remarked it, naming it malaria and
prescribing Quinine. Whereat Char
lOtte dissembled and put on a mask of
cheerfulness, keeping it on until after
the evening meal and her aunt's early
retiring. But when she was released
she was glad enough to go out on the
promenade just forward of the star
beard paddle-box. where there were
no after-dinner loungers, to be alone
with her problem and free to plunge
once more into its intricacies.
It was possibly ten minutes later.
while she stood leaning against a
stanchion and watching the lights of a
distant town rise out of the watery
horizon ahead, that chance. the final
arbiter in so many human involve
ments, led her quickly into the valley
OF decision. She heard a mans step
on the steeply pitched stair leading
down from the hurricane deck. Before
she could turn away he was confront.
ing her; the man whose name on the
Belle jules crew roster was John
Wesley Gavitt.
Griswold's appearance was less for
tuitous than 1t seemed to be. AS re-
ward of merit for having saved the
mates life, he had been told OF to
serve temporarily as man-of,all-worh
for the day pilot, who CHANGED to be
without q steersman. His watch In
the pilothouse was over. and he wa,
low when he stumbled upon Miss
Farnham. Mindful of his earlier slip
he passed her as IL she had been in
visible. She let him 60 until her op
portunity was all but lost; then. pluck

grabbed the gun with one hand and
threw his other arm about the high

threw a towel over his face he said
and he inhaled the fumes OF ammo

from him for a time. When he reviv-

WASHINGTON, March l6.-Plans
are being prepared by the navy de-
partment in the light of the Euro
pean war for the great dreadnaughts
recently authorized by congress,
whereby provision has been made for
the construction within the hull of
a second tier of compartments, next
to the skin of the ship and on the
sides, to keep out torpedoes.
It is expected that a torpedo dis
charged from submarine, even II
it penetrated the ships side, would
explode harmlessly in the outer com
partment and that the damage
would be so localized that the ship
would not be sunk.

That Pendleton is being recognized

office of the express company, rep

Parlett has been able to negotiate for
500 head in a preliminary way and
hopes to get the balance of the ship

to be readily seen that the buyers

not nearly so particular as to color

few years ago. His two sons fought

those stirring times. Five years ago
Lemon was tried for the murder of a
friend, David Hall, but was acquitted.
He was again brought before the judge
for trial when he was arrested for sell
ing liquor unlawfully Several wit
nesses were brought to testify against
him, but none of them were able to
swear that he was guilty. He was
again acquitted and went home. His
constant companion is a cat which he
loves dearly, and his old time musket.
He makes his living weaving baskets
and is quite an expert at that trade.

Henrietta Hicks, one hundred and
three years old, Negress, believed to
be the oldest person in st. Clair coun-
ty. was taken to the county farm at
Belleville, where she will spend the
remainder of her life. She is only
four feet tall.
She was born in Africa in 1872, but
when girl was brought to this coun-
try as a slave. Although freed by the
Civil war. she remained on Tennes-
see plantation until 20 years ago, when
she went to East st. Louis. where she
hade her home with son. But as he
now is seventy-five years old, he is be-
coming too old to work toward the sup
port of anyone beside himself, and for
that reason his mother was placed in
the care of the county.
Mrs. Hicks is suffering from partial
blindness, but is otherwise in perfect
health. She has an excellent memory
and is able to recount many stories of
battles of the Civil war.-St. Louis Re-

At the diocesan convention in Sc
wickley, Pa, two years ago, a con-
siderable sum of money was raised for
the enlargement of work among col
ored people in Pittsburgh, to which
additional gifts have since been add
ed, bringing the aggregate amount up
to about $4,000. At that time the
only church for them was st. Angus
tines mission, situated in rather in
adequate building on the North side,
whereas the bulk of the colored people
live in what is known as the Hill
Section" of the city. Much delay was
occasioned in getting the work started
by search for an eligible location,
and troublesome litigation concerning
title. A hall was rented about six
months ago, and a Sunday school
and afternoon service started, SO that
there is now fiourishing Sunday
school and a good congregation. Dur
ing the last few weeks st. Paufs Me-
mortal church, built in the Hill dis
trict, several years ago before the
colored element was so numerous in
the neighborhood, has been purchased

of trustees for the diocese, for the
use of the new colored congregation,
for the sum of $12,500 St. Paul's will
probably now locate on Herron's Hill,
where our church is not as yet rep
resented. The new mission has been
called st. Philips, and is under the
charge of Rev. Scott Wood, d. D.,
formerly priest in charge of st. Au-
gustines, North side. The latter Will
be cared for by the Laymen's Mis-
sionary league until such time as
suitable clergyman can be secured.
The first service was held in the
church on Sunday evening, June ID,
when Archdeacon Bigham, chaplain of
the Laymens league, preached. SD
perintendent Hance of st. Barnabas'
home made few congratulatory re-
marks, and the bishop confirmed a
class of thirty-two, the first fruits OF
the mission.

He has learned that a thorough study
of the masters gives knowledge OF

for compositions that will establish a
great school of music and enrich mu-

Booker T. Washington, to whom
both races In America are indebted
for an activity in public affairs alto
gether helpful to both, is on one of
his tours delivering addresses on SUBJ
1ects in which his race is very much
interested. Speaking to large meet
1ngs of his own people in New York
and Brooklyn the other day, he said:
IL you expect to hold your own in
the keen competition of the North
when the war in Europe is over and
immigrants come in again by the
hundreds of thousands and millions,
you have got to take advantage of
every opportunity for better training
offered by the public school system,
and by such organizations as the
Urban League. the Young Mems
Christian association and the Young
Woman's Christian association"
This advice is all gold, and every
colored man and woman in the North
should follow it. Everything indicates
heavy immigration from Europe at
the close of the war; and it will be
composed of the poorer classes-un-
skilled laborers escaping the impover-
ishment that has fallen on their old
homes. America will invite more
strongly than ever.
The colored man in the North is
as a rule an unskilled laborer, and
restricted even in that field. Not
many avenues. of employment are
open to him. AS competition grows,
therefore, he must meet it by greater
industry and higher competency, or
go to the wall.
The colored man in the South will
not feel this pressure. The tide of
this new immigration will not set In
that direction. Where he is a field
hand. conditions for him will remain
about as they have been. Where he
is an unskilled laborer, in town or
city, competition will not be much
greater than before.
But, North and South, the colored
man should bestir himself The new
times coming will mean much to him
He is in the land of opportunity The
great majority of the white people
sympathize with every worthy effort
he makes to better himself as man

and satisfaction the progress he has
made in his half century of freedom
and they will help him further along
the road as often as he merits their
assistance.
Professor Washington's constant ad
Duration to his people is to live good
lives, acquire property, cultivate the
friendship of their white neighbors
and identify themselves as far as may
be with things of the best report
where they reside. The criminal, the
drone, the shiftless, the incompetent
are a reproach to their race. and q
drag on the community. And in the
whirl and hustle of business expected
to follow the close of the war now rag
ing, the unworthy of either race in
this country will be more unworthy
because more in the way, than ever.
