The plot was thus Matched. and it

secretary and one who has worn a
goatee for years, was taken. by sur
prise in his room at The Stockton. The
ultimatum was delivered. The grand

The children's day services given by
the Sunday school Of the First Baptist
Church last evening was a success III
every particular. After opening with
carols and scripture reading, sacred
juvenile cantata, entitled The Morning
of Life" was successfully carried out,
following which the superintendent
made an appeal for the Sunday school
work OF the state mission board which
is developing the Sunday school work
in Virginia. The Baptist schools OF
Virginia are being placed upon an
organized and graded basis. Better
equipment is being provided, the
teachers arc preparing themselves for
their tasks to an extent not hitherto
known, and the outlook ismost promls-

RECKLESS EXPENDITURES.

Tn the Senate on Saturday night
shortly before final adjournment Senator
Shively, of Indiana, took the republican
party to task for their reckless appro-
priations.
For the fiscal year OF 1910, he
pointed out, the appropriations were
S1,055, sos, 1857. According to the
republican figures, the appropriations
for the fiscal year OF 1911 are sl,O26,-
537 800, but he said they failed to in
clude many millions which must be
cared for in the future because Of author
izations made during the session. Among
these millions Mr.. Shively put authori-
cations for $27 900, 900 in the public
buildings bill, SO, $4,000 for con-
tinuing contracts in the rivers and
harbors bill and 1923, $50 for ad-
ditional aid to navigation, for which
no appropriations have been made,
but for which expenditures Congress
has given its pledge. Republican
senators. he said, had been talking
much of economy during the session,
but the record disclosed, he said, that
there had been no progress in that
direction.

HIS HIGH-LOW BATHING SUIT.

Appearing on the beach at Atlantic
City on Saturday in muchabbreviated
skin-tight trunks and shadow jersey
cut more decollete than the most dar-
ing feminine ball dress, Levi; Rhine
hart, who says he is 4 wealthy sugar
planter Of Havana, Cuba, fell victim
to the new city rule against male beach
''posers," and was arrested after blush
ing women in beach chairs had COM
planned TO the pelice.
Policemen wrapped a coat around
the visitor while he was taken TO the
city hall in patrole wagon. Friends
came to his rescue and gave bail.
The arrest followed the new order Of
Mayor stoy, in which he insisted that
men who dress in airy bathing suits for
the purpose of attracting female atten-
ton to their manly forms should be
driven from the beach or arrested.
Rhinehart, who declared his arrest
te be an outrage" insisted that his
costume was not immodest and that
he was not posing, but was on his way
for a swim in the surf. He refused to
give his hotel address, and was hustled
away in an omnibus to don his real
clothes.

LIGHTNING IN GERMANY.

Hardly a day has passed in Germany
since the end of May without its thun-
dcrstorm. A series of mishaps began
at Cologne, where the lightning struck
factory and seriously injured twenty
persons, besides doing material damage.
The same day in Saxony company OF
soldiers were struck and eighteen men
were laid low, three being killed. In
the following three days in the Rhine
land alone twenty persons lost their
lives from the same cause, while twelve
deaths by lightning were announced
from Thuringia. In Luxembourg three
children were killed while on their way
to school, and this by no means ex-
hausts the list OF child victims. The
case Of the six persons killed in the
Jungfernheide forest district outside Of
Berlin, with an accompanying total Of
eighty persons injured, is still fresh in
