Irwin Tucker, who said he was a preacher and an editor, was among the thir teen compelled to spend the night in a police station. The riot resulted from an attempt of about 1,500 unem ployed men and women to parade. Some of the marchers carried black banners on which were inscribed: “Hunger,” and “We Don't Want Charity. We Want Jobs,” and “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread.” The police demanded that the marchers halt as no permit to parade had been issued. The marchers, ac cording to the police, began to push the banner bearers forward. Fighting started instantly. A number of shots were fired by the police, who finally fought their way into the crowd, arrested 21 and locked them up after the arrival ot squads of reserves.

Green of Grovetown, a sophomore of the Medical College, gives a good account of workings at that institution. The boys have to work very hard. It is a favorable sign in modern progress that the standard in medical training has been so ma terially raised. There seems now a probability that the curriculum will he made a five years' course instead of four as at present and as against two years as formerly. Mr. Green thinks the Barret wing of the hos pital will be ready for use by March first, and that for colored patients by March fifteenth. Mr. B. Joshua Whitaker of Prather's Crossing reports Reed Chapel near Prather’s, as ready for inside furnish ings. It has been the privilege of Mr. Whitaker to help this renovation of the chapel by personal contribution and by personal oversight. The total expense of nearly five hundred dollars has been almost provided for, largely by the untiring efforts of a faithful few. . The grateful appreciation of Pica yuners, as expressed on all sides, for Colonel West’s recent word, is such that I will not trust myself to say more in their behalf than, Thank you, Colonel, for doing the general public a service. The faithful farmer who has braved his hard luck for the past few months and gone ahead and gotten land ready for another sowing before this weath er set In is ahead of any of us fellows who have spent our time complaining of things we can’t help.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) the first in stallment of the much-talked-ahou# serial “The Exploits of Elaine," will be shown at the Strand. Here's a synopsis of the first in stallment, following up the first chap ter of this sensational detective story which appeared in Sunday's Herald: The Consolidated Insurance Com pany of which Taylor Dodge is presi dent, has suffered considerable loss through the mysterious robberies of the master criminal known as "The Clutching Hand." Perry Bennett, a young lawyer, assistant to Dodge, ts endeavoring to discover the criminal. Being of an affable and pleasing per sonality, he creates a deep impression upon Elaine, his employer's beautiful daughter. Dodge is visited by Limpy Red, a gunman wronged by "The Clutching Hand.” Limpy Red advises him how the mysterious crook can Vie found and gives him directions to find his lair. Dodge dismisses the gun man, and on returning to his office finds a mysterious note, advising him to at once destroy the directions re ceived. It is signed by a well drawn picture of a Clutching Hand. Greatly perturbed, he returns to his home. Stepping out of his limousine, he is surprised to find an envelope with his enemy's trade mark pasted on the door. Entering his home, he is met by Elaine, Bennett and Jameson, a reporter. He refuses to he interview ed by the reporter, and enters his li brary, where he deposits Limpy Red's directions in his safe. Jameson, hear ing Dodge remark that he has discov ered "The Clutching Hand,” hastens to his friends, Craig Kennedy, a noted detective, and tells him the news Kennedy is greatly excited by this knowledge, and calling to Jameson to follow him, hastens on his way to Dodge’s home, remarking that he fears for Dodge's life. Meanwhile, as night has fallen, two masked figures ap proach Dodge’s home, and one of them, forcing his way into the cellar dragging wires, approaches the fur nace pipe, and attaches them to it. Dodge, in his library above, as a pre caution, removes Limpy Red’s corre spondence from the safe, and secrets it in a hidden recess in the wall, and places a fake envelope in its place. Turning to answer his telephone, he steps upon an iron register on the floor. As he grasps the telephone, there is a powerful electric flash, and Dodge sinks lifeless to the floor. The deadly wires below have done their work. In a few moments the masked intruder enters the library, notes the dead man, and approaches the safe. Mixing some peculiar powders, he places them on the top of the safe, and ignites a fuse. There is blinding flash, and immediately appears a hale, burned through the top of the safe. The robber puts in his hand, and pulls out the envelope which he supposes contains Limpy Red’s confession, and makes his exit. His partner, search ing out Limpy Red, slays the squealer, whom he followed from a low dive. Kennedy, arrived at the Dodges' home, arouses the servants, and ex plains his fears for their master’s life.
