An unrsassnsbIe Friend.

Several young artists in Philadelphia
are telling q story ON another wielder
OF the brush who is a fellow member
In a little club. One Of the rules of the
club Is that each member must keep
his finished paintings up to a certain
number. The artist on whom the story
Is told Is noted for his Incidence. He
keeps up to the requirement regarding
the number, but never exceeds II. But
for bis distaste for work the artist
probably would be very comfortably
fixed financially, as he has consider
able talent. AS a matter OF fact, he
Ia usually ON the edge of penury. Sew
eral days ago, when his e%xeheQuer was
unusually low, a friend visited him IN
his studio. The friend looked at sew

lay on a couch, smoking q pipe.

pointing to one OF them. he named a

MANYUEMA CANNIBALs.
African savages That Grind Their
Teeth to Sharp Points.


The most terrible species Of cannt
balls living are the cruel, bloodthirsty
Manyuema of Tanganyika, in central
Africa. Living to the west Of Tan
ganyika, these cannibals, clothed In
primitive fashion with a piece Of bark
cloth rudely hammered out from a
neighboring tree, have an appetite for
human flesh which Is we'll nigh In
satiable.
They exercise the most fiendish cum
ming in tracking down their quarry,
choosing fat, well covered people In
preference to those who are lean and
bony. Their favorite practice Is to
waylay their victims at eventide so
that they may have before them a
long night in which to e~ffectually dis
pose of their prey by cutting 1t up
into strips and drying it over a low
fire In the woods. These dried strips
OF human flesh are carefully preserved
for future use, and on two occasions
these grewsome forest food depots
We're discovered and their owners kill
ed by the Wafpa people, who inhabit
east T~anganyika.
Most of these cannibals file their
teeth to sharp points so as to enable
them more easily to tear the flesh
from the bone when they have to eat
their abominable meal In a hurry

HARTWIG
GIVES DINNER
TO POOR TOTS

Otto B. Hsrtwig, proprietor of Otto s
cafe, in Hobart street, served turkey
dinners to more than 100 poor children
in his Cozy Restaurant yesterday after
noon. The restaurant section of the
establishment was screened off affording
privacy for Mr. Hartwig's little guests,
who were seated at numerous tables
which were tastefully decorated for the
occasion.
Turkey, with the customary addition
al delicacies accompanying it was ser
we'd in as many portions as the tots
could eat. Fresh made pumpkin pie was
served afterward but the children had
been so well treated by the host that
they could hardly partake of the des-
sert.
Those who helped Mr.. Hartwig in
providing for the dinners by supplying
eatables were Hope brothers, milk deal
ers; Joseph .Kehrer, baker; Frank
Hilsdorf, grocer; and Samuel Borak

SIXTH ANNUAL
SOCIAL EVENT

h popularity of the dances and
receptions given under the auspices
of the Marion Athletic Club was
clearly demonstrated by the large at
tendance at their sixth annual af-
fair given in the Auditorium on
thanksgiving eve. The decorations
were most appropriate. Flags of the
different clubs of this city together
with remnants of the schools and
colleges strung across the hall, made
the Auditorium resemble a large coll
lege room.
Another feature of the evening
was the supper march, led to the bal
cony at 1918 o'clock by John
Bird and Miss Ruth Gallagher, fol-
lowed by owe one hundred couples.
Without doubt this was the most
successful march held at similar
affairs in some time past. Although
no exact amount can be stated as
yet, the committee say 1t was a f.
nancial success as we'll as socially.
The dances were dedicated as fol-
lows: To Our Mayor, to Our Fire
men, Puritans, to the Owls, to the
Dexters, to the Goodwills, the Y. M.

SURRENDER OF
new ENGLAND
TO RAILROADS

The problem of the effect of rail-
road management and policy upon
our commerce and industry is n
of the most vital one now confront
ing us. Within the last few years
that policy has been to concentrate
railroad systemus under one COM
pany, so as to control the entire traf-
fc Of various regious of the country.
The result of this policy in the case
of the Southern Pacific has been
such as to warrant grave doubts of
its wisdom. Within a few months
on the other side of the continent a
similar Capitalization has taken
placethat of the control of the
vast traffic of New England by the
New York, New Haven & Hartford.
Writing on this merger, under the
title of "The Surrender of New Eng
land in the December Hampton's,
Charles Edward Russell says.
Prior to 1903 the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad,
although a great and growing octi-
pus monopolizing the railroad traf-
fic of q large region, was what is
known as financially sound. 1t op-
crate 2s037 miles of road with a
main line from New York City to
Boston and many branch lines
through Connecticut, Rhode Island
and Massachusetts. Its capital
was S70,897,3O0, it's funded
debt was $14,549,30O, its total cap
italization was s8~5,446,600.
six years later it's capital stock
had increased ~ per cent, it's fund
ed debt had increased 1910 per cent,
its total capitalization had grown to
$356,737 ,975.
ut had meantime entered into a
deliberate plan to secure an abso-
Lutte monopoly of the entire trans
portation business of New England.
by 1903 the process of combin-
ing and unifying the steam railroads
had reached the stage where there
were three main New England sys-
tems-the Boston & Main, the Bos-
ton & Albany, and the New York.
New Haven & Hartford. The Bos-
ton & Main controlled everything
east and north of Boston, the Boston
& Albany and New Haven companies
everything west and southwest of
Boston.
Between the coast points a very |
extensive freight and passenger bust
ness was carried on by water.
Through the interior trolley lines
were beginning to be OF great I'm
p%ortance, and to threaten the steam
lines with steadily growing compe-
tition. To-day this entire vast bust
ness. steam rail, electric rail, and
maritime is practically in the mailed
fist of the New Haven except what
is controlled by the Boston & Albany.
But the Boston & Albany is largely
controlled blythe same powers that
own the New Haven, and the two
roads have a close traffic arrange
ment for their mutual advantage.
"The curious spectacle is now pre-
or six populous and busy
states whose transportation of every
considerable kind is gripped by one
small group of capitalists and oper-
ated by them for their sole benefit.
In that entire region. bustling with
traffic, they can lay upon the inhab-
what tribute they please.
What does all this mean for the
ready been increased Ave per cent,
public? Passenger rates have al
and Mr.. Mellen is arguing in favor of
an increase of freight rates"

ROCKEFELLER GREETED
REV. ARTHUR T. BROOKS

Tarrytown, N. T., Nov. 25:-For
the first time since residing in larry
town Mr.. John d. Rockefeller broke
his rule against going out at night.
The occasion Tuesday night was the
recognition services of the Rev.
Arthur T. Brooks, formerly a resi-
dent of T~ottenville, as minister of
the First Baptist church.
Mr.. Rockefeller came down from
Pocantico Hills In his automobile
with a party OF friends, and was one
of the most interested members of
the congregation. He congratulated
Mr.. Brooks and waited and shook
hands with all those present and
joined in the social that followed.
He said that he had thoroughly en-
ioyed the program, and felt sure that
a new era for a greater work had
begun at the First Baptist church, in
which he is SO much interested.
After the exercises a social hour
was enjoyed, when a reception was
rendered to Mr.. 'and Mrs. Brooks.
Mr.. Rockefeller furnished all the
floral decorations for the church
from his private nurseries at Pecan
tico Hills.

taken such accurate aim, especially
twice, and after the first shot had taken
a human life as its toll.
While all this was being enacted on
the first floor of the dwelling, Mrs.
Sears, the housekeeper, was in her room
on the second floor. Mrs. Sears and her
son occupied rooms in the frame portion
of the Armstrong dwelling, and the
shooting took place in the main or brick
house.
Crept Under the Bed.
Fearful of her life, as she says. the
colored woman ran into the room where
her son has slept since boyhood, and
then erept under the bed. Whether or
not she/realized the extent of the awful
tragedy which had been enacted on the
floor below, the woman does not seem
able to tell, but after a while she re-
gained her courage, and then, accord
ing to her story, arose and looked out
of the window towards the barn.
Out in the mist and darkness she dis
covered a figure advancing and the.
mother love and instinct told her the
person was her son. Although it was
utdI Ou6 " ClOCh III lu6 hOIHluR, rs
Mrs. Sears says she thinks it must have
been, although this is purely guess work
she not being able to tell the time, she
gathered more courage and started down
the stairs. As her son approached the
door she threw-it open and told him
something had happened.
Lights left burning in both the sit
ting room and study made plain the
vision of the stiffened forms and at
once the son knew what had happened.
Sounded Alarm.
fastening to the farm house of
George Dennison, young Sears aroused
the family and told them that Rev. Nh.
and Mrs. Armstrong had been shot.
Mr.. Dennison ran to the scene of the
murder, but it is said that young Sears
was very much agitated and that 1t was
