Pope Decides Not to Grant Au
dience as He is With
Outlook.
HOME, August S.—A curious Inci
dent has come to light as ft conse
quence of the troubles which marked
Mr. Roosevelt's sojourn In Rome.
Hamilton W. Mable, ->f New York,
was some time ago in Italy, and while
he wan In Rome even thing had been
arranged at the Vatican in order that
he might have a private audience with
the pope. When it learned at |
the apostolic palace that he was one
of the editors of The Outlook all the
arrangements were countermanded. It
was feared that an audience to a
colleague In editorship of Mr. Roose
velt might bring about further com
plications in a situation already suffl
ciently embarrassing
TIB AND FEATHERS
FOR THE ACTORS
WASHINGTON. PA . Au*. *.-*-An- j
gry because itinerant vaudeville ad>|
i tors used questionable language at a
show given in the Brownlee school
nouse, at Wylandville. Friday night, a
band of young farmers tarred and
j feathered six of the actors, ducked <
them in a creek and later drove them !
from the village.
I The vaudeville troupe was hilled
I for two nights, the affair being adver
tised as a "dean performance with I
four big acts." The schoolhouse was
I Jammed. An attempt by one of the I
actors to produce a laugh by sti ob
scene joke drew a protest from one of
the young farmers. The protest went
unheeded.
A majority of the farmers led their
sweethearts from the building. Eater '
every young man in the neighborhood
reappeared with buckets of tar and ;
some feathers.
They coated the six offending actors,
not sparing the two women of the i
troupe. Following the tarring al! six
were dumped into a creek and then
told to hasten out of the village. They
walked eight miles to Washington af
ter midnight, but were told there to
keep moving.

COAST ARTILLERY
Four Companies from Norfolk
and Portsmouth tit Fortress
Monroe for Ten I)avs.
About two hundred members of Vir
ginia's Coast Artillery Corps, First and
Second Companies, from Norfolk, and
the Third and Fourth, from Forts
moth. assembled at Fortress Monroe,
Old Poln^ Monday for their second an
nual encampment and target practice.
They will remain at this big army post
for ten days, during which time offi
cers of the United States Coast Artil
lery will Instruct the militiamen in the
are of using the big twelve-inch dis
appearing rifles.
The battalion is under command of
Captain Charles A. Mcl-ean, acting ma
jor.
The soldiers left Norfolk early Mon
day morning and arrived at Old Point
about an hour later. They immedi
ately went into camp, each company
being assigned to one of the coast de
fense batteries.
Ten days of hard work are before
the Tidewater militiamen. They will
be up at the break of day and all day
go through rigid military routine, end
ing the day with a lecture at the coast
artillery school.
The last days of the camp will be
devoted to the big gun work. The
First and Second Companies have had
experience with this duty, having gone
through It for the first time at last
year’s encampment. The Third and
Fourth Companies, of Portsmouth,
have been organized since then.
The coast artillery Is Virginia’s
youngest arm of the militia. The War
Department has displayed a great deal
of Interest in this branch of the ser
vice, thoroughly equipping each of ttie
four commands.
Through the East, especially in the
New England States, the coast artil
lery has become a fad and in many
of the cities and towns along the sen
board and sound coasts keep up only
companies of coast artillery, having
abolished the infantry and field ar
tillery.
The coast artillerymen are as well
trained as the infantrymen. They are
constantly put through foot drills and
use the same tactics with rifles as
their brothers who wear the blue In
stead of the red stripes.

CALIFORNIAN WANTS TO
ASCERTAIN FEW FACTS
In Letter to Baptist Publication, He Intimates lie Will Subscribe
to Paper if Editor W'll Only Find Out Something About
Wife’s Father's Estate.
Rev. Dr. R. H. Pitt, editor of the ,
Religious Herald, haj an opportunity
to add another subscriber to his list,
hut the conditions are so exacting mat '
he fears he will bo unable to annex
this special subeorlher-ln-vlew, who Is
none other than a former Itinerant
preacher, now residing In Bllsbee,
Cal
T ie prospective subscriber, to make
a long story short, has Indicated In a
letter to Dr. Pitt that he will have
his name entered on the Herald's list
If its editor will only consult the
members of the legal profession In
Richmond and ascertain a few facts
of Interest to the Californian.
In short, the Californian wants to
know whether any lawyer In Rich
mond had a part In the distribution
of his wife's estate In some city in
North Carolina ten or fifteen years
ago. He thinks that If he can get
hold of this Information his better
half will he able to land a few hun- :
dred dollars, which doubtless went to
somebody else when the estate was dl- j
vided.
The ex-preacher explained that hard
luck having befallen him since he
emigrated West some years ago, he
had been compelled to forsake the
ministerial pnrsuit to keep the wolf
from the door.
At the close of his letter he Insert- ,
ed the promise to subscribe to the
Herald if Its editor would only find
out the Information desired.
Dr. Pitt, speaking of the epistle j
later, said It was hardly likely that
he would make a canvass of the Rich- j
mond legal fraternity, but he spoke ■
as if he might give the matter some
attention If anyone came forward and ,
volunteered the information desired.
"Human nature Is a funny thing,”
remarked the doctor, as he filed the 1
letter away and turned his attention !
to other weightier subjects.

NEOROES ORDERED TO MOVE.
NEWPORT NEWS. VA.. August 8. 1
—Serious trouble In the Virginia avs- ]
nue section of this city may occur
unless colored people who have of
late been moving into that neighbor- j
hood, formerly an exclusive white I
residential section, heed warnings that
have been given them to depart. This
morning the half dozen or mors
dwellings occupied by the negroes;
were found almost covered with
placards printed in red and reading:
"Negro, U is time to move.” "If you
can't move to-day, you had better
move to-morrow.”
"WHITE CITIZENS.”
The posting of these placards, prs
sumably by while cttisens living in
the vicinity, follows the refusal of the
negroes to consider a request to get
nut of the nSTghh.'fh'iod made by »
committee of white men s*-xeral days
ago.
The white people are much wrought
up over the invasion of their section.
