YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER FOURTEENTH YEAR A New Industrial School Savannah, Ga. (Special)—An industrial school for Negroes, to be patternee after Booker T. Washington't institute at Tuskegee Ala., will be established in Savannah by next September, if the plans of prominent Negro educators and ministers do not miscarry. A tract of twenty-two and a half acres located in Central park, two miles on the White Bluff road has been donated for this purpose, there being a proviso in the donation calling for the erection of a school building not to cost less than $3,000. The Negao miuisters of the Meth odist church here have undertak en the task of carrying out the provisions of the gift. Rev. Richard D. Stnson, principal of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute for Negroes of Atlanta is in Savannah for purpose of looking over the situation here. He has been urged to take the principalship of the proposed new school, and his inspection of the tract of land and investigation of the possibilities today will determine his acceptance or refusal of the proffered position. In the event of his refusal to accept the place he has promised to secure an efficient and capable man The Atianta school of which he is now head is a strong one and is doing very effective work. It is doubtful if he would want to give up that school to become principal of one here. He has confidence, however, that the new school in Savannah would prove a success, and he will closely identify himself with its organization whether or not he decides to become its principal. Reverend Stinson is one of the best trained and most prominent Negroes educators in the South and the Savannah ministers who are behind the proposition feel they could not get a better man to launch the new school.

The income from the land is to pay expenses of poor students. Claisification Of The Races Of The World. So much is being said concerning the "yellow peril" and of the increasing intelligence of all of the dark races that a brief summary of the population of the world as divided between the white and the dark or colored races is peculiarly interesting The whites include the Hindus Persians, Greeks, Latins, Celts and Anglo-Saxons, or all the people of Aryan stock, who number approximately 690,000,000 while the dark or colored races include 630,000,000. Mongolian or yellow people; 150,000,000 Negro or black; 35,030,000 Maly or brown and 15,000,000 Indian or red, a total of 830,000,000 people of the dark races as compared with 690,000,000 whites. The difference of 140,000,000 in favor of the dark races seems to be a cause of serious apprehension in certain parts of the world, and it is thought that the militant stride of the Japanese will be copied by the Chinese and prove a source of inspiration to the other dark races. From every quarter of the globe comes disquieting news. Even in this country, where the Negroes gave 240 or more years of unrequited toil, they are treated as aliens and through the process of elimination on account of color they share the humiliation of the Japanese and Chinese. But the dark skinned people throughout the entire world are awakening. The cloud of ignorance is rapidly passing away be fore a favorable breeze of intelligence. They are asking the whites for a square deal, and it is feared by the "alarmists" that within the course of a few years the request will grow more intistent and finally take the form of a demand. After that what? Edward Price of Dothan Ala. woy is said to be the largest Negro merchant in the state, has recently built in the heart of the business district a substautial brick structure, 50 by 125 feet. two stories high. The cost of the building and ground is $10, 000; the yearly volume of the business amounts to $30,000. Jefferson City, Mo.—The state legislature appropriated $6,500 for a Home for Negro Girls. SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1911. Tuskegee Commencement Tuskegee Alabama May 1. The annual Commencement Exercises of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, will begin on Sunday May 21st, with the delivery of the Commencement Sermon, by Bishop John C Kilgo, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. These exercises promise to eclipse in point of attendance and interest, that of any previous Commencement at the institution. The Seventeenth Anniversary Exercises of the Phelps Hall Bible Training School will be held Monday May 22nd at 7:30 o'clock p.m. in the Institute Chapel. One of the most interesting events of Commencement Week is that of the Trinity church Boston Prize Contest, which takes place on Tuesday May 23rd in the Institute Chapel at 7:30 p.m. The special Commencement Dao Exercises on Thursday May 25th will begin at 10:30 a.m. after drill by the entire battalion and a second session in the afternoon at 2:00 p.m. concluding with the delivery of the annual Commencement Address by Judge Robt. H. Terrel of the Municipal Court of the Dlstrict of Columbia. Among the graduates on program will be Julius Freeman of Wilson N. C., and Acie Jones of Thomasville Ga., the Valeditorian and Salutatorian, who will speak on on Industrial as well as on Academic subjects. There will also be a panoramic display of the trades, illustrating the work as actually carried on in the different shops and divisions of the school. The various divisions of the school will be in operation during the week and on May 25th. Visitors and friends of the institution will have ample opportunity to inspect the work of the students. Special arrangements have been made for the accommodation of all visitors, and probably a great many people will take advantage of this opportunity to visit the institution. Open, round trip, reduced railroad rates can be secured to reach Tuskegee during Commencement. For the convenience of visitors attending this occasion a special train will be operated from Montgomery to Tuskegee and return, and also from Opelika and intermediate points to Tuskegee, on May 25th. Colored Soldiers For National Guard. Assemblyman Cuvillier has recently introduced a bill in the legislature at Albany N. Y., providing for the organization of a regiment of colored men. The measure has already received the favorable consideration of the war department. The colored citizens of New York city and vicinity have been advocating such a measure for the past six months. The addition of a regiment of a thousand colored soldiers to the national guard of New York will mean much. More Loyalty Needed. Loyalty to one another is needed more by the Negro than any existing race. They are scattered and will not cling together in many instances. And as long as they fall apart, the chances are slim for a powerful race of black men in America. As a rule, the Negro will not support his own enterprises, he rather support those of other races, and he seeks to overthrow the Negro in business by disseminating improper and untrue remarks among the people, that are in most cases emphatically impressed upon their minds. You must wipe out this grudge and prejudice among yourselves You must deal with one another as other races to and be loyal. Senator W. O. Bradley of Kentucky, has introduced a bill to appropriate $250,000 to aid in holding an exposition in celebration of the semi-centennial anniveusary of the freedom of the Negroes in this country. There is little likelihood that the bill will pass. Chicago Ill.—Cononel John R. Marshall heads the list of eleven officers of the Illinois national guard to attend the school of instructions at San Antonio Tex. Commissioner Leach Deserves Much Credit. City Commissioner E. M. Leach, head of the park and public buildings has appointed Thos G. Banks as elevrtor man at the City building; Spencer W. Lee as custodian of the City Hall. Each of these are representative creditable places and in the case of elevator man and custodian of the City Hall and Eorum these are entirely new places for colored men. We extend to Mr. Leach due credit and we believe that every colored person in our city fully appreciate this mark of recognition extended them by Commissioner B. M. Leach. A Good Session.

During the early eighties she came with her parents to Kansas, this city, where the family has since resided. Her schooling was received in the public schools of this city. Sixteen years ago she was converted, joined the Macedonio church and was baptised by Rev. N. C. Robinson. In July, 1902 she was elected church clerk in which capacity she diligently served the church until December, 1909. She was very active in the work of both the Sunday school and the church; faithful at all times in the discharge of what she believed to be her duty. She was not only active locally as a Christian worker but had taken part for a number of years in the work of the church as a whole in the state. She was married to Mr. J. R. Robin of Pittsburg. Kan., by whom she is survived, Christmas day, 1909. Death occurred at 12:15 o'clock p. m. Thursday, May 4, 1911. She was, therefore, 32 years and 7 months of age. She leaves a husband, mother, father, two sisters, a brother and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. The deceased was a member of Charity Rose Tabernacle No. 24 of which she had been a meber since 1905. PRATT KANSAS Miss Ethel Anderson of Newton is visiting with her aunt Mrs. A. A. Fox.

And, Rosamond, don’t you think it will be nice to have these old books of ours in here—“Arabian Nights” and “Gul- liver’s Travels” and “Pilgrim's Prog- ress” and those? I'll just put them here as if we had accidentally left them, and it will make it seem like home to him.” “Oh, Mirlam, what a funny idea!” exclaimed Rosamond, as she threw her arms about her sister's neck. “Isn't It just the jolliest thing that ever happened? And 1 know he's going to be such a nice boy. 1 can dust Imagine how he 1s going to lke your gingerbread and coffee cake, and custard pie. Boys always like sweet things.” “Yes,” went on her sister with the exeltement of anticipation, “and sometimes we will leave things for him to eat in his sitting room here, #0 that when he comes in late at night he won't have to go to bed hungry. I suppose he will be going to lots of the college things at night. I have had an extra night key made for him, you know.” Rosamond had sunk to the floor at her sister's side and the two sat Jaughing together. “Of course,” sald the elder, sudden- ly grave, ‘we mustn't let him know that he isn’t working his way. He can sweep the walks and mow the lawn and tend to the fire and the ashes—” “Yes,” agreed Rosamond, slowly, “put if he ever forgets, and of course he will, we mustn't say anything about {t. Of course, he will have to study hard and take in all the col- lege sports. I know he will be inter- ested in everything.” This was the afternoon of Freshman Cook's arrival, and the last finishing touches of the preparation, that had been going on for months, for thelr expected guest, were in process. Rosamond, nearly thirty, and Mir. fam somewhat older, had decided the previous pring that they would like to help a poor student. They lived in a college town where their father had, before his death, been a professor, and in the college were focussed their in- terests. Even Rosamond had long since given up college games and dances, but student life was still an ever vital source of interest to the two women. They had little money, but they had a large house where they might easily accommodate an extra person. They had asked the kind-hearted president of the college about it and he had seemed pleased with the idea. “There are always young men,” he told them, “who are waiting for such assistance. If you will put it on the basis of self-support I think I can get you a freshman worthy of your Kindness. Let him do all the work about the house, attend to the fur. nace, shovel the snow, run errands, and anything that a boy or man could do. This will not repay you in full for your expense and pains, but tt will put the matter on a more acceptable basis. There are always desirable boys waiting for a chance to work for thelr education, but few like to ac. -cept it as charity.” Later a note came from the prest- dent telling of a Daniel Cook, an ap. plicant for the freshman class, who was greatly in need of assistance. His college course would be imposst- ble but for this timely assisgance, On this brief note and a knowledge ‘of Stanton college freshmen in gen eral, Mirlam and Rosamond Goodwin made preparations for thelr guest. Now everything was in readiness, The supper table had been set with the extra place, and the sllver candle sticks, fitted with fresh pink candles, stood waiting to be lighted. Her work done,- Rosamond sat on the old, vine-covered veranda, trying to fix her mind on the book open be fore her, but in reality planning dozen plans for Daniel Cook, whom she had already come to regard with fond indulgence. ‘ Aman carrying a suitcase was walking up the driveway—a stoop shouldered man of thirty or more. “A book agent,” muttered Rosa mond, impatiently. ‘As she stood before her she caughi the took of eagerness and expectation. In a flash she realized that it was Daniel Cook. e At the end of the second day, Mr, Cook met Rosamond on the veranda. ‘There was a look of disappointment on her face that did not escape him. In the man before her there was nothing of the youthfulness, or spirit, of the poor student for whom she and her sister had planned and. saved all throGgh the summer. “I would like to speak to you a moment,” he began rather nervously. “I think I came here under complete misunderstanding. I thought there would be enough work to do to pay for the privileges I received. I hardly understand what the arrangement {3 to be.” “You can mow the lawn,” suggested Rosamond helplessly, almost tearful. ly, Mr, Cook laugheg. “See here, Miss Goodwin,” he said, “you know you don't want me to stay. You weren't planning for an old bookworm like me. I knew that the moment I saw you, T'll get along somehow.” “But how ean you?” asked Rosa: mond. “You can’t afford to live at the dormitory, can you? Do you want to go?” For a minute Mr. Cook studied the ground in meditation. “I'll tell you what I'll do,” he explained. “I can't accept your kindness unpald, and 1 ‘Teally can’t make good now. If you and your sister will let me stay, and do all I can for you, I'll beg to be your: debtor till 1 get enough money to pay back. If you agree, you'll be helpiug one of the most gratefyy men living. Meantime, let me do /all 1 can.” After a consultation between the two disappointed sisters it was settled as Mr, Cook'desired. The fault lay with the president of the college, and, of course, no one thought of blaming him. By m{d year Danlel Cook had suc- cessfully passed examinations in two years’ work. He had been over the work before by himself and all he needed now was a chance to prove that he was fitted for his degree. Toward June Daniel Cook knew that Bis degree was won. that within a few weeks he would have gained what he had waited, and struggled, so long to get. A second unexpected honor came to him. A position as assistant instructor in the college was opened to him, so that he might continue his post-graduate studies the next year and at the same time earn a fair salary. Before Danfel Cook accepted this honor he came to Rosamond and laid It all before her. She was sitting on the old vine. covered veranda where she had first seen his disappointing figure eight months before. “Til accept on one condition,” he said, and as he looked into her face he saw the color mount high into her cheeks. “I already owe you ev- erything, my degree, my happiness, my future—but I am not satisfied. Rosamond, I want to owe you more. I want you. I want you to love me and to let me spend my whole life proving my gratitude and devotion.” Rosamond clasped for the first time the hand stretched out to her in both of hers. “You know,” she said, “I am too happy to tell you.” Bunching His Hard Luck. “philosophers are not all dead yet,” said the dentist. “I met one this morn- ing who knocked me out ow two hours’ work on a day when I have nothing to do anyhow, and will make me work overtime tomorrow, when I shall be crowded with engagements, He was howling with a toothache. “ ‘Better come around and have it at- tended to,’ I said. “‘Can't today,’ he said. ‘I'm too buay.’ “But you can't work when you are crazy with the toothache,’ I argued. “Oh, yes I can,’ said he. “There are half a dozen other things 1 want done to me that hurt pretty bad, and it Thave them done when my tooth is on the rampage they won't seem so bad, because one hurt will neutralize the other. I always take advantage of a toothache to dispatch those disagree: able jobs.” “Maybe not many people could stand that kind of philosophy, but apparently that man is going to get away with it.” Pity the Neighborhood Druggist. “We do not charge stamps or pos- tal cards,” announced a sign in a drug store. “Surely customers sont ask you to,” fa customer sald, struck by the nov- elty of the sign. The clerk replied: “You'd be surprised at the~things we are asked to do. We are asked not only to charge stamps but to de- ver them as well.” . Just then a mald entered carrying a package to send by express. “Mrs. Dollars says will you please send this package for her and charge it,” the maid said, and walked out. ; The druggist, after telephoning for an expressman to come for the par cel, had to pay express charges of nearly $1.

It has been said that the foundation of the best society is the hearthstone, for upon it has been erected the great- est glory of the world’s greatest achievements. It indicates stability, sturdy character and honest worth. A people without permanent homes never become a nation, but remain a tribe. It-does.not progress, but stands still and deteriorates. It cannot have the highest sense of morality, because the home is the bulwark of morality. If this is true, as appears, we owe @ great deal indeed in this country to the real estate operators, the spec- ulative builders. Seventy-five _ per cent. of all the small and medium- sized dwellings put up in the larger ‘towns and in the city suburbs are built by them. “These houses are not built to the specific instructions or requirements of particular clients, but the speculative builder aims to pro- vide a house that will be generally use- ful, or at any rate, generally salable. Now, this is a perfectly legitimate ‘and by no means an unveasonable method of providing for the needs of a community. The requirements of a great number of families are very ‘much the same and there seems no ‘reason why a builder, or a company which is opening up a large tract of land, should not erect upon it houses of the size and kind that are most ‘readily salable, at the same time ef- fecting economies through buying in large quantities, the duplication of special details, ete. Strange as it may seem, however, speculative builders as a class are not held in the highest esteem, but have rather a reputation for trickery; they “skin the job.” Now, there !s nothing essentially base in producing houses and more than producing other needed commodi- ties, as a commercial speculation; but it must unfortunately be admitted that modern competitive conditions are not favorable to the maintenance of a high standard of excellence in design and construction in the houses built by speculative builders. Although there are houses built speculatively which reach a high standard of design and construction, these are in the minority. ‘There is no reason, however, why a higher standard should not be general. | fice pater 1g } P%Y loons \ o KITCHEN }a4 q JoexIso FF DiniNG Ru | en] WX fl if (Nis ee Ii fl LUTYe i oy HALL i 1oexioe @ LIVING RM sien OXIGO" | PorcH Sh FAKE" : pees 4] PREIS ay Very much depends on the education ‘bf the public in this matter. Every de- cent builder and every decent work- man would rather bnild good houses than bad ones, it rests with the pub- lic to make this possible. They must not expect good houses at the price of }bad ones, and they should regard a builder's reputation for good work as ‘of mote cotsequence than his reputa- tion for cheapness, It might be asked what ideals a home builder should have in planning and constructing his dwelling. He should seek almost be- fore everything to express restfulness and simple comfort. These are the qualities which mark the difference be- tween a mere lodging and a home. Much of the striving after prettiness and picturesqueness, which character- izes many modern houses, destroys the quality of restfulness. Beauty the house must have, but it should come naturally as the outcome of substantial construction and good proportions. Never should beauty be sought by applying ornaments to a structure which has no beauty in it self; the attempt will be futile and wasteful, and it may be that the last state of such a house will be worse than the first. A small house, and every other building, should avoid shams.

Missed Seeing the “Crack” Place, A few years ago one of the oddest and most “original” of American tray- elers did a short European stunt with some friends, most of the “doin’s" be. ‘ing in Paris. When he returned he was asked if he had seen everything in the brilliant French metropolis, “Oh, sure,” he answered in his droll, squeaky voice. “We saw all the great bullyards, and the Champs Eliza, and the Boys der Bologna, though there wasn't a sassidge in sight, and the Jardam Mobile, and the Mooley Rooge, and the rest of the things with names T couldn’t get any tongue around, all but one place which had a sign on all the busses and street cars. That was ‘complet.’ I told the boys it must be a great place, but I never could get them to go there. They said the word meant that the darn thing was full, no seat left, nor straps to hang to, but I'm sure it was the name of sonie erack place, and ff I'd been alone I'd sure got there.” MOST LUSCIOUS FRUIT THREE WAYS OF SERVING DELIC: IOUS STRAWBERRY.

CHOCOLATE AND FRUIT TARTS Recipe for Dessert Dishes That Has the Sanction of Leading Wom- an’s Journal. Make the tarts of puff pastry, leay- Ing as large a space as possible for the filling. In each tart place canned peaches or apricots, from which all the juice has been drained away, and pour over them a chocolate sauce. The sauce is made as follows: Boil one- half pint of milk and grate three ounces of chocolate. Mix a little of the milk with the chocolate until it is smooth; add the rest of the milk and let it boil up; then add one ounce of sugar and a tablespoonful of va- nilla. If the tarts are to be used hot pour on the sauce as soon as it is fin- ished and serve immediately, covering the top with whipped cream. The tarts may also be used cold, and in that case the sauce must be cold when poured over them.—Harper’s Bazar. (TALL AROUND (> or ro ERED Ae.

HAMMOND THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. ENGORDED BY THE BRITISH EMBASSADOR. U.S.S. DELAWARE WHICH WILL REPRESENT THE U.S. MARIN IN THE GREAT These British courtiers will pilot the proxy of President Taft all through the intricate problem of the coronation festivities, telling him NCLC SAM, in one way and another, is to play quite a prominent part in connection with the coronation in June of King George, Great Britain's new monarch. First and foremost, of course, will be the representation, official and unofficial, of the United States at the spectacular exercises in London. But aside from this there will be recognition of the momentous event in the American capital and while it will be, perform, infinitely less showy than the elaborate program in the British metropolis, this echo on this side of the Atlantic will have much of significance for all believers in the hands across the sea tradition. A kingly coronation is always a magnet for tourists and sightseers of all nationalities—as witness the thousands of spectacle-loving Americans who have planned to be in London for the big show early this summer—but no government is expected to send official representatives to a coronation unless specifically invited by the government whose sovereign is to be crowned. However, Uncle Sam was duly invited, all right, to send special envoys to London for this supreme event of British history. Indeed in the present instance, as in the case of the coronation of the late King Edward, the United States was one of the first nations to whom an invitation was dispatched and this is something of an honor, for John Bull invites very few republics to participate in his big celebration and even purposely overlooks some of the less important monarchies in sending out his "bids." From the minute that the state department accepted Brittania's invitation immense interest was aroused all over the country as to whom the president would appoint special ambassador to the coronation. There is no salary attached to the place and the allowance which the government makes for expenses cannot be expected to cover the outlay of a man who has such a position to maintain. But it is a great honor to be sent as coronation envoy—carrying with it such privileges as dinners with the king and queen in addition to choice reserved seats at all the big functions—and so the place is eagerly sought by men who have the wealth to enable them to carry out its obligations. President Taft bestowed this plum upon his close personal friend, John Hays Hammond, the multimillionaire mining engineer who, for the first time, broke into politics just prior to the last presidential campaign and was mentioned for nomination as vice-president on the ticket with Mr. Taft. These British courtiers will pilot the proxy of President Taft all through the intricate problem of the coronation festivities, telling him just where to go, when to go and what to do when he gets there. In addition Mr. Hammond will enjoy all the privileges and immunities which are secured by international custom to the ambassadors of all countries. Whereas Mr. Hammond will be the most conspicuous American at all the public events connected with the coronation, he is the head of what is known as a "special embassy" and the other members will come in for their respective shares of glory. The official staff of the special ambassador will include a military aid who will be a brigadier general of the regular army and a naval aid who will be of the rank of rear admiral, and in addition there will be three secretaries—young men chosen more for their social qualifications than because of cierical ability. The California mining expert who rolled up the greater part of his wealth in the gold fields and diamond mines of South Africa, has the reputation of being a very liberal spender, but he will needs be to outshine his American rival, Mr. Whitelaw Reid, in the coronation hospitalities. Mr. Reid was the special envoy (the post now held by Mr. Hammond) at the coronation of King Edward, as he had been previously at Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, and on both occasions he entertained in a manner to cause British eyes to open wide with astonishment. Now, Mr. Reid is our regular ambassador at the Court of St. James and as such he has to play second fiddle to the special ambassador, Mr. Hammond. But that is only in official precedence. There is no official etiquette that puts a check upon his private hospitalities. However, President Taft's chum has leased a large London mansion for the coronation season, paying a fortune as rental, and it is likely that no temporary resident of the city of fogs will play host more splendidly during the six weeks of gayety. The army and navy representatives in the special embassy will of course don their special full dress uniforms on all ceremonial occasions during their stay in London, but the special ambassador, alike to the regular envoy, will not be asked to appear in fancy court attire of any kind or to make any elaboration of the conventional evening clothes such as he would wear at a White House reception. There will be this difference, however, that Mr. Hammond will have to venture forth at all hours of the day in his claw-hammer coat instead of reserving such attire for evening events as he would do here at home. And being somewhat short of stature anyway, this plain American citizen in his unobtrusive costume can scarcely expect to attract as much attention in the big public parades as will the princes of various nationalities who will be present in all the splendor of vldv-hued court costumes, bedecked with jeweled decorations. Yet another American who will have official standing at the coronation events will be Captain Gove, the naval officer in command of the U. S. S. Delaware, our newest and most powerful battleship. The Deleware, be it explained, is to be sent to England for this special occasion. The huge warship, it may be added, does not go to afford an impressive conveyance for the special ambassador and his suite. On the contrary they will travel on the regular ocean liners, but Great Britain has invited all the nations on the globe to send warships to the coronation marine parades and more especially to a great naval review off the English coast and it is to enable the stars and stripes Vehicles of the Air upon getting guns that would destroy the daring aviator if he flew low enough to make accuracy possible in hitting a battleship, and they may say that if the aeroplane destroyer flies beyond the range of those guns he would not be able to drop a shell where it would do its work. "They may forget, however, that the funnel of a great battleship offers a wide target, and that a perfect swarm of the little, destructive biplane gnats might be turned loose over a battleship and some one of them might drop the shell in the funnel. You could construct a big fleet of these aeroplanes for less than the cost of one battleship. "Carry the parallel still further. Suppose a hunter out after ducks U Special Envoy Hammond will have one immense advantage over the regular ambassador, Mr. Reid, and, of course, over all the Americans who are present in London at this time as private citizens. It will arise from the circumstance that the British government will, in order to make things easy for the special visitor, detail to attend him military and naval aids and court officials who will act as gentlemen-in-waiting just as is the case when a king visits the capital of a friendly nation. In his comprehensive book on vehicles of the air Victor Louheed, engineer and student of aviation, emphasizes a few points on the relation of the aeroplane to warfare that serve to bring out his notion that the day is not far off when the expenditure of millions for dreadnaught battleships will be unknown. The engineer believe many things are possible with the aeroplane and compares the aviator dropping destructive shells into the vulnerable works of a modern battleship from his aerial position to bringing down ducks with a little shotgun. If one aeroplane at a cost of, say, $990, does not destroy a battleship, says Mr. Lougheed, "why, 50 or 100 do the work. The West Point and Annapolis students may descent SPECIAL AMBASSADOR JOHN HAYS HAMMOND AND MRS. HAMMOND with a shotgun were to understand that if he left one of the flock that this one survivor might be able to annihilate him he would not place so much confidence in his shotgun." Particularly interesting is the relation of navigation to warfare, and the subject obsesses many now that the governments are taking up the experiments along scientific lines. This latest of man's inventions probably will serve first in adding to the terrors and then in laying the grim specter of the centuries. A very few of the military authorities have pointed out that in the development of the flying machine there is placed, for the first time in history, in the hands of the weak and strong combatants alike, a weapon capable of as effective and unpreventable direction against the kings, congresses, presidents and diplomats who declare war as it is of direction against the AMBASSADOR JAMES BRYSE, GREAT BRITAIN'S ENJOY TO THE UNITED STATES to have a creditable color bearer in this history-making spectacle that our latest "dreadnaught" has been ordered to cross the Atlantic. Uncle Sam's participation in the coronation will have preludes of a social nature in the United States prior to the departure of the special embassy for London. The British ambassador to the United States may be expected to entertain the special ambassador, and probably all the members of the special embassy, at a formal dinner, provided he follows precedent in the matter, as doubtless he will, for Hon. James Bryce, the present British ambassador to the United States, has earned a reputation for doing the right thing at the right time and, moreover, he is strongly in sympathy with everything American. This hospitality will doubtless be returned by Ambassador Hammond, who is well equipped for entertaining, having, in addition to his spacious summer home at Gloucester, Mass., a rented house in Washington which he has leased at a rental of upward of $10,000 a year and where he is residing with his wife and children pending the completion of a mansion specially constructed for him at the national capital. And speaking of Ambassador Hammond's fighting men on the faraway battle fronts. Already more than one great military and naval captain has suffered disquieting visions of what will happen when, maneuvering unopposed and unseen in the obscurity of the night, not merely one or a few, but veritable swarms of light aeroplanes, in 20,000 lots, costing no more than single dreadnaughts, commence trailing assortments of high explosives at the end of 1,000 foot lengths of plano wire over cities and palaces and through beets and armies. Many authorities are inclined to disparage the fighting ability of the aeroplane, basing their views on the fact that it has been demonstrated exceedingly difficult to drop bombs with any considerable accuracy from great heights. But from a slow-moving aeroplane flying very low it should be an easy matter to cast generous parcels of picric acid or fulminate of mer- family it may be noted that Mrs. Hammond is as well qualified for the duties of special ambassadress as is her husband for the post of special ambassador. Prior to her marriage she was a resident of the state of Mississippi, but since she formed a life partnership with the mining engineer she has traveled all over the world—one of her latest jaunts being to St. Petersburg, Russia, whither Mr. Hammond was summoned by the czar only a few months ago for a consultation regarding the development of Russian and Siberian mines. Moreover, Mrs. Hammond has lived for considerable intervals in London during the time that her husband was associated with Cecil Rhodes and the British capitalists who developed South Africa, so that she has had considerable experience to fit her for her duties as a hostess during the gayest social season in the interm of the world's metropolis. If precedent is followed in the case of the coronation of King George commemorative services will be held in Washington (and in all the world's capitals where Great Britain has embassies and legations) simultaneously with the significant ceremony in London. Such commemorative exercises when under the auspices of British diplomats are always especially impressive, one of the most notable within the memory of official Washington being the memorial service in honor of the late King Edward, which was held in Washington at the same hour that the funeral was held in England. Such services are attended by the president of the United States and the members of his cabinet and by all the members of the diplomatic corps in full uniform. When, as in this case, the services are in honor of a British monarch, they are always held in an Episcopal church, that being the denomination of the Church of England. The scene of such commemorative events in Washington is old St. John's church, the famous "Court Church" or "Church of the Presidents," which is located directly opposite the White House. Unfortunately the general public gets never a peep at such ceremonials because the church is a tiny one, seating only a few hundred persons and virtually every pew in the edifice has to be reserved for the diplomats and public officials who by virtue of their positions are entitled to attend. cury into the 20-foot diameters of a battleship's funnels. Fancy for a moment the disillusionment to come when in some great conflict of the future a splendid up-to-date battleship fleet of the traditional order, with traditional admiral and traditional tactics, finds itself beset in midseas by a couple of great, unarmored, liner-line hulls, engineed to admit of speeds and steaming radii such as will permit them to pursue or run away from any armored craft yet built, and designed with clear and level decks for aeroplane launching. Conceive them provided with storage room for hundreds of demountable aeroplanes, with fuel, repair facilities and explosives, and with housing for a regiment or two of expert air navigators. (Copyright, by International Press Bureau) SAVED FLOCK IN BLIZZARD Aged Wyoming Shepherd Followed Sheep for Five Days Without Food or Fire. Five days in a snowstorm, without food, fire, rest or sleep, William McCormick, a sixty-year-old sheep herder, arrived at the Murdock camp, Wyoming, in a deplorable condition, but still guarding the three thousand sheep with which he had left the camp. His colli dog underwent similar hardships, but assisted him in bringing the flock back to the corral. McCormick is employed by George Murdock, a prominent sheepman. Murdock's sheep range over the great "Red Desert," which, instead of being a desert, is one of the finest sheep ranges in the world. While out in this great plain McCormick and his big herd of three thousand sheep were overtaken by a howling blizzard of wind, snow and sleet. As is usual during such storms, the sheep immediately turned their tails to the wind and drifted with the storm, despite the efforts of McCormick and his dog to prevent the animals from going too far from their range. For three days the band drifted, the herder and dog trying all the time to stop the animals, which moved slowly in a great body before the wind. McCormick had no food with him, and there was no way to cook it even had he been supplied. On the open prairie he was unable to procure any inflammable substance. He dared not lie down to rest or sleep for fear of losing his sheep as well as from fear of being frozen to death. On the evening of the third day the storm abated and the sheep came to a standstill, many miles from water or range. McCormick knew his life depended absolutely upon his ability to reach camp, and although now three days without food, water, fire or rest, he started on the return trip, driving his sheep before him. At the end of another two days the aged sheep herder arrived at the camp and was taken in charge by his companions. During the five days he had sucked snow for water and had gone entirely without food, rest, sleep or fire. His face, hands and feet were frozen. Surgeons report that he will live. About one thousand of the sheep were missing, but these were rounded up by other employees and brought to camp. McCormick's feat is looked upon as one of the most extraordinary instances of endurance ever known in Wyoming. Postal Banks In France. The record of the postal savings bank system in France has been one of continued progress. In 1882, when this institution was established, the total number of postal banks in operation was 6,024 with 211,580 deposit accounts remaining open at the close of the year. These accounts, including interest due depositors, amounted to $9,187,116, the average sum of the deposits being $43.41. On December 31, 1909, the latest year for which complete statistics are available, the number of banks had increased by nearly 2,000, the deposit accounts numbered 5,542,882, and the deposits, including interest, represented an aggregate amount of $316,456,866, averaging $57.08. The expenses of administration during 1900 amounted to $1,504,678, and the net profits to $526,786. It may be recalled that individual accounts are limited by law to 1,500 francs ($289.50). When an account exceeds this the surplus is invested by the bank in national bonds. The total value of the bonds purchased in 1909 was $2,086,575. The withdrawals, including these purchases, amounted to $104,916,150. As the Wild Geese Fly. There can be no more impressive sight than a straining line of wild geese moving in the clear air with steady strokes, their rigid necks pointing to their northern summer home, their outlines slowly diminishing until, as a row of floating dots, they vanish in the uncertain distance. As they scan the continent in their northward sweep the feeble efforts that dot it here and there with cities must seem to them helpless presumption. They call in the joy of their strength and the poor prisoners of gravitation fancy that the resonant tones from the vast, airy dome are a special message to their own little worlds. More impressive than this voice of the open day or the sight of the vigorous and steady forms coursing the air is the sonorous mingling cries in the starry dome when the lofty way of travelers is concealed by the enshrouding night. Our Wonderful Language. Speaking before the American Physical Education association in Boston Prof. John M. Tyler of Amherst college warned his hearers emphatically against allowing girls from ten to fifteen years of age to over-exercise, hammering his ideas home with this scintillating nugget of philosophy: "Too much of nothing is good." That may be true in Boston, perhaps the less of its greatest notoriously seeking product the better; but we hope the professor won't seek to apply his self-reversible theory to Johnny Meehan's Park row doughnuts, nor yet to our debtors' bank balance. Which reminds us of the old word play: "It rains or it does not rain. Therefore, if it does not rain, it rains." The Sun once called this a "logical fallacy, of reciprocation of mutually exclusive terms." That's just what Professor Tyler's nugget is, a fallacy. If you don't believe it, get too much of nothing and see if it will be good. Established in 1898. W. N. MILLER, Editor Residence 1401 West 23d Street. Office: 630 N. Main Street.

Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and inhabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and veryalty—and preserve only the spawr, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender. ```markdown ``` TABOR CASH PRIZES $15.

A complete change of front has be- ‘come manifest among the better classes in this city. The determina. tion of Diaz to fight all the rebels to the bitter end has encourgaed the professional men of the city and has made them all believe that he can put down the trouble with loyal troops. “If Diaz cannot do that,” according to ome promient man “the govern- ment will fight its way through the ranks and raise a fresh army, return- ing to Mexico City at the head of an- other force and be abie to retake the town.” El Paso, Tex.—Peace negotiations between the insurrectos and the fed- eralists in Juarez are ended and Fran- cisco I.

THE STOCKMEN WANT TO KNOW They Believe They Are Not Getting Their Share of the High Cost ~ of Meat. Topeka, Kansas—The executive ‘committee of the Kansas Live Stock association is planning an investiga- tion to find out who gets the money in handling meat after the feeder is paid and before the consumer buys his porterhouse steak. Some of the cattlemen believe they are getting the short end of the money. “Someone besides the stock raiser gets the money,” said J. H. Mercer, state live stock sanitdty commission- er, and secretary of the association. “The people have been led to believe that the high price of meat is due to the price demanded by the stockmen. We do not believe we are getting our rightful share of the amount the con- sumer pays. We think that the pack- er, or the wholesaler, or the market man is getting more than his share of the profits. We have strated this investigation to find out who really = the money.” “MAIL CLERK STRIKE ILLEGAL “A Charge of Knowingly Obstructing the Mails Would Apply to Those Engaged in a Walk Out.

C—‘There is a law pmaking it a criminal offense to willfully and knowingly obstruct the mails and I believe that law would be applicable in the case of a strike in the railway mail service,” Joseph Stewart, second assistant postmaster general, told the house committee on civil service in explaining what the postoffice would do in the event of a walkout by the clerks, who are seek ing to establish their right to form a union. , Mr. Stewart said that a majority of the 17,000 mail clerks are satisfied with present working conditions.

"At least five people have been Kill- ed on the American side of the line since ..e skirmishing began and about 15 wounded, while the loss on the bat- tle field is variously estimated at from 30 to 60 dead on both sides and about 75 to 100 wounded. All day long the battle raged with the insurrectos swarming through 2he streets of Juarez and meeting the heavy fire of the federals with an equally vigorous volley of musketry. The rebels claim the town and while it is true that they actually control more territory, the position of the federal forces is so well foyti- fied as to be almost impregnable. ‘The rebels have forced the fighting in the face of the deadly fire of the federal machine guns. ‘They dare not gatuer in too great number for an at- tack on the federals because the ar- tillerymen of Gen. Navarro many times demonstrated the accuracy of their range when they shelled adobe houses behind which insurrectos had sought protcetion a half mile from Juarez while skulking along the river front. Gen. Navarro is said to have mines under most of the houses in Juarez and when he gets word of an insurrecto gathering, he is believed to be able to inffict a terrible slaughter of them. EACH PASTOR A CONFESSOR Rev. Charles M. Sheldon Thinks all , Protestant Churches Should ' Adopt the Plan. Topeka, Kansas.—The Rey. Charles M.

I have received quite a number of letters in the last month making inquiries regarding the Taborian Home and its regulation and about the Taborian Home Fund, it occurs to my mind that a great many of our Chief Mentors, Chief Preceptresses and Queen Mothers have not read the Session Laws as they should have done.

Her Criticism. The five-year-old daughter of a Brooklyn man has had such a large experience of dolls that she feels herself to be something of a connoisseur in children, relates Lippincott's. Recently there came a real baby into the nouse. When it was put into her arms the five-year-old surveyed it with critical eye. "Isn't it a nice baby?" asked the nurse. "Yes, it's nice," answered the youngster hesitatingly. "It's nice, but it's head's loose." uilar African Rac. The is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodeis.

How to Get Thin. When one has just begun to acquire superfluous flesh complete abstinence from sweets and starches, a moderate amount of food at all times, and daily exercise either indoors or out will effect a cure. The effort, however, must be persistent, and the watchfulness must continue even after the desired weight has been reached. Spasmodic efforts either at diet or exercise will be absolutely without lasting results. When one's weight has crept far be fond the normal amount the restraint in diet must be more strenuous and the exercise more violent.—Harper's Weekly. Send for the S. P. C. C. A "Young Mother" asks our opinion of "the alleged injurious effects of rocking on babies." We must frankly say that we consider it a brutal practice. As the father of a great many babies, of all ages, we never rocked on any of them intentionally, and we would probably be arrested if we expressed our full opinion of any woman who would assume to do so--Lippincott's Mar Bobby's Unfortunate Bobby's Unfortunate He was five yet particular day him with unusual much displeased with clothing dirt so often told him he must take his two part in the boy's scraps—fight the occasion demand it.
