Dickens and Toole.

An interesting story attaches to the
Alexander Institute, Carter street,
Walworth, which Is now being adver-
t1sed for SALE. It was in this hall,
formerly the Walworth Literary and
Scientific Institution, that ]. L. Toole
scored some of his earliest successes
as an amateur actor, and it was there
that he was discovered" by Charles
Dickens in the spring of 1852. Some
Of Toole's friends, impressed by the
young mans talent, besought Charles
Dickens to see him act and advise
him as to his future career, and the
great novelist, though then hard at
work on BLEAK House." good natured-
1y found time to journey to Walworth
in compliance with this request. 81
remember" he told Forster, what
once wanted myself in that way, and
I should like to serve him"
Toole himself, writing half a cen
fury later, thus recalled this momen-
tous event in his career In company
with Mark Lemon and John Forster,
Charles Dickens paid kindly visit to
the Walworth Literary Institution for
the purpose of seeing him act and re-
cite in the monologue Trying Mag
fstrate." Dickens was strong in his
expressed opinion that his vocation
was the stage, and the stage only

house IL Miles From Lanark, Scot
land, After Two Hours Adventure
Sensation Of Scotch Meet.

Lanark, Scotland.-J. Armstrong
Drexel, the American millionaire avta-
tor, Thursday night attained the
worlds altitude record by ascending
1850 feet, according to the official an
nouncement.
His barogram will be submitted to
the experts oSthe Kew observatory in
London, who will determine the accu-
racy of the measurements.
Drexeps fight was the sensation of
the aviation meeting. Ascending at
seven o'clock in the evening, he shot
up into bank of clouds and d1sap-
peared from the gaze Of the anxious
crowd. His airship landed about two
hours later IL miles from Lanark.
Aeronauts are enthusiastic over
Drexeps feat. He made his attempt
with the announced purpose of break
ing Robert A. Brookins' record, but
his success excelled even the expecta-
tons which he expressed to friends.
He descended only when his supply OF
gasoline became exhausted.
Asbury Park, N. J. BENJAMIN
Prinz, a balloonist, was dashed
to death at the close of the program
of the aviation meet at Interlaken
field, when he lost his grip on his
trapeze and his life line broke. He
fell 5000 feet into tree. Ten thou
sand persons saw him plunge. His
body was horribly mangled.
The accident was due to the youths
own carelessness. Before swinging off
the ground under the huge hot air bal
loon in company with his team mate,
James Flemming, Prinz forgot to
buckle his safety belt to the trapeze
bar of the parachute.
He was scheduled to make what Is
known as double parachute drop.
When the first parachute opened after
fall of 100 feet, the jar of the sud
den check was SO abrupt that the boy
was thrown from his scant perch and
came hurting earthward simultane-
ously with the second parachute,
which he cut loose in his agonized en-
deavor to grasp the bar.

TONGUES of the Mighty,

Future candidates for the presi-
dency of the French Republic will be
thinned out If the demand of French
newspaper be aocepted-that presi-
dents should show fluent acquaintance
with English and German. There is
not a president on record who has
reached that requirement, for presi-
dents are made-self-made-n born.
1t is the business of king to learn
several languages, and as he is born
he is made to talk with many tongues.
The Austrian Kaiser is perhaps the
most splendi diving instance. But
presidents and ministers are not
nursed into multilingualism. Can we
put up a cabinet minister capable of
1luency in three languages ?-Westmin

If She Is an Intelligent Housekeeper
Her Home Will Be Happy
One.

A girl should marry when she ls
capable of understanding and fulfill
ing the duties of a true wife and
thorough housekeeper, and never be-
fore. No matter how old she may be,
If she is not capable of managing a
house in every department of 1t she
is not old enough to get married.
When she promises to take the po-
sition of wife and homemaker the
man who holds her promise has ev-
cry right to suppose that she knows
herself competent to fulfill it. If she
proves to be incompetent or unwill-
ing he has good reason to consider
himself cheated.
No matter how plain the home may
be, it is in accordance with the hus-
bands means, and he finds it neatly
kept and the meals Ono matter how
simplex served from shining dishes
and clean table linen, that husband
will leave his home with loving words
and thoughts and look ahead with
eagerness to the time when he can
return. Let the girl acquire every
accomplishment within her power, the
more the better, for every added ac-
complishment will be that much more
power to be used in making a happy
home.
At the same time, if she cannot go
into the kitchen, If necessary, and
cheerfully prepare as good a meal as
anyone could with the same material,
and serve it neatly after it is pre-
pared, she had better defer her mar
rage until she learns how such house
hold matters are performed. If girls
would thoroughly fit themselves for
the position of intelligent housekeep-
ers before they marry there would be
fewer discontinued, unhappy wives
and more happy homes.-Woman's

PAUPERIsM IS INDIAN PERIL
SALES OF LANDS WOULD MEAN
RED MEMS RUIN.
Cecil Lyon Tells Gore Inquiry Com
mittee His Connection With
McMurray Contracts.

Sulphur, Okla. - Witnesses testi.
fed before the Gore congressional
Indian land investigating committee
that If the Indian lands in Oklahoma
were sold and the $50, 100000 proceeds
were turned over to the Indians in
cash, the state within ten years would
be flooded with paupers.
1t was asserted that many of the In.
dams who signed the McMurray con-
tracts, allowing ten per cent. "attor-
ney fee" to j. F. McMurray and his
associates. were financially irresponsi-
BILE. They would soon squSnder the
cash, it was declared, and within a
few years the country would be con-
fronted with the problem of how to
take care of them
Except for the appearance on the
stand OF Cecil A. Lyon, Republican
national committeeman of Texas, the
witnesses were all Indians Mr. Lyon
told of his financial interest in the old
tribal McMurray contracts, which pro-
y1ded for ten per cent, fee, but which
were disapproved by President Roose-
welt in 1908.
Asked if he had been invited by Nc
Murray to join in the deal because Of
his political influence and his ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr..
Lyon said he supposed he was, but
he also attributed the invitation to
his business ability.
Many Chickasaws testified thew
were willing to give McMurray as high
as 20 per cent. attorneys fees if he
would sell the land within a year.

Tue Rev. Felix X. Strive, Pre-

and an investigating committee have
) suspended the Rev. D. H. Reid,
pastor of Emmanuel Church in
Huntington. to await a trial at the

teaching and preaching unorthodox

That the controversy at the En-
manuel M. e. Church South, which
led to the suspension. OF the pastor,
Rev. David H. Reid. AZ NJ. from
the pastorate to await a trial at the
next annual meeting Of the Western
Virginia Conference, will probably
result in the establishment of an
Institutional church there with Mr..
Reid at It's head, lis believed by
many who are acquainted with the
circumstances in the affair In fact.
as much has been indicated by the
,Sdeposed pastor himself, who stated
that he had entertained the idea Of
such church before the climax Of
the controversy at Emmanuel
: Church was reached.
Mr.. Reid was suspended from his
pastorate and from the active min
. istry by Rev. Felix X. Strive, pre-
siding elder of the Huntington dis
strict. upon the recommendation Of
an investigating committee composed
of Rev. s. H. Anvil. of Guyandotte.
Rev. A. A. HOLSTER, of st. Adams,
and Rev. e. o. Thorne, of Central
M. e. Church, Huntington. The COM
mittee WAS appointed to investigate
charges of unorthodox teaching and
practice brought by some Of the
members of Emmanuel Church. The
charges pertain entirely to doctrine,
and no. word of suspicion has been
whispered in regard to his moral
and Christian character.
He is alleged to have preached
and taught the doctrine Of sanctifi-
cation, or holiness, during series
of revival meetings held at the EN-
manuel Church during January and
February. During this meeting he
was assisted by two young women
from Eastern Kentucky. lay evan
gelists, who preached. from his pull
pit. These women we're stopped
from preaching at the direction O
the presiding elder, but Mr.. Reit
refused to send them away from
the church or from his home, main
tanning that they we're strong in thu
faith and the doctrines of Metho
ldism and capable OF doing goo'
work for the Master under who's
banner they are enlisted.
