Jordan ft Ca Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 18.—Accord- ing to advices received today, seven- teen negro prisoners, three of whom were serving life seritencs for mur- der, escaped from the Duval county jail just before midnight last night. One returned and informed the jailors. One was captured today by a posse. The Steel ceiling in the jail was cut and the men climbed down a blanket to the ground. The bewitching theatre cap has proved one of the most artistic and really practical novelties of the winter season, writes “Marjorie.” The fortunate woman who whirls to her evening gayeties in her motor need not cover her coiffure unless she desires, but as the vast kind of woman- kind go ifoot when the distance is short, or use trolley cars in going to dinners, dances and the play, the adoption of a becoming and practical head covering has remained a moot- ed question until the present time. So exquisitely fanciful has the thea- tre cap become that Parisiennes have cleverly nicknamed it the “Bon Bonn” cap. A little collection hailing from a famous designer in Paris is fashioned of diamond-shaped medal - lions of tarnished silver lace joined to- gether, one pattern in quite fine, the other heavier. At the sides in the characteristic Dutch styles are placed two silver poinsettas with centres of jet rimmed in brilliants. At a fashionable dance a charming debutante wore a graceful little Char- lotte Corday bonnet of antique colored lace, the graduated frill being quite short in front. A ban dof brown fur swung around the cap and at the side a cluster of gold and silver cherries with pendant ends, dangled coquettish- l y . ______________________ ASpedkei From Cortland, New York “Busy Men vs. Business Men,” is the subject of an address to be deliv the subject of an address to be deliver- ed this afternoon at 5 o’clock at the by the Rev.

Gastonia, Feb. 18.—The fifth annual reception pf the Gastonia Commercial club, given in the club rooms Tuesday night from 8; ?.0 to 11:30, was as usual a social event of large interest.. Dili- gent preparations had been made for the event by Secretary and Treasurer J. K. Dixon, Jr., and the entertain- ment committees of the club, and their elTorts were marked by a complete success. As the guests entered the reception room they w’ere presented to the re- ceiving line, which was constitutd as follow'S: Mr. and Mrs S. A. Robinson, Hon. and Mrs. Clyde R. Hoey. of Shelby; Mr. J. K.

Lee Rob- inson, while Ruth Boyce and Marie Hardin, assisted by Misses Lavinia Hunter and Nellie Rose Slosn, dis- l-ensed coffee. In decorating the club rooms the Valentine idea prevailed in almost ev- ery detail, hearts being used in pro iusion everywhere. Palms, ferns and other potted plants lent beauty and attractiveness to the decorative scheme. There were present a large number of Gastonians and quite a .good many out-of-town guests. The event was a most delightful -one in every respect and all who were priv- ileged to (>e preserxt are indebted to the club for an evening of great pleas ure. I The Study club met Tuesday after- noon at the home of Mrs. D. A. Gar- rison.

Miss Marie Hardin ushered the guests into the punch room w'as served by Misses Banks and Hampton.

Delicious refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cake and heart-shaped mints, w'ere served by Mesdames Stovall and Marion Hampton. A daintily decorated table holding the silver offering was in charge, of little Miss Elizabeth Love, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Love. Special to The Sunday News. i Rutherfordton, Feb. 18.—The social event of the season was the informal Valentine dance given by Dr. and Mrs. Henry Norris complimentary' to the young people of Rutherfordton in the handsome new Rutherford hospi- tal Tuesday night.

C., was recently arrested < on a warrant sworn out by W. L. Conner, of South Carolina, charging Falkner with bigamy. It is alleged that Falkner married a wc/Hian in Greenville. S. C.. in 1900, and that several children were born to them | and it is further alleged that the latter part of 1009 Falkner married wife No. 2, a Miss Conner, sister of W. L. Conner, who had Falkner ar- rested. In the preliminary held here Falkner was remanded to jail pending : further Investigation. It developed that Falkner refused to return to South Carolina to answer to the charge without requisition papers. To this end W. J. White, sheriff of Spartanburg county, has made appli- cation to the governor of South Car- olina through Hon. J. C. Ems, solic- itor, of Columbia, for the proper credentials.’ In the meantime Gov. W. W. Kitchin, having been apprised of the facts, wired Justice of the Peace W. N. Clark to hold the pris- oner pending the arrival of the re- quisition. E. N.

Statesville, Feb. 18.—That Mr. George H. Boyd. of States- ville, will continue as internal revenue collector for this district is an assured fact and the Wasbin.gton 'press reporters may as well quit writing about the status of the col- lectorship and referring to charges against Mr. Brown and the batter’s ansvi'ers. Deputy Collector J. M. Davis who was in Alexander county this week looking after the moonshiners of the Littlo Brushy Mountains, brought home with him one of the most unique brandy distillery ever seen by him, and he has seen them in all shapes and forms.

Mr. Holler was 88 years old and has an interesting record as a minister. OFF TO SCHOOL. They go off to school with laughter. And it rings through the house all day, The echo they left in the morning When they trippingly went their way. They come with the same sweet laugh- ter When the boks have been put aside, And We wait for them at the portal With the doors of our hearts thrown wide. They go off to school full of dream- ing. And We join in -the hopes that they feel: They are climbing the far-flung 'ad - der, And the fight that they fight is real. They come after while from the bat- tle, Vv’hen the trumpets have sounded good-night, And we wait for them there in the shadows, And w'e welcome them unto the light. ♦ ♦ ♦ BERNHARDT. ^ ♦ ♦ i The one question which seems to be of moment'to most women is not the genius of Sarah Bernhardt so much as her power of keeping Time at arm's length, says the Baltimore Sun. On all sides one hears “How does she look?” “Has she grown old. " “Xo, the same Divine Sarah.” is the ans- wer. Then the i nevitable (luestion, “How does she do it? It’s extraor- dinary.” Madame Bernhardt has the most interesting counteuance ever studied. Every fleeting action is depicted with marvelous fidelity. She has very un- j upsual eyes for a Parisienne. They i are of the almond-shaped, Oriental ! type. Her brow is low and broad and the auburn hair comes lawlessly to- ward her eyes. Her mouth is young, . sensitive and breaks delightfully ! over her even, white teeth when she smiles her delightful Bernhardt smile. I Her memory never fails. Years may go by and yet some trivial encounter ■ will recall an incident and she will be able to refer to the exact conversa- tion, time, place and everything—tlia wonder of this woman, indefatiguable, ; ever working, ever cteating, moving on and on, defyiti.g all, eveu Father Time, v.’ho, seemingly, cannot leave his mark upon her. And what is the secret of her youth Avhich she guard.s so sedulously? Enthusiasm, love of life, love of v.-ork, and, to use her own words, “Only to those who are en- thusiastic can come ecstacy of living. Only to the enthusiastic does the hori- zon of the future show always red and gold, always the future. Keei> *yoar eyes turned that way. Live every mo- ment to the fullest, but do not forget that the next one will bring you red- der, richer wine. Work—there is nothing in the world so delighiful as w'ork.'’ We are living our own lives over In the laughter they take to school; In the study, the hope and the dream- ing. In the lesson of book and nile. We are fighting our own old battles When they go to the warfare there. And we go through it over and over, The toiling and trouble and care. They go off to school with singing. And they leave us with silence around Except that the echoes are ringing Deep down in our hearts and pro- found. They come home from study with trusting. Their little lives full of it all. Its lure and its light and its leading. Its joy and its triumph and call. T/ie Washington Reception Tuesday Tnnity College Campus Notes Special to The News. Trinity College, Durham, N. C., Feb. 18.—Dr. W. T, Laprade, of the depart- ment of history of Trinity College, has about completed the manuscript for a new book which he will soon publish. It deals with the negro prob- lem in the district of Columbia, and is entitled, “Status of the Hopkins University Press. Dr. Laprade also published last year a book on the French Revolu- tionary period of the eighteen century. The faculty publication committee has been at work for some time on the new catalogue for the coming year. All copies of the catalogue that were on hand were destroyed in the fire of the old Duke building. The old corner stone of the Duke building has been taken from the fall- en walls of the burne.d structure, and placed in the museum at the library, where It will be in safe keeping. 1 ------------------------ 1 —Yesterday was a record Saturday in the mercantile world of thic city. All merchants reported big sales. They go off to life’s school, they leave us, And the day wears away to the dusk, And only wee shadows trooping Through the mist, as a rose through the musk. But, with only their shadows to wel- come. And with only an echo to ring. Of their golden and beautiful laugh- ter, Wide open the portals we fling. Yea, open, wide open to welcome The dream and the joy and the song Of the little lives out in the struggle Where the throng treads the heart of the throng. Till the studies are over forever, Till the last school is out for all time, Oh, swing off and swing home little children. While our hearts beat in tune to your chime! Arrangements are nearing comple- ' tion for the big Washintgon reception at the Young'Men’s Christian Asso- I elation Tuesday night. All committees I are reporting that their assignments I are well in hand. \ The program promises to be one 'of the best that has ever been put I on at the Young Men’s Christian As- ' soclation. j Invitations will not be issued as the public is invited. Those remem- ! bering the successful Founders' Day reception will not fail to attend this function at the Y. M. C. A., as the same committee has all arrangements in charge . The I.adies’ Auxiliary to the Young Men’s Christian Association met yes- I terdav afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. j building and perfected plans for their I part in the celebration. My Aeroplarr . (Continuet^. From Eleven.) Real Estate Deals Mr. Frank F. Jones yesterday pur- chased from- the Mutual Trust Com - pany a handsome lot on Park drive, Elizabeth section, the consideration being $1,500. The property is the most desirable suburban residential real estate con- tiguous to the Queen City and the price paid is considered small * * * Messrs. 0. J. Thies and Frank F. Jones yesterday purchased of Mr. John M. Harry his very valuable lot on Elizabeth avenue opposite Mr. Will W e a r n ’s property. The lot is 66 feet front by 193 feet deep, and is considered one of the most valu- able lots entire Elizabeth avenue. came the dismaying announcement that a test of my barograph 'a rougii reading of which had showed ajiproxi- mately 9.970 feet) gave me only a little more than 9,400 feet. But tlui officials of the Aero Club of Pennsylva- nia, under whose auspices the flight had been made, were sure that a mis- take had been made somewhere and so turned the instrument over to George S. Bliss, head of the United States Weather Bureau in Philadel- phia. To the indefatigable and gen- erous efforts of this official we owe the fact that the final official reading of 9,897 feet was given after tests to which no barograph had ever been sub- jected before. That was the world’s record for only a short time, for a day or two later came Legagneaux’s wonderful feat when he ascended 10,- J 499 feet a.id made it impossible for ; me to realize my fond hope, of being ! the first man to pass the 10,000 mark, i But the fascination of altitude work I is stronger with me than ever in spite of its awful strain and constantly in- creasing danger, and next spring I I hope to return to Philadelphia and beat any record that may then be in existence. ^ Title of next Sunday’s article: "My Most Thrilling Adventure in the Air.” j ________ ^ (Copyright, 1911, by Henry M.
