JOHNSON ASKED TO RESIGN. t Succeeds in Effort to Get Rid of Ne gro Office Holders. Washington, June 19.?Presidc-n Wilson to-day requested the immedi ate resignation of Henry Lincoli Johnson, the Atlanta negro who ha been recorder of deeds of the Dis trict of Columbia for the past tour o or five years. The action of the presi dent in calling for the immediat< resignation of the Johnson negro i; the result of the efforts of Senato: Hoke Smith and other southerner: to rid the government of service o negro office holders, who came in un der Republican rule. The Georgi; senator has had several interview: with the president about the remov al of Johnson. The president's request for his im mediate resignation came as a com plete surprise to Johnson, who ha: rested contentedly in the belief tha he would hold the office indefinitely owing to the fact that northern Demo crats were insisting that he shoul( not be removed unless another negr< was appointed to succeed to the va CcUlC.v. Johnson was at the capitol thi: morning, following the receipt of th< president's request, and expresse< a desire to hold the office for a fev days longer that he might gather u] the "loose ends" of his personal af fairs. He received no encouragemen at the capitol, however, and unles: * he tenders his resignation immedi ately it is expected that the presi dent will remove him. * Johnson was appointed by Presi A dent Taft, on the recommendation o Y Frank H. Hitchcock, the Republicai I headsman in the last administration ^ as reward for services rendered t< Taft in Georgia. Universe of Energy. Throughout the universe, energy We do not know what matter is, bu the physicists suspect it is energy Wherever we turn our gaze, to th< world within or the world without ? through the microscope to the mi nutest forms of organic matter, o: through the telescope to the enor mous masses of the stars, to the plan that turns toward the sun, or to th< lover who turns toward the adorec one?everywhere is energy. What does it mean, this energ] which Bergson has dramatized in in* picturesque phrase, "elan vital,' "vital impulse?" It often has beer discussed, but there is a particular^ fresh and interesting popular interpretation in the current issue of tht Atlantic by Henry Dwight Sedgwick the essayist. "What can we infer," he inquires "of this energy which drives th< stars headlong, which heaves the ocean, which pushes the sap from the branch to twig, and determines the subtle movements in the cortex oi the cerebrum, but that it is working to change what is something higher' All this turmoil, this commotion o1 earth and heavens, is a disconteni and a struggle. May we not see ir this endeavor to supplant the lowei by the higher, a Holy Spirit at work?' Then he goes on in words that re ? call "Creative Evolution," to suggesl an imprisoned power "struggling tc ^ detach itself from base ingredients striving to dominate some hindering medium, aspiring to make the uni verse new." This energy, at its besi and noblest expression, seems to b found in the unselfish lives of fine men and women. It may seem presumptious to use this human yardstick, but there is no other withir our grasp. Is it not, Mr. Sedgwick asks, wher * mystics have suddenly become sensitive'to the meaning of cosmic processes that their souls have'cried out Lo, God is here. "Is not that which we call prayer," he inquires. "th? unconscious bending of ourselves t< act in concord with this universal energy, as heliotropic plants turn t( the light?" Prof. W. H. Carruth, long of th( University of Kansas, put the sann ideas in poetic language years age when he wrote: A fire mist and a planet, j - * a crystal ana a cen, A jellyfish and a saurian, And a cave where the cave mer dwell; Then a sense of law and beauty, A face turned from the clod? Some call it evolution, And others call it God. ? ?Kansas Citv Star. ? NOTHING TO BE DONE. Moore Finds All His Efforts to be Un successful. Washington, June 22.?A confer ence today between Adjt. Gen.

C. >- Garrison Withdraws Invitation to Pi Join in Encampment, t Washington, June 20.?The invi tation extended by the war depart- ^ 1 ment to the Governor of South Caro- ni( s lina, to have the organized militia ^ - of that State to participate in the ae r manoeuvre camp to be held in Au- Se - gusta, Ga., next month has been with- >'e 2 drawn because of the failure of the in s South Carolina militia to meet the r requirements of the Dick militia law s as construed by the law officers of f the department. The attention of the Governor &a 1 some months ago was called by the mi 5 war department to the shortcomings of the South Carolina militia in the matter of missing equipment and 110 - shortage of men in the various ?r - grades. The result was some spirited s correspondence between the Gover- m' t nor and the Secretary of War. Fin- Tt ? ally the Governor undertook to meet - the requirements of the department. 1 Trouble later arose between the 3 Governor and the Secretary of War go - over the location of the proposed W? joint encampment on the Isle of Mj s Palms, S. C. Secretary Garrison fin- rj 2 ally peremptorily transferred this pr 1 camp to Augysta, Ga. Since then re- a j 1 nnrto frnm t>lP nfflCPS Of the War de~ nr ) partment have disclosed the fact that Ce: - the South Carolina militia still is t deficient in the various matters com- an 5 planed of originally, and Secretary sn - Garrison therefore has felt obliged to - to withdraw the department's invi- f0 tation to participate in the manoeuvre - camp to be held in Augusta. 6h f So far South Carolina is the only an 1 Southern State which will be ex- pr > eluded from the manoeuvres on this > occasion. CiA MYSTERY IX SOCKS. ^ he Uptown Hotel Management Baffled " by British Guest's Loss. qU The whole laundry force of a fash- I* ionable uptown hotel, assisted by the 1 management, is working hard upon a mystery that was hurled at it by an r English visitor, says the New York Times. The question he propounded with some degree of heat, concerned j the capabilities of a stocking for lec changing color and losing two inches sei un ^ in length when with its mate it is subjected to an ordinary cleansing rel ^ process. Sw CO] When the Englishman appeared in ^ the lobby yesterday morning with a an) sock dangling from each hand, a shiv- ye< . er ran through the place at the im- ^a; * of propriety. The handsome clerks ' blushed, and the well-groomed mana- Ki ger turned pale. It's bad enough to ' mention socks in the lobby of that rhi i St, CO] hotel, but the idea of exhibiting them an, ' and worn socks, at that, made even W the dignified bellboys quiver with an Sw J anxiety as to what was coming next. One report was that a hury call was sent out for restoratives. Anyhow, i ; before they could possibly have had * J AD ^ time to arrive, the bearer of the socks spoke, and as he did so, one p [ noted that the socks were of different ( , colors. One of them was blue and J the other was gray. [_ "Look here!" declaimed the irate Pr< Briton, for irate he was, "this is what your laundry does." ' In amazement those who heard gaz' ed first at one sock and then at the wii other. ki c "How in the world is it that a blue be sock lias turned gray ana snrunK iwo w< ' inches?" went on the Englishman. a^c He paused for a reply, but none ^ came, and he repeated the question. \( 1 The manager of the laundry was called up and questioned, but he could 1 not satisfactorily answer the question. qu After considering the socks from all pej sides, he suggested: loi "Perhaps there was a mistake. Per- ^t? t , . . , of haps it is not your sock. ga "Not my sock?" repeated the oth- Li( * er. "But see, there's my name in- lot . f3ci side it as in the other." "Perhaps you put in a gray sock ail( by mistake? ' tie "I do not wear grav hose." answer- ^ > J ed the Englishman, with considerable j:V( emphasis. "1 only wear blue-ribbed ha: hose." To conciliate him, the laundryman took possession of the un- 1)11 cas matched pair, and agreed to make an investigation. coi ? ter i Enough Left Over. sai olj!

Vat- on ional Monthly. She made out her list of guests and sent her little daughter, Eleanor, an to deliver the invitations. Eleanor - first stopped at Mrs. Jordan's. She ^ b gave the invitation and as she was about to depart, Mrs. Jordan said: pii 2 "Why, Eleanor. I'm afraid your 2 mother is undertaking too much, af- ^ 2 ter having had the bridge club last 2 evening." "Oh. I guess not," replied the child, e "I heard her tell father this morning gc e there was stuff enough left for three parties." PATRICK H. NELSON DEAD. ominent Lawyer of Columbia Passes Away Suddenly.
