To Close Elks' Home,
of The Star.

RICHMOND, Va, July Is 1905.
The Elks' Home at Bedford City, pur-
chased some five years ago as home for
old. infirm and INDECENT members of the
order, will, according to advices received
here, be closed during the next year. The
home is one of the handsomest places in
the state, is elegantly fitted and furnished
is In the healthiest section of the state, sur
rounded by the most picturesque scenery to
be found, with the finest water in the
country. The cost was approximately
100000. and UP to this time only sixteen
members have found a home at the place
1t was expected that there were double
that number who would be glad TO find rest,
food and shelter at the place, but the cost
of maintaining the place is so great for Inc
number of inmates that ii is believed 10 be
economy to support the inmates in other
institutions and dispose of the property.

Triangular Fight for Governor.

ing prosecuted earnestly Dy the three men
who have been on the stump for three
months. All are still at work. and the be-
lief is that the closing days of the cam
paign are to be the hottest of the fight. So
far, only a single break has occurred to
mar the good feeling by the candidates,
and that was due to an incomplete report
of a statement made by Mr.. Swanson re-
garding Mr.. Willard. Mr.. Swanson prompt
ly disavowed the correctness of the report,
and the disavowal was accepted by Mr..
Willard. II is true that the latter has been
waging the most arduous campaign. and
he IS still making speeches at every place
in the state. die travels at night and speaks
during the day, and on at least one occa-
sion he has slept in a freight car while
going from one place to another to keep
an appointment. Mr.. Willard is the richest
man in the state but he Is one of the most
democratic and one of the most genial.
The thick-and-thin party men express
fear as to the part to be played by Judge
Mann and his supporters. The judge is on
the stump greater portion of each week
and he is making speeches at many points
not yet visited by the other candidates.
Visitors from all parts of the state agree
that he is very much in the race, that he is
having good crowds and that he is making
a most captivating speech and winning re-
cruits and developing unexpected strength
from all quarters. His friends say that he
does not need the organization which many
of the candidates insist is essential but
that his organization is to be found in the
homes, in the churches and among the bet
ter class Of men who want to see the
liquor laws rigidly enforced. That is the
point at which fear is expressed by the
party men, for they say that in case Judge
Mann Is nominated he will have to make a
fight for the election which will require
the best efforts of the party, many demo-
Gratis saying they will vote the republican
ticket rather than vote for a man who is

Missionaries in a Once
Famous Slave Market

The globe trotter" has not yet ap-
peared in large numbers on the west
coast of Africa, partly because of the
time which has to be spent to reach
that section of the Dark Continent,
and partly because the home of the
black man has few attractions for the
tourist. Unusual interest, therefore,
attaches to the tour now being made
by the Rev. DIR. A. Woodruff Halsey,
a secretary of the Presbyterian board
of foreign missions, who is making
the first visit ever made by a Pres
byterian missionary secretary to the
mission stations of that board in West
Africa.
Word of DR.. Halsey's visit to Old
Calabar. once a famous slave market,
has just reached America, and he
tells how the trader, the missionary
and the British government have
changed the character of the place
and made it fit to dwell in.
The native towns surrounding the
city are described as filthy and un-
couth, but improvement is constant
ly being made even though the native
mind is still held by the "Ju-Ju" or
Fetish" to such an extent that a
bundle of wood, bearing charm of
cloth or SHE'LL placed on 1t with an
appropriate curse, is supposed to be
safe from thieves; fear of the charm
and curse keeping them away.
DR.. Halsey describes a church serv-
ice in English for the negro popula-
ton of foreign birth, in the course of
which a negro baby was baptized.
No fewer than 81 persons, he says,
"god-fathers, mothers, sisters. cous-
ins and aunts," STOOD up" with and
for the child, the colors of the rain
bow being represented In the little
group about the pulpit. In strong
contrast was the baptism of a white
baby, the daughter Of a medical mis-
sionary at Creektown, about eight
miles from Calabar. This was held
on the afternoon of the same day that
saw the negro baptism. and every
trader, missionary and traveller at
tended. white babies being a rarity
in that country
Everybody was much interested in
the baby, especially the traders, who
are compelled to leave their families
at home. Everybody wanted to hold
the child, so that the little lady was
in danger of nervous prostration. The
service was held in a church which,
costing $4,000, was entirely given by
native Christians, and strange feat
ure was the collection plates. wooden
boxes three feet by two. to accommo-
date the many brass rods which con-
stitute the common currency Of the
inland towns. DIR. Halsey reports that
the negroes are governed wisely and
Justly, and says that, contrary to ru-
mors ne heard before reaching Afri-
ca, the best of feeling prevails be-
tween the missionaries and the trad
ers; both working earnestly for the
betterment of the native.

BERLIN. july IA black prince, b1t
"A real prince after all, has just been =
Quilted by a Hamburg judge OF
charge Of obtaining money undeT faise
prctenses.
Prince Akwa, 2 nephew Of King Bell,
an African monarch, had for weeks
amused himself by painting the town OF
Hamburg lively red with money which
he borrowed from certain gentlemen
who make ii business to assist people
who are in distress.
The prince had given no security but
his royal word that his father would
paw his debts. Time passed, however,
and no remittance came from his Afr
can majesty.
Al last the money lender had the
prince arrested. In court he produced
letter from his father in which the
King said that because Of circumstances
beyond his control the King business
was rather poor at present, and that it
was impossible for him to send the six
thousand marks which his son had bor-
rowed,
As this letter seemed TO prove that the
prince had never had any intention of
defrauding the money lenders Of their
money, the Judge, with evident pleas
ure seized the opportunity of teaching
the usUreTS a lesson and acquitted the
prince.
