An Old Custom.

At Chingford, in Essex, England, an
estate is held by very strange condi-
ton. Whenever 1t passes into new
hands, the owner with his wife, man
servant and maid-servant, comes OH
horseback to the parsonage and pays
his homage by blowing three blasts
upon n horn; he carries a hawk upon
his fist and his servant has a grey
hound ih the slip, both for the use OF
fine rector for that day. He receives
chicken for the hawk, a peck or oats
for his horse and loaf of bread Tor
his greyhound After dinner the own
or blows three more blasts, anu then
with his party withdraws from the
rectOry.

R. G. Dun & Company's Weekly
Review of Trade says:
Encouraging factors predominate
Little definite increase is seen in the
distribution of merchandise, but de.
velopments of the past week promise
better things in the near future. Ihe
most important influence for good is
the brighter crop prospect. For the
present the best news comes from the
large cities, where warm weather has
stimulated retail trade in light weight
fabrics and jobbers report that orders
from agricultural communities are
much better than from manufacturing
centers. There are still many COM
plants of slow collections.
1t is gratifying to note in dispatches
from iron and steel-making centers
that the decline in quotations has
seased and consumers are making in
qulries which promise to result in con-
siderable business. Insofar as &C
tual contracts are concerned, the past
week was probably the dullest thus far
this year, yet the tone appears to be
distinctly better and signs of growing
COlHucHSc are lilOSt encouraging ditCi
the long period in which caution and
conservatism were the chief senti.
ments. Moderate contracts for rail
way bridges and other. structural WORK
are being placed, but merchant steel
and kindred lines are very quiet.

Organ Restored tc Normal Condition
Thouoh Shifted Six Inches.

Annie Riley, 13-year-old daughter
of James Riley of Dickson City, Pa,
became iii with pleurisy about a year
ago. The family physician found the
whole left side Of the child's body over
the lungs bloated He removed the
matter and the girl began to get WELL
Soon, however, a second gathering
appeared, which decayed the ribs on
the left side. During this second Ill
ness the girls heart moved over to
the right side some six inches from
its proper position.
The girl was taken to a hospital,
where physicians found 1t necessary
to remove four whole ribs and parts Of
four others.
The physicians restored the heart to
It's natural position, but the operation
left the child weak and for two
weeks she was in dangerous posi-
ton. but now it is believed she will
recover.

COLORED CONGRESSMEN
TESTING FOR SEATS.
CON

The Committee on Privileges and
Elections of the 5Sth Congress has just
concluded the hearing of the case of
Prloleau VS.. Legare from the First
Congressional District of South Caro-
lima. The case was argued three days.
The cOntestee was represented by
Messrs. Rivers and Holman, of Charles
ton, and the contestant by Gen. N. w.
Dudley and Mr.. Julius L. Mitchell.
The latter is a full-blooded Negro and
a lawyer of some prominence in his
State. He handled the facts and the
law involved in the contest with great
skill.
1t was charged that out of $4,000
Republican votes in the District the
Democrats counted only It's, and it
was proved that 1911 Republicans who
appeared at the polls offering to vote
were rejected by the Democratic man
ayers. The total vote claimed by. the
Democrats was only 3749. Mr.. Mitchell
laid special stress upon the unconstitu-
tionality of the States election laws
and the harsh and burbonic treatment
of his people by the South. He de-
cIared that the South would never be
right until the compelling force of
public sentiment set it right. The out
look for the success of the contest is
very bright.

lures on Mr.. Washington l answer en-
phatically, No! 1t will be recalled in
this connection that Our Saviour was
piled with ingeniously framed ques-
tiOns touching his doctrine designed
for the Salvation of Mankind and His
answers analyZed word for word with
a view to trip Him. 1t is strange that
Mr. Washington should meet with sim
liar treatment in promoting a doc
trine designed for the Salvation of
a race? l think not. / am not COM
missioned to speak for Mr. Washington
Or to explain his views further than
might be CLEANED from his utterances
by anyone else honestly desirous of
lifting the race to the plane its pro-
gress justly entitle it to occupy But
in this instance 1 am able to defend
Mr.. Washington and point out the
seeming weakness of Mr.. Morris stric-
lures. 1t will be recalled that great
stress was laid on the fact that Mr.
Washington had criticized a colored
minister whom he observed prepar-
ing his sermon for the approaching
Sabbath, very much after the manner
of the early New England divines. And
the question asked with great dramatic
stress, Why the Colored minister
should be denied the privilege of pre-
pairing his sermon after so approved
form as New England set? Now in
this form of the question separated
from all the connecting incidents it
does appear that Mr.. Washington
would have the ColOred minister OBJ
scure himself, and assume an attitude
more in keeping with an inferior con-
dition. But the structure loses all force
when it is confronted with the full
connection. Mr. Washington like Mr..
Morris, was decrying "shams," and
spoke of the tendency of the Colored
people to grasp the shadow and ignore
the substance. The minister's front
gate was off it's hinges. his front yard
was full grown with weeds, his house
was adorned with paper in the sash
where glass should shave been and a
general air of desolation prevailed
compared with his neighbors. Now
l leave it to any fair minded person
to say, whether or not Mr.. Washing
ton shall be assailed for such criticism
and would he not be derelict in his duty
if he failed to point out such incon-
sistencies in the race.
The same as to the pious incident
Mr.. Washington and friend came to a
place seeking shelter and food, and
while sitting in the parlor, to which
they were shown on entering, both
were enthusiastic over the evidences of
substantial grown shown by observing &
a piano in the house, but later on en-
tering the dining room, the sham
character of the whole was exposed.
The china and other appurtenances on
the dining table had the appearance of
