NEGRO BOSS FOR WHITE GIRLS
Otherwise the Virginia Industrial
School Seems Well Managed.

Richmond, Aug. 1.-THE con-
duct and management of the Virginia
Home and Industrial School for Girls
at Bon Air is again being probed by
the State Board of Charities and Cor
rection. A hearing was hsld Friday
day at the Capitol.
The evidence tends to show that the
home is properly managed with the
exception that Beverly Banks, a ne
gro, is allowed to 'tboss" the white
girls at the institution and has COM
plete control of them while at work
in the gardens.
Miss E. Wright, an expert on men
tally, testified that she had examined
so of the girls at the home and found
two perfectly normal, two in which
mentality was uncertain, four were
backward and the rest were feeble
|mindea-
Witnesses testified that the negro
Banks treated the girls kindly, but
that he called them by their first
names. The general trend Of evidence
was that with the removal of the ne
90 as "boss" of the white girls there
was nothing to be changed in the
conduct of the institution under the
management of Mrs. J. H. Light, who
I,has the girls under perfect disci-
pine.
The board viii report its recommen-
! dagions to Governor Mann.

JEALOUS OF BOY HE SLEW.
Sweetheart of Young Haynes Tcstilic:
at Trial of Glover.

Buckingham, Va, Aug. lin the
trial of Mott R. Glover, for murder
iof Young Meade Haynes, which is
now in progress, the most interesting
witness soday was Miss Evie Clyde
Holman, a pretty girl Of some fifteen
summers. who was admired by the
siam youth and by he slayer. Miss
Holman made an excellent witness
for the prosecution amd what she told
Of having taken place prior to the
killing went to show that the accused
was very jealous Of his rival. Cross
examination failed to shake her aestl-
mony in the least.
The commission of insanity experts
hang pronounced Glover sane at
the present time, the efforts OF The
defense seem to be bent on proving
him insane at The time he killed
young Haynes, and one Of the most
pauhc.ic sights imaginable was when
the defendants aged father and
mother took the stand and told oi
things which have taken place in
their home life and which they
thought tended to show their son oil
Iunsound mind.
The accused sits in court rolling Z
. handkerchief on his Knee, smiling
occasionally at some amusing hap
11elring anil at other times in tear
at what is being said Of him.
The prosecution, having establish
ed the fact of the killing, Is now
trying to prove that jealousy was ,hc
cause and that the accused was sane
at the time.

Grave.

Newport News, Va, Aug. liar
Frv Goodman, of 500 West Cary street
Richmond, was drowned late Satur'
day afternoon while bathing at Buck
roe Beach. Although there were hun
tlreds of other bathers around him al
the time, no one knew of the tragedy
until George Benson, of this city
touched the body in diving. At first
he did not know what the object was
Although efforts were made to re-
suscitate the man, by those who had
recovered the body assisted by ply
sician, they were unavailing. 1t was
said that Goodman had been dead
only a short time when his body was
found by Benson. The water was not
deep at that point and just how he
managed to drown without the knowl-
edge of the other bathers, is some
thing of mystery.

BEES CAUSE REIGN OF TERROR.
Sting Horses Almost to Death and
Clear Streets Of Humans

Danville, Pa, Aug. 11.-An i'm
mense swarm of honeybees, including
all those in several hives, are respon-
sible for reign Of terror in River
side, where, within several squares,
every one was driven off the streets
and many from their homes, while
two valuable horses owned by Fran
els Steffern, were nearly stung to
death.
The bees which caused the trouble
had been hauled several miles and
were in no amiable mood. No sooner
domiciled were they in their new
quarters when they decided to
swarm.
The horses, partly unhitched, were
the first objects the bees saw. Help
less and defenseless, they proved an
easy mark. The driver, Harry Ho-
genbodler, vainly tried to free the
horses of their harness, but before he
succeeded he was so badly stung he
was forced to flee and let the horses
take care of themselves. Others finally
ran to the aid of the horses and
freed them, although badly stuns
themselves.
Meanwhile others of the swarm
scattered themselves throughout that
vicinity and now scores are nursing
frightfully swollen arms.

The Truth About
Electric Cooking

For large families where
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount Of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where
no help is employed, and
where nice equipment is de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient, more certain IN
results and safer in opera
tion-as we'll as reasonable
liz cost.
In every family a few
utensils for early breakfast
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
two--is highly advisable
from every standpoint, in
Guiding That of economy.

DUCHESS OF CROY
REPORTED SNUBBED
AImanach de Gotha Declares
She Is Not of Equal Birth"
With the Duke.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE 1914 edition Of
the Almanach lie Gotha, which has just
appeared. catesorically announces that
the marriage of Miss Nancy Leishman
and the Duke or Croy ''is not mar
riage of equal BIRTH
It is understood that this phraseology,
which is unusual in the Almanach. is
printed at the instigation of the Prus-
sian royal herald's office and is intend
ed rs notice to the duke that his wife
is not entitled 90 the privileges of the
Kaiser's court or the other royal courts
of Germany.
When the Duke of Croy and Miss
Nancy Leishman were married at &C.
neva on october IS, there was a strong
presumption that the bride would not
be acknowledged as the Duchess of
Croy in Germany. The marriage took
place without the consent of the Kaiser,
and with the disapproval of the family
of the duke. Upon the announcement
of the engagement last April, the match
was disapproved at a family council
called by the Dowager Duchess of Croy,
the dukes mother. of members of all
the branches of the Croys in Belgium.
Prussia, France, and Hungary. Later
the Association of High German No
bility, at a meeting at Frankfort-en-
Main also opposed the marriage.

ganic cells and gradually penetrate to

In a certain village near slow run

of cancerous cheek which had been

disease is especially prevalent in villages

While the professor claims to have dis

the truth Of HIS assertions. Prof Bose
