has been brought about by the Ire
quent eruptions among the labor ele-
ment in the last few years Or just on
general principles the naval arthor-

the drills are to be generally intro

be highly beneficial to good order.
1t so happens that a vessel of the

also easily be the case that something
would happen at or within hundred

COLORED VASSAR GIRL.
People at POuGhkeepsie Thought
Miss Hemmings Was a Spaniard.


Miss Hemmings Was a Spaniard.
Anita Florence Hemmings, the Boston girl
who has stirred up such a sensation by dar-
ing to complete a course at exclusive Vassar
when she knew that there was negro blood in
her veins, is a handsome. modest and refined
young woman. Both her mother and father
are mulattOeS the father of each being white.
Miss Hemmings herself shows few traces of
her black ancestors. She is decided bru-
nette, but her back hair is as straight as
that of an Indians, and it was supposed by
Spaniard.
The Hemmngs have lived in Boston for
twenty-five years. Anita was always a stu
dious girl. She attended the Boston grammar
school and was afterward graduated from the
girls high school. Then she expressed a
and there she went. Mr.. Hemmings denies
the report that wealthy lady who had taken
an interest in Anita paid the bills. He says
he paid them himself, as he was amply able
to do. Anita did not think it necessary to
announce that her parents were mulattoes.
and no one suspected that she was not OF
pure Caucasian blood
Miss Hemmings' friends say that the report
that she was a reigning social favorite at
Vassar is an exaggeration. She was modest
and retiring, making few friends and not
seeking to take a prominent part in social
life. Her pure. sweet soprano voice won Tor
her place in the college glee club, but she
did not belong to any other of the various
college societies. Miss Hemmings spent her
summers at Cottage City, where she was re-
ceived in the best of society. The fact that
there is q trace of Ethiopian blood in her
veins was discovered after she left college
by the publication, in a Boston paper, OF an
item concerning her brother, who was re-

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.
NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Sept 4.-The market held re-
markedly steady today, considering the fact
that Sunday and a holiday are to intervene
before the resumption of trading, and that
realizing has been on quite large scale all
week. There was liquidation in progress to-
day. without doubt, but not on heavy scale,
and offerings were well absorbed by the large
commission houses buying. London also
bought quite freely in this market of the in
ternatonals, and a buoyant tone was report
ed for Americans on the London exchange.
Some of the large operators, who have been
a recent dominant factor in the market, did
not share in the dealings today, and one stock
was pushed into sensational prominence as a
prop to the market, as has been the. case on
each day this week. The advance in North
ern Pacific issues did, however; give evidence
OF manipulation. The stocks Jagged in the
recent general advance, owing to the poor
showing of earnings. The motive assigned
for today's advance was the benefit to result
to the road from the clause of the tariff law,
levying a discriminating tax on foreign goods
brought into the country through contig-
uous country.
The market was under considerable press
ure after the opening on offerings to realize,
and declines were general throughout the list,
extending to a point in Northwest and Can
ada Southern and B in Missouri Pacific. The
market was rallied by the advance in the
Northern Pacific issues, Sugar and Missouri
Pacific. Sugar rose IL after a heavy OPEN
ing; Missouri Pacific advanced IA from the
low point the report of its earnings for
the fourth week in August, which showed a
last year. The extreme rise in Northern Pa
cifc preferred was rs on sa:es of $4,000
shares, leading the lists. st. Paul moved
narrowly and below last nights close all day.
Wabash common and preferred were strong
on the August statement, showing gain of
s154,549 i'll gross earnings: Statements Of
railway earnings published during the day
were uniformly favorable and the excellent
bank statement sustained the list. The clos
ing showed net changes mixed. Omaha and
ST. Paul, of the grangers, were fractionaly
lower. The coalers, as a group, displayed
strength, Lackawana, New Jersey Central
and Delaware G Hudson all rising over a
point and the Reading issues fraction.
Total sales of stocks today were 800, sos
shares including: Atchison preferred. 1920;
