GENERAL. The savings bank of the Grand Fountain of the Order of True Reformers at Richmond, Va., the largest negro organization, is in the hands of receivers. Mrs. H. W. Bomar of Liberty, Miss., lost her suit for $25,000 damages against the Woodmen of the World, whom she blamed for the death of her husband. Zion City is soon to be governed by the same strict blue laws under the same secret espionage that distinguished it during the reign of John Alexander Dowie, its founder. H. O. Blaisdell won the "professional typewriter speed championship of the world" Friday in New York. He had an average of 109 words a minute in a thirty-minute test against his former record of 95 words. In a single minute contest Rose Fritz, former record holder, wrote 124 words. A new enemy has arisen at last to do battle with the Standard Oil Company—a competitor declared to be backed by almost unlimited capital, with the resources of the Texas oil fields and the advantage of Chicago's railroad and water shipping facilities. The Standard Oil concern's new competitor is the Texas company, which filed its certificate of incorporation under that name in Jolet, Ill., Friday. Snow many days ahead of its average date of appearance has fallen as far south as the north sections of the Gulf states and throughout the entire country. Unseasonably cold weather prevailed. Snow fell at Anniston, Ala., and at Atlanta, where the temperature went to 38. Snow in the Lake Superior region was heavy and killing frosts prevailed in the interior sections of the country. Alan R. Hawley and Augustus Post, the aeronauts of the balloon America II., for whom search had been prosecuted in the Canadian wilds, are safe and have established a new world's record for sustained flight. They traveled approximately 1,350 miles, and came to earth in Chicoutimi county, Quebec, Wednesday, October 19th, but were not heard from until Wednesday, October 26, when telegrams sent from St. Ambroise, Quebec, reached New York. The balloonists started from St. Louis, with nine other contestants, in the international contest, Monday, October 17th. All the other balloons have been reported. New York's Chinatown is to be cleaned up as it has never been cleaned before. This is the decision of the new police administration. The police have already been instructed to order all white persons from the district. When dusk began to settle on the aviation field at Belmont park, Long Island, Wednesday there were twelve aeroplanes in the air, two after darkness closed down. Lighted by the stars finally the two aviators, Hoxsey and Johnstone, winged their way back to earth safely. A simultaneous crusade against traffickers in women is to be commenced by United States district attorneys throughout the country. Too late for census but earnestly doing her share in Cleveland's remarkable growth, Mrs. William G. Clarke, a Lakeside avenue matron, Friday became the mother of her third set of triplets. Busy at her usual housework, she showed the family Bible, which displayed the fact that she is also the mother of four pairs of twins and that she herself is the only sister of twenty brothers.
