tions and answers, kept the Tour Depart
ment busy, and aside from this each mail
carried nominations and applications in
profusion from every direction.
There is one point on which the pros
pective entrants do not seem to be quite
clear-that is, the unlimited territory in
which votes may be secured. Candidates
are not restricted to their own district to
secure votes The votes may be gotten
anywhere. BY this method every can
didates chances are equalized.
The Herald did not expect such a tidal
wave OF enthusiasm, although II was
naturally expected that much interest
would .be displayed by The Herald's read
ers in this plan to send three people
around the world, and seven to Europe
and pay their expenses. And why should
II not create interest? II the eligible
men and women who are hesitating had
a full realization of the pleasures which
have been arranged for them on these
trips their hesitancy would be dispelled.
Every comfort that money and care can
secure will be accorded the fortunate win
ners. II will not be an ordinary tour,
OF the Old World. guided by a pilot Of
experience and with a fund of infOrma-
ton about the places to be visited. You
could never learn the interesting history
and traditions attached TO these places
on an ordinary trip, but by special ar
rangement they will be so we'll explained
that they will forever remain with you
as an invaluable educational asset.

LATE DR.. POWER
Memorial Meeting Held at
Vermont Avenue Church.

A meeting marked by its simplicity
was held in memory of the late Rev. F.
D. Power last night at Vermont Avenue
Christian Church, by members of the
congregation. Thirty-six years ago this
month DR.. Power began his services as
pastor Of the church, and it was thought
fitting to hold the meeting as a memorial
Ito his faithful services.
Rev Earle Wilfey. the pastor, opened
the meeting, and called Andrew Wilson
to preside, In an address Rev. Wiley
paid high tribute to the life work of
DR.. Power.
He was a friend of every one" he
said, young and old, who seemed to
need his help. His friendship for in
dividual members of the church was
tender and lasting, and he never failed
to make use of every opportunity to
render a service. His gratitude was
beautiful, and no kindness shown him
ever went without recognition"
Others who made addresses were F. NJ.

Taft Must Stop Lynching, Says
Rev. s. l.. Corrothers.

"If President Taft does not put him
self right with the colored people of this
country IN at least expressing his views
on the wave Of mob violence, which has
cost the lives of many colOred men dur
ing the last year. he will lose a half
million votes at the coming Presidential
election" said Rev. Sylvester L. Cor
IOthers. pastor of Galbraith A. NJ. E.
Zion Church, last night. following the
closing OF the Washington District Con-
ference OF the church.
"JudsOn Harmon has already spoken
against this wholesale lynching OF col
cred men, and he is a Democrat and
President Taft must speak his mind on
the matter or suffer the consequences"
The address last night was made by
Rev G. NJ. Oliver pastor of Union Wes-
ley A. NJ +. Zion Church. His subject
was the missionary work Of the church.
The conference closed with a reception.

necessary the proposed conference be-
tween counsel for the two corporations.
It is considered probable that Chief
Justice Clabaugh, recognizing the Dis
triCt-wide interest in the case, will set
a date as soon after the opening of the
October term as possible.
The Chamber of Commerce, while not
a party TO the suit, Is taking, through It's
legal staff, an active interest in the fight
for universal transfers. The Transit
Company ard the Chamber of Commerce
both want the case to come TO head
quickly.
Those in the Chamber who have given
the most attention to the traction situa-
ton feel that the only way to a per
manent and satisfactory settlement lies
through Congress. In so far as the
question of universal transfers is con-
cerned. the Chamber believes ii is amply
cared for in the measure prepared by
Charles W. Darr last winter and pre-
sented, by request OF the Chamber, in
both the House and Senate.

MADE HIMSELF BLUSH.
A Trick Performed by An Actor
Which Resulted in a Realistic
Stage Effect.

Daniel Frohman in his Memories
of Manager tells of a muscular
trick by which Mr.. F.. F.. Mackay
achieved an astonishing stage effect.
1t was in Bronson Howard's Zone of
Our Girls Mr. Mackay was playing
the part of French count, who, in
one of the chief situations of the play,
is slapped in the face with a glove
by an English officer. Mr. Howard's
idea was that the count should become
violent and furious at the affront, but
Mr. Mackay contended that as he had
been shown in the play to be an eX-
pert duelist and accustomed to danger
he was not likely to lose control OF
himself.
Mr.. Howard saw the point. The re.
suit was that the Frenchman received
the insult without the movement of a
muscle. He stood rigid. Only fash
Of the eye for an instant revealed his
emotion. Then the audience saw his
face grow red and then pale. This
was followed by the quiet announce
ment from the count that he would
send his seconds to the Enghshman.
This exhibition of facial emotion be-
trayed by the visible rush of blood to
the actors face was frequently noted
at the time. 1t was a muscular trick.
Mr.. Mackay put on a tight collar for
THAT scene and strained his neck
against it until the blood came, and
when he released the pressure and the
blood receded the effect was reached.

PLEDGE POLICIES FOR LOANS.

Many men, pressed for money, go

report of the Connecticut Mutual-and
this company's experience is TYPICAL
ARE ever repaid to the company. The
moneys are swallowed up in business
enterprises, in speculations and the
total result means embarrassment and
distress in a great many cases and
poverty in the place Of competence
when the claims mature, and there is
nothing left above the loans but a
mere margin in cash on the policies
for the protection of families or
estates" Men who borrow on their
policies are taking away protection
from their families 1t ought not to be

Davis Arrives In Richmond.

Up to this time the Confederate cap
ital had been in Montgomery. When
Virginia seeded there was an insist
ent call that the Davis government
should be removed to Richmond so
that it could be in close touch with the
war, the ficrcest part of which would
naturally I've waged along the borders
Of Virginia. On May 20 Mr.. Davis ar
rived in Richmond, amid scenes Of
enthusiasm that can be ina gined.
Eight days later the forces Of Virginia
were formally turned over to the Con
federacy, and henceforth till the end
Of the war the Virginia capital was
the seat Of government. On May q
the Confederate congress adjourned to
meet in Richmond on the Goth Of July,
so that Mr. Davis move was only in
obedience to that action.
The house occupied by Davis in
Richmond is still standing and is now
war museum. It is only q block or
two from the capitol building, the
Confederate congress occupying the
old Virginia statehouse. Richmond
now became not only the center Of the
south's activity, but the objective Of
the north's attack. 1t was probably
Greeley in the Tribune who started the
cry "On to Richmond" At this time
northern men believed it only mat

should march into the Confederate
