FROM OUR READERS :
UP TO MIAMI

To the Editor of The Telegram:
Dear Sir:-With interest read
your editorial on the recent outrage
on ii priest of the Episcopal Church
in Miami, and append the following
Associated Press report of subse-
quent events:
miami, Fla. July 19-Rcv Phillip
S. Irwin. Episcopal rector of church
in the negro quarter. who was tarred
and feathered by unidentified men
Sunday night and warned 10 leave
the city within AS hours, will leave
Miami on the 4:30 O'Clock train this
afternoon for the north, he announced
shortly after noon.
"The preachers decision to depart
followed a conference of ministers
here with Bishop Cameron Mann,
Florida; British Vice-Consul a.
Hubbard, and officers Of the local post
of the American Legion, and despite a
complete generation of the minister
by the bishop following an investiga-
ton of the alleged utterances of the
preacher"
With my wife and Pensioners of
Trinity Episcopal church of Miami, Il
few weeks ago, We attended con-
firmation service in st. Agnes church
when the Rev. Mr. Irwin presented
to the Rt. Rev. Bishop Mann for CON
| frmation some fifty three candidates
for this ancient and holy rite. The
devotional spirit manifested by the
congregation was something to be re-
membered and was an inspiration to
every person in attendance. The
Bishop in his address stated that it
was the largest class presented to
him for confirmation since he be-
came Bishop of the Florida Diocese
and that this church was to him a
new experience in the fact that ii
was absolutely necessary that a new
and much larger church was required
and that very shortly the needs OF
the parish in this respect would be
adequately met.
The rector of the parish, Rev. Mr..
Irwin, has had charge for the past five
years. He has a fine presence, cul.
tured and dignified, good speaker and
would grace any Episcopal incum'
bency of Florida. That a man of
such wide experience and knowledge
Of Southern conditions would have ad.
yocated social equality or mixed mar.
rage with our colored people is
proved false not only only by the
above findings by our revered Bishop

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

THIS CANCEL" WAS A KITE
But Superstitious Railroad Man Who
Shot IL Down Was Certainly
Scared for Time.

"The shooting" says Texas man,
occurred some years ago on the Pan
handle branch of the Santa Fe, and
the hero of the tale was superstitious
engineer who believed In warnings
zone night he was rolling along at
good speed, when he saw clear,
white light, like will-o-the-wisp,
dancing over the track few hundred
feet In front. He shut off steam and
came to stop as quickly as he could.
The conductor and train crew came
running up to the engine to see what
was the matter.
"There is some one swinging a lam
tern across the track said the engi-
neer, and the crew went ahead to In
vestigate.
"'We can't find anyone reported
the rear brakeman. and the engineer
pulled out again, but he went slowly,
and in few minutes stepped again.
The crew went ahead once more to
see what was the cause of the light.
The conductor, who was good shot,
drew his revolver, and at his second
shot there was crash, scream, and
the light went out, and something
white came fluttering down from the
clouds.
"The engineer was scared. You've
shot an angel, sure he said to the
conductor, with face as pale as
death.
Investigation brought out the fact
that small boy, with lantern tied
to the tail of kite, was the cause OF
the trouble; but for long time II

Unconditional telephone, failed to excite
even the ghost of her smile.
The death of LeonOra had bereft the
man of all claim upon her considera-
ton, rendering him hopeless1y incom-
petent for harm. He had become moth

| incident served merely to remind her
that she had. neglected to tell Fosdick
about the fellow, his effrontery, the
| insolence Of his il-veiled threats.
Now the bitterest melancholy OPP
pressed her, desolation indescrib-
able; the vision of the pool was con-
slant in her imagination, obscuring
even material objects that passed I'M

submerged N tepid, black, viscous

Fosdick called UP about mid-morn-
! ing and, hearing her report on the
effect of the drug, told her to discon-
tinue it, promising to bring sub
stitute when he called in the evening.
She promised to be at home to him
alone.

| telephone a second time. Mr.. Chill
vers was on the wire 'sTell him I've
left town for the summer" Priscilla
said, too depressed to feel annoyed by
his persistence.
But when she was leaving Altman's
in the afternoon after an hour or two
of perfunctory shopping. Mr.. Chilvers

his beaming topper and smirk of
poisonous amiability.

w. DEFIANCE.

Late in the evening the telephone
interrupted the supervision of her
packing, with which Priscilla was en-
deavoring to divert her weary thoughts
and with no great success.
Her maid being busy at the moment,
Priscilla answered in person, and suf-
fered slight shock when she heard
the studied accent of Mr. Harry Chill
vers-so completely had she forgotten
the man. Mr.. Chilvers chirped
briskly:
"Oh, hello, Nora! This is Harry.
What happened to you this afternoon
Forget our date for tea? Or did some
tring get in your wayT"
Quite evidently Mr.. Chilvers was
prepared to be good fellow and over
look that slight. But Priscilla replied
with an apathy nothing short of Gym
ical:
Miss Maine is not at home"
An oath of resentful incredulity was
cut in two as she clicked the receiver
