There is no death: the stars go down
To us upon some fairer shore
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
TO shine forever more.
There is no death; an angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our lest loved things away.
And then call them dead

YELLOW JACKETS
ATTEND CHURCH
AND AFTER APPLYING THEIR
STINGERS VIGOROUSLY HAVE
uNDlsPUTED POSSESSION.

BOSTON, Ga, June IA great re-
vival meeting in progress at the Bap-
fist church here Sunday was broken
up by the swarming of yellowjack-
cts, which had nests in the pulpit.
The services were at high tension, the
preachers being engaged in calling
sinners to the mourner's bench, when
the yellowjackets began to dart out
from their nests and sting saints and
sinners alike. In few minutes there
seemed to be thousands Of the yellow
insects flying about the church and
darling their stingers into the congre'
cation.
The preacher was one Of the first
to be stung, and the pain put a stop
to his exhortation. The women
screamed when struck by the yellow
jackets, and many of the men said
things that had no churchly sound.
After standing for the stingingig
few moments the congregation got
into a panic and bolted from the
church, leaving the sacred edifice II
possession of the yellowjackets.

CALL
NEGRESS "MISS"
BISHOP LAMPToNs DAUGHTER
DEMANDED THE USE OF A
HANDLE TO HER NAME.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 14.-Indig-
nation over the determined efforts OF
a negress to force white women to
address her as Miss" came to head
in Greenville, Miss, Sunday night, and
the climax resulted in the hasty de-
parture from that city Of the family
of E. w. hampton, bishop OF the Afrl-
can Methodist Episcopal church. The
negress who caused the trouble is the
nearly grown daughter of Bishop
Hampton. For some time past she
has insisted that the prefix be given
her by saleswomen in the various
stores. and by telephone operators.
Saturday the negress was unusually
insistent in the matter, and after
sharp words addressed to one of the
operators, declared that her father
would force white hirelings to speak
to her in a becomingly respectful man
ner.
Shortly after this threat hampton
called at the telephone exchange, and
in an interview with the manager de-
manded that all the young women en-
ployes there be forced to address his
daughter as Miss hampton.
The manager declined to issue any
such order, and on his making the in
terview known, an indignation meet
ing was held by the citizens. and
Hampton was given a few hours to
take his family from the city. They
departed promptly, the girl for ODER
lin. O.. and Hampton for Cincinnati.

mittees This will be followed in the
Senate, but there may be some change
in the House. According to seniority
the Republican House conferees
would consist of Representatives.
Payne, Dalzell, Mccall, Hill and
Boutell, of Illinois. This alignment
leaves the Far West without repre-
sentation and gives the Middle West
only one member-Mr. Boutell-who
is not at all satisfactory to the Middle
West insurgents"
There Is therefore some talk about
displacing either Mr.. Hill or Mr.. Nc
Call and make way for some member
from the Far West, such as Repre-
sentative Needham, of California.
Another reason given for this is that
both Mccall and Hill are disposed to
make substantial reductions in the
tariff and it is feared that they might
ioin with the Democrats on certain
votes. This is particularly true OF
Mccall, >mko is in favor of free raw
materials of all sorts. Hill is not so
radical, but he has often been an
'insurgent" and is not entirely trust
ed by organization men. The fear OF
the leaders is that If they leave Mr..
Hill off the committee he will cause
them much more difficulty on the
floor. The Democratic members OF
the House on the Conference Commit
tee will be Representative Clark, OF
Missouri; Representative Underwood
of Alabama, and Representative
Griggs, of Georgia.
