lives for the education of the youth of all nationalities and it is little that Congress can do to pass the pending bill immediately. Some of the best educators in this country from both schools have made brilliant marks and records that are commendable. Let us take the history of the public schools in this city. That is the history of the female teachers especially who have taught for years in our schools. Many a boy and girl have made their marks in life under the tutelage of hundreds of teachers who today are lying silent in their graves. What merit has been given them by those who have but little respect for the value of a teacher in our public schools? If they would only consider what sacrifices female teachers make to uphold and maintain their honor perhaps men would think for a moment before they, at any time, attempt to cast odium upon them. Nowhere in our public schools are the women guilty of what has been charged against men. Men, however, are looked upon as the personification of all that is righteous and holy. The poor woman is vilified, abused and condemned for imaginary offenses. The men make the advances and if the woman resents them they are ostracised. There should be a pension fund for our teachers and that at once. tion. The movement is auxiliary to the Anti-Saloon League, though confined in its operation to places of manifestly disreputable character. The leading spirit in the movement is Dr. G. H. Richardson, who fired the first gun at Brown Memorial Church on last Sunday, before an appreciative audience. Mr. Chas. E. Lane, the Editor of this paper, and others took part in the discussion. The editor, while indorsing the removal of low dives, contended for the rights of those who obey to the letter and spirit the excise laws and conduct proper places of business under the rights presumed in the license. We are heartily in favor of all movements which are calculated to purify the morals and elevate the general tone of the community, and hope that the movement will proceed along lines which will commend it to the indorsement and support of all good citizens. After all, we have too many low-down saloons to catch the unwary, hardworking colored people; and the sooner they are eliminated the better will it be for the respectable business men and the general public, as well. ANTI-BELLUM DOCTRINE ANTI-BELLUM DOCTRINE. At Mineola, L. I., in the trial of Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, who is being tried for the alleged murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, in the examination of talesmen a most significant question was asked them and that was whether they would give the same consideration to the testimony of the coloured maid as they would give to Mrs. Carman, a woman of wealth and social station. Such doctrine obtained in ante-bellum days in states where colored men and women were slaves, but in this age of civilization one would presume that the doctrine of Christianity and civilization had sufficiently intoxicated the brains of people that no such idea would be hidden in their brains. If this colored maid had remained with the defense she would have been regarded as an angel in disguise and believed above the Deity. Some day, perhaps, the poor Negro will be believed without question. PRESIDENT WILSON the District of Columbia good judges. What the people want is good men, no matter what their politics may be. The appointment of Commissioner Siddons to succeed Judge Wright is a good selection and the people commend the President for it. There is no man he could have nominated that would have given greater satisfaction. There is not the least stain upon his garments. He is a Christian judge who believes in justice and equality and the recognition of true citizenship, regardless of color or condition. Judge Siddons, here is honey from The Bee and stings for your enemies. Accept the honey and permit the stings to enter the camp of the enemy. TEACHERS HAVE RIGHTS. Whoever says that a teacher in our public schools have no right to employ counsel to represent them is mistaken. The board of education and the conduct of our teachers have a right to engage and employ counsel. The vocation of a teacher is to teach and that of a lawyer is to practice law. It is a wrong idea for any one to say that a teacher has no right to employ counsel and if she or he does, subject himself to dismissal. If that is a fact, we could say that a lawyer has no business to employ counsel, but defend himself, and you know what the old "addage" is, a lawyer who has himself for a client. JUDGE DOYLE Judge Michael M. Doyle, who has the reputation of being one of the most brilliant lawyers at the bar and one of the most popular and fairest judges in the Municipal Court, was married Wednesday to Miss Anna Cecelia Clark, a most accomplished young lady. Judge and Mrs. Doyle, accept the congratulations of The Bee and the colored members of the local bar, who wish you both long life and perpetual happiness. And now meets the national dispensers of justice, and the very first thing that these makers of laws do is to appoint a committee to keep out Negroes, Indians and Mongolians. Just think of it! No Negro need apply, if reports are true, and Indians and Mongolians shall receive a like dose. It will be but a years before these inaugurada discrimination will laugh at us folly. JUSTICE GOULD While the Colored members of the bar are going in cestasy over the two recently-appointed justices of the Supreme Court, they should not forget that Mr. Justice Gould was the only Republican judge to appoint a colored man, in the person of Mr. Conn, deputy United States Marshal. They should not also forget that he is also one of the most humane judges upon the bench of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) The summa cum laudé in the most direct-descendants' contest is surely due an old coffee-colored gentleman I met Sunday coming in on the traction line from Baltimore. He told me his name was George Washington Lee; that they call him Uncle Wash Lee down in the Virginia hills where he lives. After carefully checking up, he said he was the father of fifty stalwart sons and charming daughters, grandfather of 125 happy and more or less prosperous men and women, boys and girls, and great or great-great-grandfather to 27 cute little cusses with a complexion ranging from cold tar to lilly-white. Uncle Wash said he had been married three times in the course of his long, useful career, and that "interesting events" have been so frequent at his home that the neighbor women actually became weary of making confidential predictions. When I heard Uncle Wash's fecundity recital, and thought of Arthur Gray, Wash Woods and Link Brown, I could not help but think that when it comes to patriotism and a proper elucidation of recundity Uncle Wash Lee is not only entitled to the Noble Peace Prize, but to the summa cum laude from Prof. Miller's education factory up on the hill. *** Speaking about Prof. Miller calls to mind a little confab I heard last Tuesday night up at Barry's colored coin receiver, up on Fourteenth Street. When I call it "Colored coin receiver," I mean that all them there beautiful fixtures just put in were paid or by coin received from colored false prototypes of Russell Sage who take it up every evening and band it over to Barry to bill more houses and start more bank accounts. But getting back to terra firma as Rev. Simon Drew would say in his sermon on "Death in the Dish Rag," I overheard discussing up at Barry's last Tuesday night four chromos who posed as "degree" fellows from Howard. They got to discussing the opening of the college year, the super-annuated commodity who holds down the prexy job, and who is really the big noise up there. One of them said bow-wows in fifteen minutes if it wasn't for George Wellington Cook; and one said Prof. Moore was the real cheese that stirred up the atmosphere at Howard. Another one said that Doc Jim Waring was the whole trustee board and that the trustee board run the factory. The Progressive in the bunch said Prof. Miller the college would go to the dimnition was the only thirteen-inch gun on the hill, the most effective submarine navigating in that vicinity, that in fact he was the real big noise you could hear of when you got fifteen or more miles from the campus. The argument got spirited, so spirited that they overlooked ordering drinks, until Armond Scott walked in to get a glass of vichy water, and noticing them arguing with nothing before the house, ordered up three Budweisers and a glass of apricot brandy for the disputants. I didn't remain to learn whether they kept up the dispute or not, or whether Armond was made arbiter or not. I simply sneaked when the fellow what ordered an apricot brandy stuck his bill into the nectar, for I recall he was the guy that gave a temperance talk one Sunday last winter at our church and exploded a lot of stuff about men going into saloons and drinking liquors were the leaders of young men down the greeze road to hell. Yet, there he was in a saloon, and drinking the "accursed liquor" while discussing George Cook, who hates liquor like a German uhlan hates a cossack. When comes to consistency commend me to these daubs who knows everything and tells everything. \*\*\* I, myself, think Prof. Miller is the trumbo of Howard. He is some noise throughout the country. While hesitating on my vacation at Atlantic City this summer, every bathing suit I met, when they learned I lived in Washington, asked me if I was personally acquainted with Prof. Miller. Of course, in order to give myself a national aspect, I told them Kelly and I—to be familiar, I called him "Kelly"—were bosom friends, played chess together every night his wife didn't require him to do the week's washing. "Oh, yes," said I, puffing out my chest, "Kell and I are just like two peas in a pod." And they all fell for it. Fact is, I just know Prof. Miller and that's all. He, perhaps, doesn't know whether I am square with my lodge, or whether I owe Aaron Gaskins for the last two rounds. I notice, when away, and especially a place like Atlantic City where the bone spavins from all directions congregate—the men to blow the money they owe, and the women to display their forms in a bathing suit, the next person in Washington most asked about is Bill Chase. I always tell them that Bill never writes an editorial without sending me the copy to read before it goes to the printshop. They all fall for that, too, and I usually get a few Manhattants. Martinis, and dinners on my supposed connection with Bill Chase. Judge Terrell and Roscoe Bruce run a neck-an-neck race for third place in the country-wide-heard-ofs who navigate around Washington. The Judge's reputation as a story teller has reached from Bangor, Maine, to Datonia, Fla., when I used to sling hash in a winter resort. Roscoe is known because there ain't never been a time when he ain't been in the center of a free-for-all school fight or scandal. Of course, I razzle-dazzled them with the dope that I drink with my friends three times a day, and usually dine at Roscoe's twice a week, just because his family dotes on me. Nothing like passing for the real thing when you get over to Atlantic City with a lot of other phoneys. \*\*\* Untre nouse, as Wash Woods would say when Harry Reynolds drops around with a bottle of Cascade just in the offing, have you heard the latest? The dope is being spread in secret places that there are about four bachelors what will move over into the oppressed benedict's row this winter. Murmuring gossip Quality Row variety, says Prot Woodson may hoist anchor and take to sea; that Johnny Cromwell, the best mathematician in the schools may flank some lady's right, that Will Dulany is all set for another grapple with Madame Matrimony and that Tom Clark has revived the rumor that celebacy is becoming very irksome to him. The thought that all four of these will send me an invite if they commit suicide, has induced me to pay up my balance at Hecht, 'cause I might want four of their dollar - down - and - a - dollar-a-month wedding presents for these boys Hiram Gray, too, they say, has been figuring on what it costs to furnish a house, Selah! Election and Installation Election and Installation. The Grand Commandery. Knights Templar of the District of Columbia, met in annual conclave October 12. Kt. Em. Grand Commander Chas. D.

After the couple had received the congratulations of friends, a delightful supper, which included a delicious punch, was served, and all testified to the culinary skill of the charming hostess. Those present included the friends of the groom, among whom were representatives of the Havre National and Farmers' State Banks, the Land Office, and county officers, with their ladies. The bride is a daughter of the McGuinns of Virginia, who are well known and highly respected, and the groom is one of Havre's best known and valued citizens.

D.-Plants with potatoes on their roots and tomatoes on their tops, raised here by H. E. Benson, may yet place him in the garden wizard class with the famous Burbank. In appearance the plants are of the ordinary potato variety, but at their tops are large bulbs resembling tomatoes in both meat and seeds. Whether or not these are the ordinary potato balls often seen or a growth caused by the mixing of the pollen of the tomato and potato blossom is not certain, although the latter explanation of the odd combination plant is believed to be the true one. U. S. TO SHOW FARMER HOW TO MAKE PROFIT To Conduct Farm Survey School With Experts as Teachers. Washington.—Professor William J. Spillman, chief of the office of farm management, department of agriculture, is making arrangements for the holding of a farm management survey school here in November when field agents of his office will be in Washington attending an annual conference. A week will be devoted to the survey, which will take place on farms nearby in Virginia. The "school" will be conducted by experts of Professor Spillman's office. "A farm management survey," said Professor Spillman, "takes in every possible item in the business of the farms included. The purpose is to ascertain which farms in a given community are being successfully and profitably operated, which farms are 'making a living' and which are being operated at a loss. "Thirteen such surveys have been made up to date in as many states. Those already made have been of real benefit to this office and to the farmers affected directly by them. "For example, the surveys show that many farmers fall to get a maximum of work out of their farm and mals, their help and themselves because of lack of foresight. Instead of so arranging their work that they will be profitably employed all the year many have entirely too much to do at one time and little or nothing to do at other times. Consequently their farm animals frequently do not pay for their keep for considerable periods because of lack of profitable employment. "The work of our field agents is to acquaint themselves with the facts developed by the surveys and then assist the farmers in applying scientific methods which have proved successful. Where a farmer is not planning his work so as to secure a maximum of profit from his employment ways and means to accomplish this end are pointed out to him. Where he is raising crops that are unprofitable the facts and figures are laid before him in a convincing way. Beason a Long and Fruitful One In Alaskan Waters. Astoria, Ore.-The arrival of the tender Akutan to go into winter quarters from the Bristol bay district, Alaska, brings news of a record breaking salmon pack in that part of the world. There was a steady run of fish during the season, which lasted later than ever before. Every available can was filled, and at the Nushagak river canneries alone there was a shortage of cans equal to 20,000 cases of fish. At all other factories shortages existed. None was prepared for the tremendous run of salmon. After all the cans were filled the fishing was stopped. The Nushagak river canneries totalled 546,200 cases. Scientific investigation is clearing up some of the mysteries of the salmon, refuting the idea that all die in spawning and other fallacies. It is stated by State Fish Warden R. E. Clanton that there is no specific limit to the distance which salmon will ascend the streams in which they deposit their spawn. They continue to travel upstream as far as the depth of water will permit swimming or until they reach some insurmountable obstacle. The recorded government limit is Alturas lake, Idaho, 7,335 feet. WOMAN KILLS A LIONESS; Wounded Animal Was In Search of Her Stolen Cubs. Reno, Nev.—Mrs. George Ellery, wife of a trapper, whose cabin is near Unlonville. Nev., saved her own life and that of her three-year-old child by killing a big mountain lioness with a blow from a rifle after the animal, wounded, had charged her. Ellery, trapped three lion cubs. He believes they were the lioness' litter and that she trailed him to the cabin. Mrs. Ellery saw the lioness watching the cabin and called the baby, playing outside. Then she reached for a rifle. She took one shot at the lioness, but only wounded it. The animal then rushed at the woman. Mrs. Ellery stepped back to give her a clear swing with the rifle and brought the butt down on the head of the lioness; killing it. Tulsa, Okla. — Senator Robert L. Owen has made a personal appeal to President Wilson for a pardon for George Duncan, a Cherokee Indian, serving a life sentence in Leavenworth Federal prison. Since his incarceration he has achieved fame as a bandmaster and composer. Men prominent in all the walks of life in this state have joined in the appeal for his pardon. Duncan was an illiterate boy of sixteen when convicted of the murder of an Indian territory farmer near Wagoner ten years ago. The wife of the murdered man, a woman twice Duncan's age, was tried as an accomplice, but was acquitted. The theory of the government was that she was the investigator Duncan insisted that he was alone in the crime. His paternal grandfather, a Cherokee chief, was one of the famous old time "fiddlers" in Indian territory After entering prison Duncan took up music and soon became proficient at it. Eventually his musical ability attracted the attention of the prison authorities, and he was placed in charge of the band, which now has twenty-six members and is the equal of any musical organization in Kansas. Many band pieces composed by him are played throughout the United States, and his admirers rank him with Sousa and other American composers of band music. He has also acquired a first class education along general lines while in prison. A typical "hill billy" upon entering prison, he is now one of the most attractive looking men in the Leavenworth institution. Judge Peter Delchman of Tulsa, before whom Duncan and the woman were tried, has joined in the appeal for his pardon. SEARED BY 13.000 VOLTS. Electricity Which Didn't Kill Him Cut Grant's Footprints In Stone. Burlington, N. J.-Although 13,000 volts of electricity passed through his body John Grant of this city is alive and physicians say he has a good chance of recovery. Grant is employed at the new power plant of the Public Service corporation at Reubens Point, West Burlington. He took hold of a high tension wire and in a twinkling was hurled thirty feet across the room, but not before the current had passed through his body and cut a clear outline of both shoes in the concrete flooring. Fellow workmen thought Grant was dead, but a physician revived him, and he was rushed to the hospital here. His hands and feet are seared to the bones. Would Call on the Kaiser.

PLAGUE STIRRED UNCLE SAM Discovery of Disease In June Started Campaign Which Was Waged Relentlessly Until All Danger Had Passed—Pleison and Traps Are Used, and Deals Are Made Ratproof. New Orleans. — The federal government is helping this city to rid itself of rats, those carriers of the fleas that carry the bubonic plague. On June 19 a case of bubonic plague was discovered here. A hurry call was sent to the public health service, and a strenuous campaign was started to stamp it out. The government was concerned in preventing its spread to other sections of the country. And the task is costing the government $27,000 a month. There are three kinds of rats, but the worst is the Norwegian rat. He is the nomad of the rodent family, a militant brute that soon cleans out all others of his tribe. It is he who carries the fleas whose bite causes bubonic plague. And he carries it everywhere. Plague is thought to have reached New Orleans from the orient via Liverpool, which trades largely with the east. The rats are being exterminated with poison and with traps. Several expert rodentologists were brought from San Francisco, and they have trapped as many as 7,774 rats in a single week. Thousands of rodents have been examined for infected fleas, and in all 121 plague stricken rats have been found. About twenty-five cases of plague among humans have developed, with six deaths. No new cases have been reported among humans for some time, but infected rats are constantly being trapped. A few days ago a Chinese restaurant was condemned and demolished, and in the process no fewer than thirteen rats bearing plague parasites were found. The fight has been going on since early June, and the situation is now well in hand. Various bodies planning to hold conventions in New Orleans have been notified that the city is quite safe. But the battle is by no means over. The Norwegian rnt is a hardy brute, and there is always danger of a fresh outbreak. It is a herculean job to ratproof an ancient rabbit warren of a city like New Orleans. The city has been divided into districts, each under the charge of a doctor of the public health service, and a survey has been made of each district, of all rat breeding or rat harboring places noted, and now they are cleaning up the place. Holes are being stopped up, buildings raised or lowered so that they clear the ground sufficiently to allow free circulation of air and sunshine or else bug it too closely to afford shelter to the rodent, walls and foundations are being fixed to keep the rats from getting through. Nulsances have been abated in over a thousand places, and disinfectant and fumigation chemicals are being used liberally. Standing garbage, stable refuse and the like are anathema. Permits for keeping chickens are being revoked, for chicken feed is a great attractor of rats. The wharves and docks and the railway freight yards are being gone over. Every ship before leaving the port is fumigated with sulphur or carbon monoxide. An attempt is being made to ratproof the wharves, but it is only partially successful, for a really ratproof wharf must be almost entirely of concrete. New Orleans being a great distributing center for freight for the west and southwest, an enormous number of freight cars must be inspected, ratproofed if necessary or fumigated. In one week over 3,000 were inspected, of which seven were condemned. Infant mortality, particularly from summer bowel complaints and the like, has fallen greatly since the beginning of the anti-plague crusade; so has the general death rate. The federal public health service has more than 200 men engaged in the work here under the leadership of Dr. William C. Rucker. Surgeon General Blue visited the city at the beginning to look the situation over, bringing with him Dr. Creel, who stamped out the plague at Porto Rico. SOUND AS A DOLLAR AT 105. Venerable Mississippiian Has Strong Eyes and Good Teeth. Jackson, Miss.-The New Albany Garette has discovered a citizen of Union county, J. J. Terry, who is 105 years of age, reads without glasses, has sound teeth and appears good for several years to come. Terry was born in Lawrence county. Ala., Oct. 14, 1809. In September, 1910, he lost his wife, with whom he had lived sixty-three years and who was the mother of nine children. Mr. Terry had a sister, who lived to the age of 108 years, and a brother who was 102 when gathered to his fathers. The old man came to a picnic on horseback, sitting as straight as an Indian. His hair and beard are long and snow white. END OF THE WAR CORRESPONDENT To Prison Is as Far as They Can Go With Armies. GEN. JOFFERE MOST SEVERE. French Officers Most Polite When Very Angry—Writer Tells of Being Arrested, His Automobile Requisitioned and Two Nights Spent In a Barn With Prisoners and French Deserters. Paris.—Burglar in a miser's money box are welcome parties compared to correspondents on the firing line. War corresponding has come to be a prison offense in France. General Joffra simply won't have it. Describing his experiences one of the correspondents in France says: "I have just passed two days under guard at the front, one day under guard in Paris—part of the time in the famous military prison of the Cherche-Midi—and eight days of parole, all because General Joffre refuses to have correspondents giving his war operations the once over at close range. "And I was not the only member of this 'seeing the war' party. There were seven of us in all—three of us and a chauffeur in our own party. We had by rare good luck witnessed an action around the French left wing and were bound toward the center, at Rhelms, when it happened. It was a merry captain who pinched us. "Hey," he called out gayly, 'where are you folks going?' "To Rhelms,' we chorused. 'How far is it?' "Let's go ask the general,' he said and laughed. "Slowly we were oozed into what the joke was. It was on us. The general said Rhelms was seven miles away and quite too far to walk. "Oh, we have a car! we chirped, not comprehending the general's grim humor. "Oh, I've requisitioned that!' he said. 'Captain, will you escort the gentlemen out?' "The captain would and did escort us out; also in. Imagine a country village where there isn't even a railway depot, where a postoffice, government tabac, three farmhouses and several cow lots are bunched together, and you will have the scene of our arrest. Imagine agali a stone farmhouse built in U formation with a stone fence across the top of the U and the ground plan of our prison will be clear. If you add to the center of the cow lot a tableland of hay and other stable rukings, the whole thing wet and very smelly under the cold drizzle, the picture will be fairly complete. "Through a gate in the stone wall we were conducted by our smiling captain. On the right was a door leading into the colonel's quarters—the rooms of the farmhouse. At the back were two more doors through one of which I spied two of the biggest cows I ever saw. "We were ushered into this. The room was identical with the cows' bedchamber. German prisoners., French deserters, spies, suspects and pillagers stood or lay about on the hay which covered the floor. "We were put on parole not to try to get away. They took our word for it that we would not run, but to make sure, they kept a sentry at the gate with instructions to shoot if we showed any incination to flee. They were very, very nice about it, insisting all the time that we were positively not considered prisoners — as prisoners were entitled to soldiers' rations and we were not. "A kick about quarters among the prisoners—since we were not prisoners and would be shot only if we ran—got for us an empty hay loft and the proper use of money got us hay to sleep on. "On the morning of the second day our own car was given to us, and we were taken to Paris—an armed gendarme going with us. Arriving late in the evening, we had dinner in the corridor of the Cherche-Midi military prison. We were shifted between midnight and 1 a. m. to the Invalides, where in the shadow of Napoleon's tomb we slept in officers' beds. Then we were released. "The war correspondent's game is gone—that is, the game as it used to be. No more will the correspondent tell generals how to fight their battles and also, perhaps, no more will the generals have fine battle cries put into their mouths and become famous for having uttered them. The prison doors yawn for war writers and the lid is on." SEVEN MONTHS IN A CAVE. Aged Farmer and Three Little Girls Saved From Starving. Benville, Ark.—After existing seven months in a cave with almost nothing to eat except what the woods about them provided William Ewing, an aged man, and his three little girls were rescued from starvation. Two years ago Ewing was a prosperous farmer near here. Misfortunes piled upon him. His wife died and sickness took away his grown son and daughter. Floods destroyed his crops, his cattle died and fire burned his home. For a while he lived with his babies upon the bounty of neighbors, but left abruptly and his whereabouts was a mystery for a long time.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY Increase in Membership—Brilliant Record of the Institution—Increase Over Last Year. The record that Howard University has made this year surpasses any previous record since the establishment of this great institution of learning. The total enrollment of Howard University has reached the 1,500 mark, an increase of ten over the previous year, and it is considered a strong probability that the number will stay at or above that figure. This information is contained in the annual report just made by the president, Stephen M. Newman, to the Secretary of the Interior of the United States, covering the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914. That the needs of the institution, in view of this increase, are undiminished, is the declaration of President Newman, who, in conclusion, says: Service Grows In Importance. "The service which Howard University is rendering the country is growing in importance every year. Our collegiate and professional graduates are going out every year into all parts of the United States and taking important places among the people. But the increased responsibilities thrown upon the university by the growth of numbers and the development of educational methods presses us down with need for more and larger buildings and added teachers. "The needs mentioned in my last report exist today in greater measure than ever. For the first time in the history of the university the total enrollment has gone above 1,500. It is probable that the number will stay above that figure. This makes our needs critical. Training of Students. "We try to train our students not only in classroom work, but in patriotism and morals. Civic duties are emphasized by many lectures. A spirit of service is cultivated. We commend this university as one of the great wholesome and beneficial institutions of the country." The students in attendance on various courses during the last year were from no less than thirty-seven states and seven foreign countries. The total number was exactly 1,500, this number including thirty-seven who took theological courses by correspondence. Graduates of the class of 1914 numbered 221, ranging in number from one, in the school of manual arts and applied sciences, to forty-nine in the college of arts and sciences, and including nineteen in theology, thirty-two in medicine, twenty-three in dentistry, twenty-five in law and nine in pharmacy. Report of Treasurer. Two students applied for admission to the library school established last year, and while they found that they could not remain therein owning to press of other work, four have applied for admission next session. The report of the treasurer shows that the total income for all purposes was $201,061.66 and the total expenditures for all purposes amounted to $203,181.63. The funds endowed for general and specific purposes -total $302,736.21 and the income therefrom is $13,559.03. Funds appropriated by Congress and disbursed through the chief disbursing clerk of the Interior Department amounted to $101,000. THE Y. M. C. A. Mrs. Beckett Succeeds Mr. Johnson. Mr. Lewis E.

CARDINAL GIBBONS At Confirmation Service at St. Cyprian Church. The great prelate preached to a large congregation morning and evening, and confirms 240 children. Two hundred and forty children and several adults were confirmed by James Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, at St. Cyprian's Colored Catholic Church, Thirteenth and C Streets Southeast, Sunday morning. The confirmation ceremony followed the solemn high mass, which was celebrated by Rev. Francis F. Clair, of the Redemptorist Order, of Annapolis. Father Clair was assisted by the Rev. James J. O'Connor, of St. Augustine's Church, as deacon, and the Rev. P. J. Richie, assistant pastor of St. Cyprian's Church, as subdeacon. The pastor of St. Cyprian's Church, the Rev. James R.

He instructed the children on the meaning of confirmation, and emphasized the loyalty which those confirmed owe to the church. He urged the instruction of colored children as well as white children in religious matters, and congratulated the pastor upon the work being done in his parish. The procession at the close of the ceremonies was led by the priests, and the children and adults who had been confirmed followed. The priests marched around the church and to the rectory, where Cardinal Gibbons was entertained in the afternoon. Other priests who were present at the ceremony was Mgr. James F.

Cardinal Gibbons expressed his gratitude at having an opportunity to visit St. Cyprian's parish.

Onr text Is from the Master’s own lips —a part of His description of the. trouble coming upon the world in the close of this Gospel Age, preparatory to the inanguration of the Millennial Age and its glorious manifestation of righteousness under the King of kings. The Master was answering a ques- tion asked by His disciples respecting the End of the Age and the signs which would mark {ts close. In the context our Lord had.told them that they might expect to hear of wars and tumults, bot not to be terrified; for although such things would occur; they would not be indications that the end 6f the Age wns near. Then, com- dng to the events to be expected at the close of the Age, He used the words of our text. He also declared that before these terrible \udications of the End of the Age, His disciples would suffer persecutions in the synagogues, churcb- es, etg, for His sake and for the ‘Truth’s sake.

Our Adventist friends have also been galling attention to Scriptures predict- dng great tribulation upon the world in the very near future; but our mes- eage {9 a very different one from theirs and ts used for a very different porpese.

We hold with the Scriptures that “the earth abldeth forever”; that cold and heat. summer and winter, will continue us long’ as the earth remains; and that God made not the earth in vain, but formed it to be inhabited.—Ecclesiastes 1:4; Genesis 8:22; Isaiah 45:18 We have already pointed out that - the fire of this Day of the Lord will be a symbolic one, just as the “fiery trials” of the Church throughout this Age have not generally consisted even tm part of Hteral fire; and that the fiery troubles coming upon the world ‘will overthrow present institutions— political, social, financial and religious —and will engulf the whole world in anarchy. In the Scriptures this {s symbolically called in some places ¢ flood and fn others.a consuming fre.

In the Revelation this same thought 1s expressed under the figure of @ mighty earthquake, the lke of which there had not been before and will never be thereafter, (Revelation 16:18! ‘Throughout the Apocalypse the term earthquake Is used to symbolically rep- Tesent revolution. What we are to ex- pect, then, will be a great revolution. @ great earthquake, the great shaking of- the present institutions which will overthrow everything that Is not of the Lord's establishuient and approval. | In the Divine order there ecems tc be a harmony between the Iiteral and the figurative; therefore the literal earthquakes have thelr part to play in the great Program. Not only are they to serve the Church as signs corrob- orating the prophecies respecting the approach of the great Time of Trouble which closes this Gospel Age, but they are to serve also another purpose—a particular purpose. ‘The Scriptures clearly Intimate that our physical earth has not yet attained the grand perfection which the Lord designs that it should have, to be fit for the blessed ones whose home, as | the Paradise of God. it shall be throughout all eternity. Be {t noticed | it the Scriptures clearly polnt out . 1 the Little Flock, called of God slarmg this Gospel Age to beithe Bride of Christ, are to experience a change of nature from human to spirit, which will prepare them for Heavenly condi- uons, spiritual conditions.

We are well aware that the natural man and his scientific leaders will consider the assoclation of the facts of our day with the words ut- tered more than eighteen centuries ago as very foolish. We are aware that they will say, as the Apostle Peter de- clared they would, that “all things continue as they have been from the foundation of the world,” and that such changes have been golng on, and will continue to do so, without any relationship to our Lord's Second Presence and the Time of Trouble with which this Age will end. (2 Pe- ter 3:3, 4.) This is thelr view—the re- verse 1s ours. ‘Tho Word of God teaches us that at this time of transition from the Gospel Age to the Messianic Age we are to expect wonderful contortions of na- ture and some radical changes tp the earth's condition, in order that {t may be the better adapted to the wants of man throughout eternity. It ts God's own declaration that He will make the place of His feet glorious—the earth. His “footstool.”—Isalah 60:13; 66:1. Evidently great and wonderful changes will be effdcted, some of which will be brought about gradual- ty. For instance, we all know of the gradual change of the temperate zone Its extension further and further to- ward the poles. We notice also the Increasing; moderation nearer to the equator. Those who recognize the Power of God can have full conf dencé that He ts able to perform all the glorious promises of His Word re specting the paradisaical conditions of this earth for the use of mankind dur ing the Milleunial Age and the ages tc follow, S8ymbolical Earthquakes—Revolutions. As already Intlmated, social upheay. als are pictured in the Word of God under the symbolism of earthquakes. “mountains carried into the sea,” ete. Aimilarly, uprisings of the social ele ments in anarcby are pictured as tidal ‘waves engulfing the “mountains”—gor. ernments. This is one of the most forceful pictures used, not only in the Pralms, but also in the Revelation and in our Lord’s symbolical reference tc the great Time of Trouble which {s near at hand. Of this tlmie the Proph. et Daniel has declared that {t will be “a Time of Trouble such as was no since there was a nation;” and ou! | Lord, when quoting this prophecy | adds, “No, nor ever shall be.—Dante | 12:1; Matthew 24:21, Let us not be misunderstood to be ad yocating anarchy or revolution of any kind.

UDAS hatled trom Southern Pal- estine, while the other eleven of Jesus’ disciples were Gall- leans. It ts inferred that be- cause of superior business qualities Judas was made treasurer of the Apos- tolic company. Friends of Jesus noted that He and His disciples needed to give thelr entire time to the heralding of the Kingdom It Is not strange, therefore, that we read that some vol- untarily donated money for their sup- port—Luke 8:3, Such voluntary donations made It proper that there should be @ treasurer for the company, and that he should be of superior, business acumen. We ‘Gnd no reason for believing that Judas ywas a bad man when selected by Jesus to bo an Apostle, We bave every rea- son to believe that he developed @ bad character even under the most favora- ble infuences—in the continual com- pany of Jesus and the other Apostles, and with the Message of the Kingdom continually tn bis ears. There was, however, @ beginning of his deflection; and the Scriptures intimate that his temptation came along the lines of avarice, selfishness, love of money. It is still true that “the love of money is ‘a root of all eviL” c A Fulfilment of Prophecy. Afterward, apparently, the disciples learned that Judas was a thief (John 12:6). Doubtless even when appropri- ating moneys contributed to the sup- port of the little company, Judas could have some plausible excuse; for sin {s always deceptive. Brooding on the subject increased his desire for money, and fed his active business mind to hatch out the plot for the betrayal of Jesus. ‘The record ts that when Judas per- ceived that Jesus had been condemned. be took the money back to the chief priests, wishing to undo his deed. ‘They laughed at him, declaring that i ‘yas no concern of theirs, but his own, ff he bad betrayed innocent blpod.

No Hope of a Resurrection. We are uot suggesting excuses for Judas. No excise can properly be of- fered for treachery to God and His Cause. We merely polnt out the fact that every transgressor must first con- sent in bis own mind to bls wrong course; the mind, the conscience, must be perverted before each step of sin Hence Jesus’ words are fully justified: “It had been good for that man had he not been born.” Such treachery, such willingness to hand over bis Friend, his Teacher, the One whom he had accepted as the Son of God and through whom he had ex- pected the Messiante Kingdom, was perfidy of the worst type.

PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. The priests of China are said to be the cleverest men in the world at many things. They often insert tiny images of Buddha within the shells of living oysters, which are left undis- turbed for a year afterward. At the end of this time the images are cov- ered with mother-of-pearl to such an extent that they appear to have grown in this manner naturally. The Chinese hold‘ these shells in the greatest reverence, believing — that Buddha dwells therein. Should a Christian chance to look upon one, however, the Chinaman will careless- ly toss the little image away, believ- ing that the charm has departed for- ever, because of the white man’s pro- faning gaze.
