The real Abe Martin in his
Lecture on Brown County
Folks" at Elks Fair next
Wednesday night.
MAKES EXPLANATION
George Brown Tells His
Side of Story.

George G. Brown, local magazine
agent, submits the following:
To the Editor:
I think it is only fair to myself, as
well as my friends and patrons, that
the people Of Richmond are informed
regarding some phases of the maya
zine business.
When an order is taken by the
agent, it requires in most cases at
least two or three weeks for the pub.
Usher to enter same after it is receiv-
ed In their office. Now many of the
magazines go out of print soon after
the issue is mailed out and in this
case the subscription has to be he'd
until the next issue, making in all a
wait by the subscriber of about seven
weeks.
The average daily mail of the larg-
est publishers is about 10000 letters
each day. so with a force of several
hundred clerks mistakes are very liza.
BILE to happen. A number Of people
have complained to the local prosecut-
ing attorney regarding non-receipt Of
magazines, one man having in his
possession a letter stating his sub
| scriptiOn has never been received by
| tho publisher. On the face Of such
evidence it looks very bad for the
| agent. but | have kindly had the per-
mission Of Mr.. NJ. h. Craighead and
w. s. Spencer. care OF Gaar. Scott G.
! Co, of this city to use their names
| as they have both had very peculiar
| happenings connected with the maya.
zine orders placed with me. Mr.. Craig
head has in his possession a letter
from the Boston Cooking School
magazine stating they had never re-
ceived an order through me and did
not know me. but at the same time
he has been receiving his magazines
for the past six months. Mr.. w. s.
Spencer paid for one Ladies' Home
Journal and asked for a change in ad-
dress. For a time he received two
another. at the present time he is
still receiving two magazines each
month, whereas his order was for one.
l have had Mr.. Ladd and your re.
porter. both read a letter received by
me from one of the large magazines
dated March eth. stating that all or.
ders received by them up to February
18th were entered to begin with the
April issue. 1t must be remembered
that the issues go to press about a
month or six weeks before the maya
zines are mailed to the subscribers.
| I think any fair minded person can
reason with the aid of the above facts
that delays of several weeks may oc
cur after orders are placed before the
subscription can begin.
! want to advise any person that
has placed their subscription with me
II they have any delay which l can
not explain to their entire satisfaction
that am in position to refund their
money on any orders taken by myself
from them, for magazines and would
consider II a favor If they would com
municate with me at once.
Very truly yours,
Geo. c. Brown.

FOLEY WILL SPEAK
ATLOCAL Y. M. C.. A,

The mems meeting at the Young
Mems Christian association in the
gymnasium on Sunday afternoon at
2:3O o'clock will be one of the most
interesting held there this year. The
speaker, Attorney Michael E. Foley
of Indianapolis, a member of the Ro-
man Catholic church, and active in
the Y. NJ. c. A. work. has spent much
time during the fall and winter in
association work, and has addressed
several audiences at Sunday after
noon Y. NJ. C. A. meetings. He makes
a strong plea for clean living and good
citizenship. In connection with the ad-
dress the association officials have ar
ranged for a musical program to be
in charge of Leroy Lacey, well
known vocalist who has been devoting
much time to evangelistic work dur
ing the past six months.

Hear Abe Martin tell about
''BrOwn County Folks" at
the Elks Fair next Wednes-
day night.
COBB AND BUSH OUT
Two Crack Tiger Players Not
Speaking.

Hot Springs. Ark. March 11.-Be-
cause ne tried to crab Onie Bush,
the short stop de luxe of the Tigers. r.
Raymond Cobb. the champion hitsmith
Of the American league. Is very unpop-
uiar. And incidentally. because he re-
fused to Grabbed" Onie Bush is the
most popular kiddo on the Royal Ben
gals.
A Detroit business man. who Is here
with the veteran members of Hughie
Jennings tribe. says the Tiger players
are all allied against Cobb. The De-
troitcr says he has the dope straight
from Sam Crawford. Bill Donovan and
Jim Delehanty.
When Bush broke in at the wind-up
OF 1905. Cobb tried his hardest to
make things miserable for the little
fellow. Bush is mere boy and he
had the rest Of the Tigers with him.
Cobb continued to crab the little fell
low. though. until it became so strong
that Sam Crawford put his finger In
the pie. Sam threatened to slap Ty's
face II he ever criticised the shortstop
again. Cobb knew what was what. so
he quit Kidding Bush and everybody
knows what Onie has done
Now Ty isn't on speaking terms
with any members Of his team. They
pass him up. and he speaks only when
he 10 spoken to. Moreover. Cobb's
best play does not draw any applause
from his team mates. and the more Of
ten he strikes out the better his fellow
players are pleased. That's why the
Detroit business man fears that Jen.
nings will have hard time ever re-
peating his championship conquests
OF 19O7.0S.09.

Of the youths of that place, and dis
gushing the good, law-abiding public.
Parsons, popularity known as Ban

Washington, March 1.-THE Sixty
first Congress, like number of its
predecessors, was billion-dollar body,
and it probably will require all the
skill of the best men in the Democratic
party in the next House to bring the
expenditures of the Government for
the fiscal year 1913 below that mark,
which was set several years ago.
The appropriations for the last Con-
gress exceeded those of the Sixtieth
by only S6OO,OO and this, Mr.. Tawn-
ey said. in statement Friday:
Notwithstanding the country is two
years older in all that period of time
means and measures for the richest
and most progressive people in the
world"
Mr.. Tawney also points out that not
in years have the appropriations come
SO near equaling the estimates, all of
which bears testimony to the good
faith and successful effort of Presi-
dent Taft in his execution of the law
requiring closer scrutiny of the esti-
mate. While the sundry civil and 9th
er bills have been swollen, Mr.. Tawn-
ey points to the fact that the expendi.
lures of the army have been reduced
| almost $S,OOO,O0O and on account of
the navy almost 100000.
Renews recommendation.
Mr.. Tawney renews his recommen.
dation for the consolidation OF the ap-
propriating jurisdiction of the House
| under a Sinpla cop, I'M iftoo ne cufficiont
size to be representative of all Sec
tions of the country and of all branch
es of the public service. Eight com.
mittees now consider and report ap.
Precipitation bills, and Mr.. Tawney says
no reform is more important.
| The Committee on Appropriations,
which reports more than half Of the
total appropriations of Congress, re-
ported during the first regular session
of the last Congress $15,933,925 less
than the estimates, while the appropri-
atoms of all the other appropriating
committees, according to Mr.. Tawney,
were 1881 ,402 in excess of the esti.
mate. Mr. Tawney claims that if this
consolidating reform had been effect
ed it would have saved SCI, 100000 at
that session alone.
| Mr.. Tawney says one of the evils
incident to this divided appropriation
jurisdiction is the practice of making
appropriations Immediately available
large portions of many appropriations
being, in fact, designed to cover up
deficiencies in the preceding year.

ULYSSES CHAPMAN
ALMOST SCALPED
One Side of Head Denuded
by Forgetful Barber Be-
fore He Escaped.

When Ulysses Chapman, we'll
known resident living at 25 South
Ninth street. climbed into a barber
chair in a south end tonsorial parlor
Thursday evening he pleasantly antici-
pated having a six weeks growth of
hair nicely cut and trimmed, but in
stead he got one side of his head
closely cropped. Before the remain
der of his skull could be denuded he
fed.
Comical though his condition was,
with the hair on the right side of his
head cut a la penitentiary style. but
the other side still displaying a lux
uriant growth. he had to wait until
the next day before he could get the
crop on the left side of his head har-
vested
When he stepped in the barber
chair he gave his orders for hair
cut. The tonsorial artist began chop
ping away. The barber apparently
could only see that Mr.. Chapman's
hair had grown on the right side, for
he cut and cut until only the scalp
was left. The hair on this side fin
ally got SO short that the artist began
nipping the scalp. At just this point.
Chapman startled the barber by jump
ing from the chair and rushing from
the place.
He made for another shop. 1t was
after s o'clock and union rules did not
permit customers being served when
they came in after this hour, no mat
ter how urgent the case might be.
Chapman then went to another I'M
ion shop but could not convince the
BARRIERS there that his condition made
Is excusable for them to turn back the
clock hands and finish the job. He
had to wait until the next day. Then in
order that he might be made as pre-
sentable as possible under the circum-
stances. the left side of his head had
to undergo almost similar treatment
to that which his right had been sub
jected to, much against his will.

BATTLE Is FOUGHT.

Columbus, n. NJ. March 11.-Many
women and children have been killed
in the fighting between Mexican fed
erals and insurrectos at Casas Grande.
Col. Garcia. commander of tho rebels,
who captured the Mexican town. is
still holding It. according to latest ad-
vices. despite the efforts Of the regu-
lars to Hislodge him. Details OF the
battle received today prove It to have
been one OF the most sanguinary as
saults yet made upon fortified town
during the course Of the revolution.
The rebels marched on the town
supported by artillery. When within
range, they opened fire. The MeXi-
can batteries which were placed upon
the housetops, replied but with little
effect as Col. Garcia's men were pro-
tected by the buttes surrounding the
town.
eombard the Town.
Screened by hillsides the rebel bat
terry cannonaded the town for nearly
IL hours. reducing many buildings to
ruins and killing and wounding wo-
men and children and civilians who
had taken refuge in cellars.
The American sharpshooters fight.
ing under the rebel flag wrough havoc
among the Mexican artillerymen.
When the insurrectos marched into
the town II was found that three.
fourths OF the federal gunners had fal-
len from bullets through the brain.
Some OF the wounded had been un'
touched by bullets but were pinned
beneath the wreckage Of splintered
buildings. Others had been killed by
glancing shells.
Temporary hospitals were estab'
lished, but owing to the lack of sur
geons among the insurrectOs, 1t was
many hours before the last Of the
wounded could be attended to. The
wounded Mexican regulars were left
to the last by the physicians, while
the women and children were treated
first.

Hich School "Frats "

Rabbi Wise, one OF the leadins
thinkers In this country. has come
out in unequivocal condemnation OF
the Greek letter fraternity In the
high school. 1T lie the foe OF learn
ing" he says. when we become
alive to the menace of them and
sensible to our own power. the high
school Greek letter fraternlties will
speedily pass. They are unfraternal,
but they are Greek in the magnifyinE
of the arts OF pleasure"
OF course, II ia a travesty on frater-
naIism to call these societies by that
name. especially as they are con-
Quoted in high schools, and we have
the word of such men as President
sehurman Of Cornell that their lnfiu-
ence and effect in colleges and uni.
versities is equally subversive Of any
thing altruistic in its tendencies. In
their spirit and their active operation
these "frats" breed class factionalism
and prejudice, fostering the very ele-
ments most inimical to the principles
OF our democratic system Of public
education. No child's mind In its
formative stage is equal in resisting
force to the bsleful predictions OF
this thing.
But its condemnation need not rest
upon any but the most practical basis
Rabbi Wise simply says the frater-
nifty Is the foe to learning" That
is enough. That puts It out OF all
consideration as a part OF high school
life. And Rabbi Wise is taking nc
arbitrary stand on this proposition,
He is supported by the most advanced
thinkers among our educators today.
II is an exceedingly good thing TO
have the weight Of such mems wis
dom and influence thrown publicly
on the side OF education and against
those things that hurt and hinder It.
But these educators should have the
cooperation Of parents to make their
efforts thoroughly effective.

Respecting the Foreigner.

The Kansas City Star recently
quoted Dr. Arthur Smith, a Congre-
gational missionary of thirty years
experience in China, as saying that
the people and officials OF the United
States needed to learn the lesson of
being respectful to foreigners who
come to their shores. He complains
that we are grossly disrespectful in
the nicknames we apply to them,
such az "Chinks," "Japs," "Bo-
hunks" "Dagos," and the like.
Well. perhaps there ia something
in that; perhaps we might be less
iocular with these newcomers. But,
has DR.. Smith ever noticed how well
these aliens get on in spite of this
"disrespectfur" treatment? Has he
ever observed how little the teasing
seems to affect their ability to ac-
quire our language and our money,
to get hold OF paying businesses and
build commodious homes and be-
come prominent citizens of their COM
munities? Evidently, after all, It
makes little difference to them what
they are called on landing, just so
they get an equal chance with the
natives. Not much to ask2 Possibly
not, but more than they would get
in any other country, their own not
excepted.
Oh. there IL not so much TO COM
plain OF in our treatment of these
newcomers a lot Of them never
l:now what they are being called until
they can understand our language,
anyway. and by then they are
such good, prosperous Americans
they don't care. They laugh and
pass the Joke on to some of the newer
newcomers. So long as people may
come from any part Of the globe
and get the same kind of chance
to live in America as the native
born American gets. they are not
going to worry much over what they
are dubbed at the docks where they
land. It is very difficult. in the light
of what foreign-America is and
stands for. to agree with DR.. smith
in the plant that what Americans
most need to learn IL how to treat
foreigners.
