Red Devil Tackled a Mule.

A badly battered automobile wObbled
through Allentown, Pa, Sunday morn
ing, carrying four automobilists, who
said they had come from Ballietsville,
but who refused to give their names be-
cause they didn't want their friends to
know that their cred deviP had come of
second best in a battle with a Ken
tucky mule. The automObilists admitted
that several miles out of town their
searchlight discovered big mule graz
ing by the roadside. The French tooter
whopped warning and the chauffeur
decided he'd see how close he could
steer to that mule without hitting him.
The animal paid absolutely no attention
to the machine until it was within three
feet of him, and then he let 60 his hind
legs. One tire and the engine hood
were kicked clear off the machine and
the steering gear was put out of com.
mission. The mule kept on grazing,
while the autoists spent several hour:
putting on new tire and making other
repairs.

Education of the Negro.

With the opening Of the public schools
throughout the State it would be inter-
eating to note the amount of money ex-
pended annually by the State OF Virginia
for the education of the negro. The fol-
lowing data from the Virginia School
Journal will give some idea of what the
State is doing towards the uplifting ofthe
other race
During the thirty-four years that the
public school system has been in opera
ton in this State it is estimated that 1t
has cost not less than forty millions Of
dollars, of which twenty-five millions
have been spent for the white schools
and fifteen millions on the colored
schools; and while accurate statistics are
wanting for an exact calculation, 1t Is
safe to say that the entire amount paid
by the colored people of the State during
all these years for school purposes does
not exceed two million dollars. 1t will
thus be seen that the white people OF this
Commonwealth have had not only TO
support their own schools, but have had
to pay not less than thirteen million dol
lars for the support of the negro schools.
This burden on the white people OF the
State is rendered all the more grievous
by the necessity that compels the support
of annual system of schools for the two
races. And yet, according TO investiga-
tions recently made by an accomplished
statistican in one of the departments of
the State government, the negroes own
onethirty-sixth of all the land in Vir-
ginia and are acquiring land at the rate
of about 80, 900 acres year. They own
one-sixteenth of all the land in Virginia
east of the Blue Ridge, one-tenth OF all
the land in twenty-five counties OF the
State, One-seventh of Middlesex, one
seventeenth of Hanover, and one-thlrd
of Charles CITY county. The report OF
the Auditor of Public Accounts shows
that the total valuation of all lands, town
lots and buildings owned by colored per-
sons in this State is $l1, ,643, l64. 90,
while the value of such property owned
by white persons is $299, 742, 290.0 90.
The entire State tax levied on the COL
ored people for the support of the schools
is Sl39, 107, 81, of which not more than
$75, 600 is collected annually. Colonel
Morton Marye, the able and accom-
plished Auditor OF Public Accounts,
states that the records of his Office show
that the amount of money appropriated
annually Tor the support of the negro
schools and the cost of trying negro
criminals exceeds the entire amount OF
taxes paid by the negroes by at least
half million of dollars. 1t is estimated
that the colored schools cost not less than
$3.50, 900 annually.

Conrted Her for Fifty Years.

After courtship ex' >nding over hity
years Jerome Hunsinger, aged 76, and
Miss Anna Latz, II years old, both resi-
dents of Mountain Grove, Pa, were
married Saturday night. The two have
lived all their lives in what is known al
irish Valley and in youth they formed
an attachment for each other. In early
life they could not marry, as each haa
relatives to care for. As years passed
on one difficulty after another arose 10
delay the wedding, but their love never
wavered. Finally each of the lovers
was left alone, all their relatives having
died, and a week ago they met under the
same tree where 50 years ago they had
pligbted their troth, and the man again
urged the woman to set the day for their
wedding. She consented, and on Satur-
day Rev. Kirschner tied the knot. Both
are wealthy and residents for miles
around attended the wedding. The cou-
pie left Monday to spend their honey
moon at the Worlds Fair.

Reveled amid Mirrors and Women.
From Tomsk comes a cu.ious story OF
modern Narcissus. His name is
Vladimir Yevdokimof, the son of one
Of the riches merchants in Russia. After
spending millions of roubles in all sorts
of foolish ways he retired to Tomsk with
a considerable fortune still in his hands.
He brought a wooded hill in the
neighborhood, and on the summit of it
built glass palace. One of the largest
OF the rooms is a mirror hall, in which
walls, root and floor are formed only of
mirrors. In the middle Of this hall
Yeydokimoff had throne erected which
revolved on pivot like piano stool.
Here he would sit for hours, turning
backward aud forward and admiring
himself in the mirrors. Gorgeous robes
were in a neighboring room, and in the
course of day he would change his
garments a score of times. His admira-
ton Of himself in the mirrors was some
times varied by elaborate banquets, to
which only women were invited, and
which are said to have resembled the
Thrac:an mysteries. They we're attired
as Bacchantes, aud he presided, crowned
with roses. In FIVE years he squandered
1000, 900 roubles (about So, 500, OOO),
and is now in an asylum for the insane.

nAlDENS AND nIsLETeE
Last Chance Leap Year Party Given
 by Phoenix Young Ladies.

Mankind is prone to close the door on opportunity until everlastingly too late. It is not always the case, else would life be a failure, but even those who are classed among the success ful are often negligent until the elev enth hour. Come early and avoid the rush is the unheeded maxim o1 the ages but it is pleasing to note that in the twentieth century there is marked improvement. Though the early coTu- CTS are yet few and far between, the eleventh hour rush is increasing and in the course of another huncred years or so the Phoenix girls who arc now unmarried will awaken to their leap year opportunities before the hollyber- ries ripen and the yule leg crackles in the grate.
 The above soliloquy was inspired by the incident of a Hast chance" leap year party given last night in the pri- vate dining parlors of Coffee AIS place by ten young ladies, to as many pre- sumably eligible young men. All year the girls have been waiting, and the boys have been playing the game in strict accordance with the almanac But finally as the sleigh bells jingled along Washington street, the reindeer sniffed the frosty air Santa Claus had come and gone, and old father Time was seen whettinE his sickle for the harvest of the dying year, 1t became apparent that something had to be done, and it was done.
 The young ladies ordered. the ban qUet and paid for it, too, aud for all the mistletoe and greenery with which the parlors were decorated, or should have been, for deponent is working on a "hunch" and not from actual obser- vation. It is easy though to imagine what should have occurred, whether 1t did or not and if Dan Cupid didn't wing a few last night he's a poor shot. T. is not likely that anything will be retrieved this year, but wounds of that sort are apt to finger in tbeil' healing and the game may not fall until tE7e flowers bloom again. Anyhow it i7 likely that some of the young men found out last night where they were at and can govern themselves accord ingly.
 The names of the conspirators were the Misses Ethel Dom, Glars Storay. Nellie Wright, Minnie Wright, Jessie Watts, Rae Callahan, Susie Schermer- horn, Genevieve Barnam, Florence Stewart, Miss Irwin. The young gen tlemen who took the bait were Sidney Stewart. c. E. Glasscock Arthur Her tel, Harry Boynton, MT. Reed Dr. F. Munson, Henry Sprouse, Duncan How ard, James Robinson and Clyde B. Cooper.
