THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Our friend, the Hon. Edmund H. Deas, of South Carolina, will please accept our earnest congratulations on his election to the chairmanship of the state republican committee of South Carolina. He earned and should have received the honor many years ago. A FALLEN CHAMPION. It seems hardly possible to realize that the versatile writer and able champion of the race, R. C. O. Benjamin, esq., editor of the Lexington (Ky.) Standard, has fallen in death at the hand of an assassin. For twenty years or more we have known him as the gallant defender of his people, ready and willing at all times to espouse their cause. A grand man has passed from life and the race has lost one of its most valued advocates at a time when our leaders are most needed. Active, zealous, fearless and unfaltering in his convictions of right, he placed duty before every other consideration and ventured in paths where danger hindered not. He was a man of pure and unsullied worth and nothing daunted, he surrendered no brave principle upon the slightest compromise. He sought not to ascertain the current and drift of public sentiment and accommodate himself to it. But nerved with an innate love of right and justice, he formed his own opinions and acted upon them. Were he of the more favored race, he would be accounted a remarkable man, a national benefactor. Then for his patriotism, his devotion to the principles of liberty and equality, and his unswerving fidelity to trusts which he so faithfully preserved, we accord him the title which he so justly merits, "Well done, tried and trusted leader." Let us long revere the excellencies of his distinguished character, cherish his memory and point with pride to his manly life dedicated as an example for ourselves and our posterity. WM. J. BRYAN AND OUR PEOPLE In one place during the present campaign, Mr. Bryan ignores the wisdom of the Fifteenth amendment to the Federal constitution. But when that committee of colored men in the city of St. Paul presented him with a copy of the life of Abraham Lincoln, the distinguished gentleman grew most felicitous, eulogized the martyred Lincoln, thanked the committee for the compliment done him and pledged himself that in case he is elected president of the United States he will devote his best powers to the protection of the Negro from mob violence. Mr. Bryan never before committed himself so wholly to the cause of the Afro-American as at that time, and it seems one night wonder why this committal in the face of a long stubborn silence. The question is: "Will he and can he carry out this pledge in the face of his ill-favor to the Fifteenth amendment?" This double attitude or "straddling the fence," leaves one to believe that Mr. Bryan has been talking too much, and like the parrot that cried out to the dog: "Sie, sie," and the dog, seeing no one to pursue, turned upon Polly and made the feathers fly. Polly, recovering from her unhappy plight, cried out again. The trouble is, poor "Polly" has been talking too much. So anxious is Mr. Bryan to win in this contest that he even ventures so far as to oppose a second term, thus assuring his countrymen that if they will only come to his rescue now, he will never call on them again. But if Mr. Bryan is elected next November, it remains yet to be seen. DEMAND RESPECT DUE. The Reformer, an ably edited journal published in Richmond, Va., asks editorially, "Why not demand respect?" We heartily sanction the putting of the above question. In the face of every exertion on our part to secure to ourselves that respect which we should rightly claim, yet we are too derelect in respect to that which we would demand and overzealous about that which avails us little. It is the part of every Afro-American citizen to demand those rights and that respect which belong to the family and the home, and, if need be, surrender life in the maintenance of them. But to demand for ourselves the ordinary civilities so commonly denied us does not necessarily endanger life. The denial of that respect justly due men is an encroachment upon human nature, an invasion of man's inalienable rights and an outrage upon common decency. Hence it is not only in keeping with reason that the Afro-American should in prudence and wisdom demand the respect which is due him, but he should scorn and repel insult in a manner that shall teach those whose patrons we are that we are not insensible of any attempt to humiliate and degrade us. The Reformer has well said that in a thousand ways we extend our patronage to those whom we enrich and receive only their contempt and abuse. In many instances the white man receives his largest customers from the colored people. Year in and year out they do their trading with the white man, spend their money and invest all their interest with him, expecting, of course, a reciprocity of feeling and good will. By a common law of nature we are all and everywhere mutually dependent upon each other, and, as such, we should help those who help ourselves, and he who would ignore this principle must seem less than human. There should be a kindred feeling of sympathy and interest with those who share our support. The disposition to encourage and respect our patrons should be a foremost motive in the breast of the merchant dealer, and if he would be wise and foster a proper care for his customer, he would remember to accord to the Afro-American customer the same amenities and courtesies which he pays to his white patron. The colored man has not only a right to demand, but to expect an intelligent respect of the white man to whom he gives patronage and the greater duty devolves upon his dealer to give that respect. Nothing can seem so ridiculous and foolish than that a colored man showing such loyalty must be treated with littleness and meanness, simply because he is black, and nothing betrays a deeper loathsomeness of soul than he who shows himself an ingrate to his benefactor. Now we contend that the merchant dealer who fails to respect his Negro patrons should at once be left to serve those whom he would respect. We have seen and we know it to be a fact that many a poor Negro customer has been abused, kicked about and beaten by dealers who depended solely upon the colored man for his trade. A thousand cities, north and south, bear evidence of this truth, that though the Negro's trade has been the main support to the business, yet Negroes are not appreciated and respected because of their own neglect to stand on their manhood and to demand in a becoming way the respect which they might claim. We ourselves need not be rash nor impolite in rebuking the mean and insulting treatment so often shown us when dealing, but we can show our disapproval of the same by dealing with those who would find pleasure in treating us politely. In many southern cities colored people oftimes invite insult and abuse by making themselves too familiar. They demean themselves in a way as to show themselves undesirous of kind treatment. But this is no excuse for the coarse and ugly treatment shown colored customers. The dealer should demand becoming demeanor and insist upon having it, and depart not from the rule of according full respect to all, and when the merchant fails in this then let us demand it or go where we will be respected. Rev. Joseph Spells. London, O.—Rev, Joseph Spells, formerly pastor of the First Baptist church at Wilmington, N. C., who built one of the finest churches in that state, has been in Ohio nearly three years. He was first called to the Baptist church at Wadsworth, where he served nearly two years, and while there built a parsonage and a hall for entertainments. He served at Wocster once a month and also paid the indebtedness that was on the church there. On July 19 he was called to the pastorate of the First Baptist church of this city, taking charge in August. On Sunday, September 23, he preached the ordination sermon to four deacons, being assisted by Rev. R. A. Jones, of Akron. After prayer meeting Wednesday night a supper was given at the parsonage in his honor by the following: Mr. Samuel Lewis, Mrs. John Cain, Mr. Clarence Wicker, Mrs. Carrie Holloway, Mrs. Lillie Jackson, Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Winslow, Mrs. Rosa Smith, Miss Edith Cain, Mr. Frank Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Wicker, Miss Jessie Manlay, Mr. John Washington, Misses Susan and Linda Goode, Mrs. Porter, Mr. Campbell and Mrs. Nellie Price.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1900. TOIL UNDER GROUND Miserable Lot of Coal Miners in the Anthracite Country. They Have to Work for Little or Nothing and Many Have to Live Like Beasts-The Company Store Evil. [Special Philadelphia Letter.] THEsituation of the miners in the anthracite coal regions is of espe- Anthracite coal regions is of especial interest at this time, for the present strike concerns not only these men and their families, but also users of anthracite coal all over the country. Practically all our coal of this variety comes from 376 miles of wildly mountainous, desolate country in the eastern central portion of Pennsylvania. At the bottom of the narrow valleys are swift streams, black as ink from salts of iron and coal dust, in many instances paralleled by railroads which often have barely room for a coal train. The aspect of the A teacher stands in front of a crib, holding a book and pointing to a child in the crib. Other children sit in chairs, watching the teacher. IN A MINER'S HOME. landscape is depressing in the extreme. All the timber, except laurel, has been cut for mine props. Sulphurous smoke and washings from the culm piles have destroyed vegetation. The dreary fall days settling down over this terrible region, where nature's works have been so distorted as to give an aspect of horror to the land which was once widely beautiful, add to the melancholy of the strikers, who, although winter is rapidly approaching, attempt, by the only means of which they are cognizant, to extort living wages from their employers. The villages all present the same general appearance. A description of one answers for its neighbor. The main distinguishing feature is the width of the valleys in which they are built. Where these are narrow, one long street straggles up the hillside. When there is more room, two or three of these streets often run nearly parallel. Houses seem piled on top of houses, varied by an occasional coal breaker, which rises among them. Frequently, in winter, storms of sleet and snow, bringing the mercury down 30 degrees in an hour, sweep over the poor cabins, the poverty and squalor of which cannot be conceived unless one has witnessed them. But the view of the exterior of the miserable hovels is hardly a preparation for the sight of the unkempt wretchedness of their inhabitants. Dirty, ragged, uncombed men and women throng these villages. The worse the quarter the greater, apparently, the number of children swarming its streets, piled with reeking waste and garbage of every description. Sanitary regulations are unknown. The "patch" is the worst of the two sections into which each of these villages is divided. Its substitutes for houses are said to be unlike almost anything else evolved by man in his desire for a home and a habitation. The occupants usually build these sheds themselves, paying ground rent. This portion of the town lies outside, beyond the breakers, and is the abiding place of Polacks, Italians and Sicilians, representing the lowest of their kind in their own country and brought here to replace a very different class of men who were unable to live upon the wages to which they had been reduced. The aristocratic members of the A man in a suit stands in front of a wooden shed, talking to a woman sitting on the ground. In the background, a man and a woman are standing near the shed. WHERE POOR MINERS LIVE. mine community live "in town." The houses (owned by the company) are all similar and set two and two, each separated from its neighbor by a picket fence. There is no attempt at architectural difference or beauty. Four unpainted walls, a roof slanting at the same angle as all its neighbors, with a sufficient number of ooors and windows for egress and light, and there you are. Chickens in one yard, ducks and geese or goats in the next constitute a slight variation in scene. Here dwells the law-abiding element of the town, the better-paid class, which is composed chiefly of Scotch, English, Irish and Welsh colliers. The lessees of the houses pay $10 or $12 per month rent, and if a bullding is large probably a number of boarders are kept. In the cellar is the coal bin, filled monthly by the company at a fixed rate on their books. The roughest chairs and table and fewest possible number of cooking utensils are found in the kitchen. The sleeping rooms contain the crudest beds and bedding, or, perhaps, a heap of straw on the floor. Sixteen to twenty men often sleep in one room, with a hot fire burning all night. Hundreds of them lie down in their clothing, only removing their boots and coats. Those men who wash and change their clothing on returning home, keeping as clean as they may, meet with but poor success, for as there are no sewers there are no bathrooms, and a degree of cleanliness which might be enjoyed in the worst city districts is unattainable there. In an occasional house sickly plants or vines may be seen at a window. But the better class of the population is being crowded out. A man now considers himself very fortunate if he has steady work at two dollars per day, who formerly earned $100 or $125 per month. The cheap importations from southern Europe have displaced him. August was the rush month of the year and wages were comparatively good, but 180 working days is said to be the yearly average for a man. The laws of Pennsylvania are supposed to make company stores an impossibility, but still they exist and flourish. It is not a matter of surprise that but a small balance is due a man at the month's end, when rents, provisions, tobacco, powder or perhaps medical services have been furnished by the company at high rates. The miner is compelled to purchase his powder for blasting from the company, at a price 100 per cent. higher than that of the open market. His miner's lamp is filled with oil bought from the same source at an exorbitant price. If bits of slate are found in the coal he sends to the surface its value per ton is reduced by the "docker," from whose judgment there is no appeal. The condition of the women in the "patch" is deplorable. They have a dazed, helpless look, and are the burden bearers of the semblance of a home. Many are sold to their husbands, when 12 years old, into a life of hopeless drudgery. The girls work hard at five years old. Murders are frequent and seldom punished, especially if the murderer is a good worker. Court trials are expensive. When the Polack first arrives he purchases a revolver, the Italian a stiletto, or, if very poor, he puts a razor edge on an old file. Working always in the dark blights a man mentally, morally and physically. At the present rate of consumption our supply of anthracite coal is expected to last 200 years longer. Increased care is being taken that the waste in mining shall be as light as possible. It is estimated that in 1898 the value of coal mined in this limited area was $75,000,000, more than half the value of the bituminous coal mined in the whole country. No other anthracite is mined except in Wales, which annually produces one-twenty-fifth as much as we do. Varieties of Scotch, Belgian and Westphalian, sold for anthracite, are of the bituminous class. One reason for anthracite being high in price is that ANTHRACITE COAL SHAFT. it is hard to mine. It lies mainly along three rivers, the Susquehanna, with large centers at Scranton and Wilkesbarre; near the Lehigh, with a prominent field around Mauch Chunk, and along the Schuylkill, with Pottsville as chief shipping point. Iron production would be but little affected by a dearth of anthracite. West-bound freight on the great lakes would be reduced to an important extent. The east would suffer most severely. New York is the largest anthracite coal market in the world and, next to London, the largest coal market of any kind. The railroads are said to charge three times more for hauling anthracite than for carrying bituminous coal. When they convey five dollars' worth of coal 150 miles to tide water they charge two dollars and leave but three to pay the miners and operators. Then they claim that their mines do not pay enough to enable them to raise wages. However, the consumer is always charged full price. It is said that whenever the price of hard coal rises to over seven dollars per ton, the demand for soft coal greatly increases, thus regulating the price of the former. There seems to be an increasing tendency to, as far as possible, have appliances attached to stoves and furnaces whereby bituminous coal can be substituted whenever it may prove desirable.

Not that there are no changes, for there are, but they are comparatively few and unimportant, and even when made they do not replace the fashions that have been in vogue for the last year. There are modifications in sleeves and in skirts, but in both the A A HANDSOME TRAVELING COSTUME. old styles predominate, and so will really be the fashionable ones among the greater portion of womankind. It may be early yet to attempt to judge of what the winter will bring forth, but I base my statement on a view of the earliest Paris importations. We were promised radical changes, but these importations do not carry out the expectations in this line, and while they are disappointing to a certain class of women who desire great and constantly changing variety they are received with favor by those whose purses make economy a necessity. One of the slight enanges that are noticeable is a tendency to go back to the bustle that has, since its banishment, several seasons ago, tried so hard to break into fashion's circle. It comes this year in a decidedly modest form, and is nothing more than a small pad or wire arrangement worn in the skirt a few inches below the waist line. As we have it now it is unobtrusive, and the woman without it is quite as well off as the woman with it. The chief thing that is noticeable is the lack of extravagant elaboration and a tendency towards a growing refinement that cannot help but be pleasing to the cultured woman. What extravagance is seen is along the commendable lines of move beautiful materials and exquisite laces and trimmings, but they cannot be used 10 RECEPTION GOWN IN PEARL GRAY. with good effect where the outlines are not artistic and the colorings and combinations delicate and refined. Pretty gowns for the ALL weddings are a feature of the society functions of the day. and the trousseaus are elaborate affairs. The materials for wedding gowns are white, ivory or cream duchess satin, bengaline poplin silk, mushroom white glace silk, broche l'orient satins, crepe de chine silks, silk cashmere or nun's veiling, and fine French mousselines. The more elaborate of the fall wedding gowns have been made with trains, and with them are wore veils, MAX O'RELL'S MAXIMS [Especially for Married Men.] Mutual confidence and "Liberty Hall" should be the motto of matrimony.

Never interfere with the liberty and independence of your wife, and never allow her to interfere with yours. Let her correspondence be served to you as yours to her. but these are the exceptions rather than the rule, and the majority of the autumn brides have been married in comparatively plain though very tasteful gowns. The trousseau must necessarily include, of course, the traveling dress, reception and at home gowns, tea gowns and all the long list of garments for every special occasion, all of which seem to be more charming this year than ever before, though more simple. One of the pretty tea gowns made for an autumn bride is of pale yellow chiffon draped over a soft flesh pink silk, with silk embroidery of pink around the bottom. The bodice is cut with deep V's in front and back, with eight rows of shirring, and three extra ones extending over the shoulder. The chiffon falls in graceful folds over the arm, and forming a short bodice in front and long in the back. A pretty traveling costume is a coat and skirt made of a covert cloth in a dark gray. The seams have strapped bands that are stitched with white silk. The coat has a turnover collar and pointed revers. A pretty reception gown is a study in pearl gray crepe de chine. The skirt has an elaborate system of tiny tucks around the bottom, with strappings which form encircling bands and most decorative scrolls. The bodice is made with three plaits in clusters, caught with wee buttons covering the front. The yoke and neckband are of white satin, embroidered with gold paillettes, and the collar of string-covered lace threaded through with black velvet.

Now for the coming horse show season a new novelty ribbon is sure to be among the popular accessories of dress. It is of a unique pattern, with horseshoes woven through it, and is proving attractive to every feminine lover of horses. It is also being used for picture frames, handkerchief cases and pin cushions by the equine fanciers. A novelty in the way of hatpins has made its appearance this fall. It is one that will not injure the hat, and to prevent this has little catches sewn to the hat under the rim close to the head on either side. The hatpins themselves are like extra long hairpins, with heads which will not go through the little catches. The pins go through and fasten securely into the hair, holding the hat in place. They are really excellent. There can be elaborate heads to these pins also, but, alas! they hardly show at all. Lace medallions framing a bit of painted or embroidered silk are having considerable vogue and make a lovely trimming to evening capes.

The Candidate Must Resign Himself to the Will of Another for a Week. lege,” says Frederick Gittings, of Phila- delphia, according to the New York Tribune, “a prerequisite to becoming la member of which compels the candi- date to resign himself absolutely to the will of another for a week. During that period of time he may not speak to other people without permission of his guardian, and during his week's probation he must do any and all things that his temporary keeper may order. Amusing ineidents by the score have been the result of this method of pro- cedure. A young chap froma western city landed at the college with a couple lof servants in livery, for he was very rich. His fellow-students regarded him with open suspicion, for they looked upon the presence of those servants as ‘side’ of the worst description. “The westerner, however, in spite of his horses and ‘men,’ was a very good chap, and, this fact being discovered, in due course of time he was elected la member of the club. He knew noth- ing of the election until he received the notice, and upon its heels followed the inevitable week's probation. His sister and a number of her girl friends had arranged to put in a week in the college town, and he had prepared to entertain them lavishly, an elegant lawn party at a wayside inn being among the entertainments laid out. The visit and his period of probation fell at the same time, and as with- out permission he could communicate with no one, he was unable to write and ask his sister to delay her coming, Then his mentor discovered how the jand lay and made his plans according- ly. The visiting party was met at the train and dinners and theater parties, teas at college roome and all that sort of thing followed each other. The miserable probationer was supposed to be away on business—at least the letter he had been forced to write to his sister gave that as an excuse for his absence, and also advised her of the lawn party. “That fete came off in due time, and was a great success. About the middle of the al fresco luncheon, one of the prettiest of the sister's friends sud- denly looked keenly at one of the liv- eried servants. ‘How much that man looks like Jack, doesn’t he?’ she said, turning to Jack's friend and pro tem. master. ‘Yes,’ replied the man ad- dressed, the does rather, except he’s rather better looking, and, by. the way, speaking of Jack,’ and then he launched into a new, fallacious and wholly undig- nified explanation of Jack’s continued absence, the explanation being deliv- ered in an unnecessarily audible voice. The man in the livery grew steadily a deeper purple as the explanation un- rolled itself. Murder looked from, his surcharged eyes. But, to his honor be it said, he controlled himself. Of course, he was ‘Jack,’ and a few days later, his week being up, he was able to give a satisfactory explanation of his absence. “At another time a representative of the most aristocratic family in the col- lege town was forced, clad in overalls, to earry a trunk down the main street just as his friends and retatives were returning from church. Men posted at intervals along the street kindly called their attention to the blushing man with the trunk, explaining his ac- tion to be the result of a wager on a prize fight. The pranks that have Been played by this society have been at times amusing and have seldom been harmful. Of course, now and again a ‘bounder’ will creep in, and when he takes his turn at initiation he is like- ly to make his victim suffer unneces- sarily. There is such a case on record where finally the mentor went too far, and the candidate rebelled, and, care- fully removing his coat, said: ‘Of course, I want to belong, and know what it means if I don’t; but, all the same, I want to keep my self-respect, and to that end I’m going to give you the tallest licking you ever got in your life’ And then he sailed in and did. When, however, the facts were laid be- fore the other members it did not stand in the way of his election.” BUDDHA’S BIRTHDAY. It Is Celebrated ip Singular Fash- jon by Mothers and Children. A correspondent of the Indianapolis Press writes from Yokohama, Japan: “April 8, Buddha's birthday, is cele- brated in all the temples by bringing out the images of the infant Buddha, placing them in a large’ bowl. and pour- ing over them licorice tea with a ladle. On this day, 1900, a great multitude of women and children flocked to what corresponds to the parish house of the Episcopal church, which can be en- tered without removing the shoes. Each child had a bamboo cup, and when this was filled with the precious fluid it walked away sipping it with great satisfaction, for it is believed to be a remedy for worms and other in- ternal disorders. The mothers had bot- tles of the same, which they wrapped up to take home, to place near the pillar of the house to keep away ants and other insect pests. The crowd was most good natured, pushing and jost- ling to get near the boy priests that filled their cups and took their money. The temples, like American churches, are most frequented by women.” aay Mrs. Jobnson—What I said to Mrs. Simpkins was @at I didn’t b’leeb yo’ husband ebbah robbed a henroos’ in his life.

The London Daily News, to illus trate the part played by lucky acei- dent in the discovery of inventions, told the other day a story about khaki, the olive-colored canvas cloth worn by the English and American soldiers in hot countries. This cotton stuff has been worn in India by British troops for many years. Its tint was a greenish brown, but it always faded when it wag washed with soap. A business man from Manchester, while traveling in India, happened to fall into conversation with an Eng- lish officer, who remarked, carelessly, that the first manufacturer who could produce a cotton drill that would not fade would make his fortune. The young Englishman never for- got this hint. He came home, found a skillful dyer, and with him began the search for an olive dye which, when used on cotton cloth, would not yield to soap or soda. ‘They spent years in these experiments, all of which proved fruitless. One day they found among several seraps of dyed cloth one which re- tained its color under the most severe tests. The puzzling fact was that it had been cut from the same piece of cloth, and subjected #0 the same proc- esses as the other scraps, all of which faded. The two experimenters were great- ly puzzled, and for months tried in vain to solve the riddle. The one lit- tle fragment of khaki was the only one which kept its color against all attacks, By chance one day they found that the dye in which this serap had been dipped had remained for a time in a metal dish of a peculiar kind. The secret was found. The metal of the dish, in combination with the chemi- cals of the dye, had furnighed the one thing needful. ‘They tried the expert- ment with other pieces. The dye held, and their fortunes were made, It was not chance which gave them their success, but the indomitable pa- tience and persistence which pursued the chance, and the intelligence which seized it. Woman's Walk on a Wager. Mme. Alma xeldseth, widow of a journalist, has for a wager just trav- eled from Christiania to Paris on foot end started without either food or money. On the way she crossed Swe- den, Denmark, Germany and part of France. She walked 12 hours a day and at night would call at a farm and offer to work for her board and lodg- ing. Directly she had earned a little money she started again, and in turn she mended clothes, did washing and acted as governess. S a week can be made by you at 4 your home.

Saun- ders, a man notorious for taking more work than he could perform, and then getting through with it brilliantly. On going into court one morning he hurriedly besought me to take u ease of his, “a very simple affair,” he said. I yielded, and within two min- utes found myself charged with one of the most difficult defenses that ever harrister attempted: The facts were simple, terribly simple. fy client—awkward, good looking, but not very intelligent- was the son of a farmer. He had left his home, and now stood arraigned for burglariously entering his father’s house, while that father was away in London, and attempting to open an iron safe, which was kept, of all queer places in the world, in the pantry. But the great, the strongest fact against us was that the testimony of my client's own mother was to be given against her son. And, indeed, it was a pathetic sit- uation, To see the little old woman, ashen gray and tottering, not daring to meet the prisoner's mild glance, not daring even to raise her head, it was the eruelest sight I have ever witnessed. She told in her hushed voice and gasping tones how she had been aroused during the night by a serv- ant; how, hearing a noise below, she had gone down along—the girl being too frigntened to accompany her— how she had then seen her boy, the darling of her heart, fumbling at the door of the safe, and how, seeing her, he had turned and fled through the open window. Now it struck me as being curious that a woman who had given evidence with such obvious reluctance against her son should have done so volun- tarily, Something, some fact or some person, it seemed to me, must have compelled her to say it was her son she saw. Aecordingly, though not cross-ex- amining the mother, I requested leave to reserve my right to ask her a few questions later and obtained a re- luctant consent from the judge. This fact, and the contents of the safe being still a mystery, bade me hope; the two first gleams of light in a terribly black case. The next witness was a business- like girl, who gave her evidence with- out the least reluctance. She stated that on hearing a noise she had aroused her mistress and allowed her to descend alone. As her mistress did not return, however, she summoned another servant, and together they went downstairs to find their mistress in a swoon. Then, just as the crown counsel was sitting down, she added, in an unhappy burst of self-import- ance: “And next day I gave information to the police.” “Indeed,” said I, rising quickly, and what did you tell them?” “I told them that missis had gone down during the night and found Master Rupert (the prisoner) trying to open the safe.” Immediately I shot the question at her: “And where did you get your information?” and, at once, her man- ner changed. She hesitated, red- dened, stammered; then, with a sud- den instinct, she pointed to where the prisoner's mother was sitting. “She told me,” said the girl. Then a striking scene followed. The prisoner's mother rose slowly, and said: “I never told her, my lord. What the girl says is not true. I would have told no one unless I had been compelled.” “When do you say your mistress told you this?” I asked. “About 11 o'clock next morning,” the girl answered. “And at what time did you com- municate with the police?” “About two.” “Whom did you tell meanwhile?”, “No one.” “What! You went about knowing the guilty party, and never speaking. At least you told your fellow serv- ants?” “We knew it,” she said. “Knew it,” I shouted, ironically; “knew it was the prisoner who had tried to open the safe. Pray how did you know it if you did not see the act committed?” “I mean we guessed it,” she an- swered. “In fact,” I said, sneering, “you expected it?” “Y—e—s,” said the girl. “Will you kindly tell us why?" I asked. | ‘Then the real character of the girl ‘revealed itself, Easy and confident ‘when first she went into the box, now a difficulty had to be faeed she broke down. She burst into tears, her sobs resounding through the court. When she had regained her composure I repeated my question, and this time got an answer. “I mean that when we heard that there had been a burglary we though? that Master Rupert had done it.” “Why?” I asked. “Because”—she faltered—“Master Rupert had ran away from home and I did not trust him.” “In fact,” I said, “you did not like him?” “No,” said the girl, chen stopped and bit her lip. Again I asked her why. “He came between me and _ his “Which son?" she said. “I have two.” “I mean the prisoner.” “Three days before I saw him at the safe,” she replied. “And the other?” “A month.” “Have you seen him during that time?” aoe “Now as to this safe. What were its contents?” “It had my husband's savings. Four hundred pounds in notes. He would not trust a bank.” “And how much of this was miss- ing?” The crown counsel stopped me. “My lord,” he said, “this is quite im- material, It is not necessary to our case that the prisoner stole anything. What we suggest is that he was about to open the safe when frightened by the appearance of his mother, and he turned and fled.” “But.” 1 objected, “it was his fa- ther’s house, He had only been ab- sent from it two days. Surely he had a right to return, ‘To sustain this charge you must show evil intent.” 1 waited eagerly for the next wit- ness. It was one the prosecution ought never to have called. He was a farm lad, who slept in an outhouse, and had been disturbed by a noise during the night in question. He had seen the retreating figure of a man he took to be the prisoner. In explaining this he made a curious statement. “I tried to sleep lightly because after Master Dick's visit I thought it best to be wakeful with master away.” “Master Dick” was the prisoner's brother. “When did the visit of the prison- er's brother take place?” and noticed, as I did so, the start of surprise with which the prisoner’s mother heard the question. “Two days’ before the burglary,” he said. “And who saw him?” “I saw him, and Margaret spoke to him.” Margaret was the girl who had pre- viously given evidence. “No one else?” “No,” said the boy. “You see it was in the middle of the night.” “Can you tell us anything more about this night visit of the prisoner's brother?” The boy related how he had heard a noise, How he had got up,.dressed and walked toward the farmhouse. How he had waited and watched a thin streak of light move steadily around from room to room till it reached the pantry, where it stayed some time. How he had still waited, and after remaining outside for near- ly half an hour had seen the girl Mar- garet let out Master Dick through the side door. “Did you tell any cne this?” I asked. Yes, he had told the prisoner, but ha not told his mistress for fear of alarming her. I could see daylight now. But I still anticipated a tough fight. I did not realize what a valuable ally a little truth may be. The next witness, the other maid servant at the farmhouse, entered the box. No sooner had she taken the oath than she electrified the court by saying: “Please, I want to speak the truth.” My learned friend could not dis- guise the astonishment with which he heard this strange desire. But the judge encouraged her kindly. | She had, sie said, known all about ‘it from the first, and had promised /Margaret not to tell, but when she had seen Mr. Rupert in the dock and [had noticed how near we got to the truth she felt compelled to speak. The prisoner's brother had been turned out by his father a month ago, but had remained hiding in the neigh- borhood. He had arranged, she said, to run away with Margaret. The diffi- culty of money had presented itself. Apparently this charming pair had determined to get over this in an easy if not original manner. When the father had been summoned to town on law business they planned and car- ried out the real burglary at the farmhouse, ‘The prisoner's brother had a key of his father’s safe, and according to his version was morally entitled to some of the money—he said £100, His father, displeased at his conduct, refused to give it him. Accordingly he had entered the farmhouse late at night, and with ‘the assistance of Margaret removed ‘his share, or what he claimed was his ‘share, of the family savings. He and Margaret were to be married within two days, but something happened to prevent it. Mr. Rupert disappeared, and later Margaret made a startling discovery about him. He had gone to his brother first, remonstrated with him, and then find- ing this useless, had uséd force. ‘There had been a struggle, Dick had been left senseless on. the ground, and Rupert had taken from him the key of the safe and ‘the £100 note. ‘This Margaret learned late at night, and her mother-wit enabled her to deduce the fact that Rupert would place back the note before his father returned on the morrow. To accomplish this she knew that he would probably imitate his guilty brother, and break in, and she con- | Mike Found It Dad Walking. | In the course of the terrible march of the ‘Irish fusileers from Dundee to Ladysmith the men were much fatigued owing to the ‘Fough journey.
