Saturday evening at Eagles Hall
the citizens of Malta and vicinity
witnessed the first double-headel
basket ball game ever played in this
city. The Harlem girls and boys
teams locked horns with the Malta
teams, the games both resulting in
victory for the Malta teams; the
girls score was 7 to 5, the boys
score so to s. Victory was eagerly
sought by both teams and it was this
great strife for victory that made the
spectators wish that both sides
might win, for there never was a
time from start to finish in the
games when the contestants loafed
or time when they did not put forth
every possible effort to make score.
j. M. Gardner refereed the games
and made a very careful and impair

This was the Malta girls initial
game. The game with the Harlem
team, whose efforts had been crowned
with success on several occasions
with other teams, was evenly
matched agd hotly contested. With

the Malta team, for though this was

The memorial is to consist of a plain
shaft $50 feet high, erected near the
shore of Lake Erie, at a point off which
the battle was fought. There is to be a
terrace or plaza leading down ts the

another is to a memorial building to

The estimated cost of the memorial is

various state commissions.
AS part of the celebration the Nj

Perry, which is sunk in Erie harbor,
will be raised and made seaworthy. It

No Hereditary Descent in Politics

r HE passing of great baronial houses
in politics is stimulated by the last
elections. Another blow has been de-
nvered to the practice in several in
stances of handing the senatorial toga
from father to son. State Senator Ar
thur P. German, Democrat, of Mary
land, was only running for governor
to be sure, but it was generally rec
ogn1zed that had he been elected he
would soon have become a formidable
candidate for the United States senate,
where his father of the same name
served for many years. The late Sen
ator German started his only son upon
a political career by reason of his in
fuence with the state machine, and
undoubtedly looked ahead to the day
when the son would become a senator.
The Germans are related to the d.
vises and Elkinses, of West Virginia, a
neighboring state. All three families
made considerable money in the same
ventures, but not all their money for
the late Senator German died a mil
lionaire, the late Senator s. B. Elkins,
Republican, died a multi-millionaire,
and ex-senator Henry Gassaway Davis,
cousin of German and father-in-law of
Elkins, is the richest of them all and
close to 80 years old. Young Davis
Elkins got into the United States SEN

SATURDAY,, FEBRUARY "a, 1912

1t has been more or less asserted by
scientists and others that both Adam
and Jesus Christ were not white,
which, of course, is easy to believe,
when one thinks of the fact that even
at the present time only about one
eight of the population of the world
is white. But now comes a Theoso-
phist, D. S. M. Unger of Chicago, who
declares he knows for a fact that
Christ is coming back to earth within
the next twenty years. Says Mr..
Unger: whenever a nation or the
world really needs great leader, he
turns up. The world is sadly in need
of a great religious leader these days
and so I know Christ is coming back
within the next twenty years. And,
in order that humanity may have no
trouble in being certain of the pres
ence of Christ, he will have brown
body"
Well, if Christ returns to this earth
brown in color, there are people in
the United States who will not accept
him.

Fraud Promoters Enriched by Millions

erage person that there are enough
"easy marks" in the United States to

An East indian by the name of Bus

Evidently Bustonjee is a paid ennis

object the crushing out of the liberty

twin conclusions drawn by the Rev
