Monday night, Judge Stock bridge announced
the gift of an historic pitcher to the society by
Messrs. Carvel Grace and William H. Law

turned.-After period of four years spent at
Cape Mount small town ofabout 500 inhabi-
tants on the coast of Liberia. where she was in
charge of a mission school for native girls.
Miss Marguerite Ridgely, youngest sister of
Mr.. John Ridgely, of Hampton, returned home
last week for a short vacation. Miss Ridgely
has become so infatuated with her work among
the natives OF this practically uncivilized coun-
try that she intends to return in the fall and
resume her duties as head of the mission school.
When Miss Ridgely announced to her friends
and relatives about four years ago. that she
was going to become missionary in far-of
Africa, they were greatly surprised. She was
determined, however, to carry out her idea and,
after communicating with the General Board
of Missions ofthe Protestant Episcopal Church,
she left for Liberia to take charge of the boards
mission school for girls, located at Cape Mount.
Many expressed the belief that she would not
remain there long, because she would be I'M
able to withstand the hardships to which she
would be subjected, while others were of the
opinion that six months or year in that I'm
civilized country would be sufficient to make
her change her mind and return home. This,
however, has not been the csse and Miss
Ridgely has returned home after four years of
work among the natives with even more en-
thusam for the work to which she intends de.
voting her life than she displayed when she
started out.
For the present Miss Ridgely is the guest of
her sister, Mrs. J. Southgate Yeaton, Maryland
avenue, Baltimore. She was accompanied
home by her sister, Miss Eliza Ridgely, who
met her in England.
When seen at the home of Mrs. Yeaton on
Sunday last by a reporter of the Baltimore
american, Miss Ridgely talked in most inter-
esting and entertaining manner of her travels
and her work. She said that her visit home
was merely for little recreation and that she
expected to return to Cape Mount in the fall.
The climate of Liberia is very hard on white
people and domestic animals and, according to
Miss Ridgely, the former seldom remain in the
country more than three years and the latter
are seldom, if ever, seen.
There are no horses there" she said, land
the only means of travel is by foot and in
some cases the person going on journey is
carried in hammock borne by natives. On
one occasion, shortly after / arrived at Cape
Mount, traveller passed through the town on
horseback, and the appearance of the horse
was the talk of the place for several days. it be-
ing the first time that some of the natives had
seen one Cows are also scarce and there are
only one or two in the town. These are stun
ted in growth and are imported from the hills
in the interior of Africa. The natives have
never seen a wagon or, in fact, any kind of a
vehicle and the only thing on wheels in the
town is a wheelbarrow, which belongs to the
missionary and which is used to carry water.
The appearance of bicycle, ridden by a trav-
eler, on one occasion caused sensation among
the natives who were actually afraid to ap-

MISERY IN STOMACH.

Why not start nOw-tO-day-and
ever rid yourself of stomach trouble
and indigestion? A dieted stomach
gets the blues and grumbles. Give
it good eat, then take Pape's Dia-
pepsin to start the digestive juices
working. There will be no dyspepsia
or belching of gas or eructations OF
undigested food; no feeling like a
lump of lead in the stomach or heart
burn, sick headache and dizziness,
and your food will not ferment and
poison your breath with nauseous
OdOrs.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only so
cents for large case at any drug
store here, and will relieve the most
obstinate case of indigestion and up
set stomach in five minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
gas from stomach and cleanse the
stomach and intestines, and besides
one triangule will digest and prepare
for assimilation into the blood all
your food the same rs sound,
healthy stomach would do it.
When Diapepsin works your stom-
ach rests-gets itself in order, cleans
up-and then you feel like eating
when you come to the table, and
what you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
misery is waiting for you as soon as
you decide to begin taking Diapepsin.
Tell your druggist that you want
Pape's Diapepsin, because you want
to be thoroughly cured of indigestion.

TAKES NEW TURN
New York Butts into the California
Question

New York, Jan. 30-An important
movement with respect to the Japan
ese question in California was inau-
sIrated today. at meeting of the
board Of trade and transportation's
committee on foreign and insular
trade 1t was decided to recommend
to the board that the merchants of
New York appeal. to the merchants
and manufacturers of all the other
states to cooperate with them in i'm
pressing upon the people of Califor-
MIA the unwisdom of persistent dis
elimination against the people of a
nation, Japan. that has shown its title
to the respect of the world at large;
that has proved itself to be great
factor in the civilizing and progress
sive influence of the world and
whose trade is of Importance to this
country.
The committee strongly deprecated
the constant agitation in California
against the Japanese and expressed
the fear that its continuance will Sc
riously affect the amicable relations
between Japan and the United States.
1t was pointed out that while Jap
an sells us thirty millions more an
nually than we sell Japan, it is also
true that the sixty-nine millions of
goods which she sells us consists al
most entirely of raw materials, which
are not produced in this country. such
as tea and raw silks, while the thirty
nine millions of goods which we ex-
port to Japan consists of manufac-
tured articles, the products of our
factories and workshops.
The committee feels that, while the
autonomy of the state should be zeal
ously guarded, no state should disre-
gard the fact that international
treaties constitute the highest law,
no wshould they in any way attempt to
nullify such treaties or do that which
would result in an injury to all the
state and the union.
The recommendations of this COM
mittee will be presented to the board
at the next meeting.

Madrid, Jan. 30.-All communication
with southern Spain and with the city
of Barcelona is uninterrupted and
normal and the reports emanating
from England relative to the disas-

untrue. There was a slight earth

Murcia, but no serious damage was
done. Slight shocks were also felt in
the village of Olias. At both Totana
and Olias the inhabitants fed panic

FATAL ACCIDENT
ON STREET CAR
Storm Caused It to Leave the
Rails and Roll Down an
Embankment

j Cincinnati, Jan. 30.-The snow storm
and consequent slippery tracks is CIV
en- as the cause of an accident here
today that may cost at least two lives
while several other persons were in
jured. The College Hill main line car
with thirty-seven passengers, jumped
the rails on Clifton avenue and tum-
bled down steep embankment, land
ing at the bottom of ravine with a
mass of shrieking men, women and
children caught under it or hurled
from the platform or through the win
dows. More than a score OF passen-
gers were injured, some seriously.
That some were not instantly killed
is considered remarkable. Motorman
Joseph E. Mulligan is believed to be
dying and Conductor Poppe is proba-
bly, fatally hurt.
