A young woman who has been to Russia has introduced on her tea table a little cake that is popular among her friends. A rich puff paste is divided into four parts, each rolled as thin as possible. On one sheet is put an almond paste, on another pounded peanuts or pistache nuts, on a third currant jelly or orange marmalade. The layers are placed on each other, honey or maple syrup is poured over, and the whole baked in a moderate oven until a delicate brown. When cold the crust is cut in squares or diamonds and passed on a plate covered with a lace dolly. Another delicacy for afternoon tea is the crisp cassava wafer used so much in West Indian households. This is served cold, but is better if buttered and made very hot in the oven. Rich little crullers or doughnuts, made not more than two inches long and dusted thickly with powdered sugar, are a pleasant change from the usual small cake passed with afternoon tea. A nice and inexpensive sandwich filling is cold chicken or lamb put through a chopper, highly seasoned with salt and pepper and mixed to a smooth paste with rich cream. This is not so rich as mayonnaise, which is usually employed in sandwiches. Bars of brown bread slightly toasted, buttered and covered with sardine paste made by shredding sardines and mixing with lemon juice are a nice change from sandwiches. How to Care for Gold Fish HOW TO CARE FOR GOLD Fish A writer in the Housekeeper gives her experience in caring for gold fish successfully. I keep three fish in a six-quart globe. I use well water; pure spring water or river water can be used, but not clistern water, and I nearly always have the water fresh out of the well, she says. I change the water in the globe once a week. I always have a large bunch of moss in the globe, as it keeps the water sweet longer and the fish like to nibble at it. I get long strands of floating moss out of a millpond, and get an extra supply in the fall, as one bunch does not last all winter. I give the fish a salt bath once a week, which keeps them in good health. I use one teaspoonful of table salt and one quart of water, and keep the fish in the water 15 minutes. Once a day I feed the fish a piece of prepared fish food one-half inch square. On One Waistband. While making my two little girls' best dresses and petticoats last summer, I decided to gather the dress skirt and petticoat together and sew to the waist of the dress. Then the little petticoats were always "there" and only a few minutes longer were used in ironing the dress. The dress and petticoat were always ready to wear at the same time. This summer I am going to have colored petticoats sewed to the waistbands of the play dresses. There is a great saving, too, in the making of buttonholes.—Good Housekeeping. THE GAZETTE SHORT COAT BOUND TO COME Dainty Article of Apparel! That Will Be a Necessary Part of the Wardrobe. Undeniably the day of the short fancy coat, which appears to be a part of the lingerie gown over which it is worn, is coming, for summer dresses show them and many women are ordering separate ones to combine with any of their sheer linen and muslin frocks. They are quite the daintest bit of apparel that has been seen in a long time. Some of those fashioned of all embroidery are made with elbow length sleeves finished with a frill of lace or embroidery. Such a lingerie jacket will make the simplest dress look handsome enough for semi-formal occasions, while those of real lace might properly be worn over silk and crepe dresses. Their lines conform to the short waisted ones which continue to characterize the latest models. A fringed sash frequently finishes the front and provides a substantial look which should be expressed by the wrap. Embroidered silk in all over patterns forms the waist part of gowns, which have a simulated jacket, and one wonders if this new fashion is the forerunner of a revived bolero effect. FOR THE TINY MAID. A dainty little frock of pink cashmere with the fashionable panel front and pointed inset chemisette of tucked white mull. Wide bands of self-tone silk soutache braid trim each side of front and border bottom of skirt just above hem. A girdle of coral velvet ribbon joins bodice and skirt, and velvet-covered buttons in same shade accentuate the waist line in panel. Rosettes of Silk. Large flower-like rosettes of soft silk sometimes cover the entire side of a hat and are relieved with sprays of leaves and flowers. The New Guimnes. Paris says that gulmpes and sleeves for spring will be made of embroidered chantilly. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. THIS IS RICH! HOW SARCASTIC! THIS IS RICH! HOW SARCASTIC! THERE IS CONSIDERABLE MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY IN IT, TOO! THE FEAR OF COLORED RACES The Editor of The New York Independent Hands Out a Fine Line of Sarcasm and Very Much Unpleasant Truth. The inferiority of the Caucasian race is recognized and accepted by many of that race in this and other lands. This explains, as nothing else can explain, their fear that they will be overrun and beaten by superior races. They know they have the present advantage in numbers and in government of war, and their government is in their hands, but they see the danger if they allow those of superior races equal opportunities. We can hardly blame them for their fear and their insisting on excluding or suppressing those whom they dread. This explains the California and the New proposals to forbid aliens to buy and hold land in fee simple. They mean the Chinese and Japanese. They look up to these Mongolians as Tom Thumb, Barnum's white dwarf, looked up to the Chinese giant Chang. The Mongolians are their superiors, they know, in thrift, in diligence in money making, in all sorts of acquisition, and they treasure at a rival's with them. If allowed they would own the whole western coast, San Francisco would be theirs. Hence these fears. Hence Mr. Drew's bill; he does not believe he could hold his own modest estate if a Japanese were allowed to ask for it. It is, it can be, nothing else than a sense of their own inferiority which explains the unwillingness of Chinese and Japanese to meet them on even terms and let the best win. To be sure, the president (Roosevelt) has no fear that these Mongolians will get the better of us Caucasians, but he is a headstrong man, full of conceit, hasty in conclusions, and he does not know much of Japan. Because he can shoot a bear he thinks he can beat any alien. But the Japanese are another sort of beast, like the Martians we have heard of, all science, all heartless and all huge. We poor Caucasians, we puny Anglo-Saxons and Celts, would stand no chance with 'hen; we would have no chance with 'hen; we the forests as the pigmies have been driven back by the superior Senegalese and Mandingoes. In the long run the superior wins—it always does—and the Caucasians are doomed. Somehow, by wilt or war, the superior race will win over the inferior race. It will be hard to win, but who lack in courage and virility should be replaced by a better stock. And there are terror stricken herds of cotton tails that are trying to hide behind high fences against the advance of the black southern wolves. They talk a very different dialect from what they did a half century ago. Here is a picture of a man in a sealed letter before he fired the shot in the Washington theater: "The country was formed for the white, not for the black man, and looking upon African slavery from the same standpoint held by the noble framers of our constitution, I, for one, have always considered it one of the greatest blessings, both for themselves and for others, ever bestowed upon a favored nation." He thought the black race so inferior that it was only fit for slavery. He did not fear them any more than did Abraham Lincoln when he liberated them; for he thought they were only a bit more than a nule. But Senator Tillman has seen the mule beaten by Hoke Smith, and so have the testifiers of a dozen states. They are afraid of being beaten. They see how an eight of Negro blood will dominate seven-eighths of Caucasian. They shiver at the thought of probable Negro supremacy if they do not, while they can and while the school has not grown. They work excessively from the protection of the ballot box. No other plausible explanation that can be given of their terror except that they feel that they and their children will be beaten in a fair fight. It is natural for a weak race thus to defend itself, by all walls of stratagem and defence against the time when she will be beaten. Thus they can save themselves. Thus Ulysses put out the eyes of Polyhemus and escaped the glut's clutch. Forgive us if we sometimes think this is cowardice, that they ought to be willing to try the arbitrament of the struggle for existence and abide its result. But that implies some hope that we can endure the suffering for the benumbing, the paralyzing effect of conscious inescapable racial inferiority—New York Independent. THE PAST UNVEILED The Egyptians Were Black - Other Historical Facts of Special Interest. Hon. Alex. H. Everett, a Bostonian (white), in 1833, said to the Colonization society: "Go back to the earlier period in the history of the human race. See what happened in the past. Did 3,000 years ago in the period of their greatness and glory when they occupied the forefront in the march of civilization, when they constituted in fact the whole civilized world of their time. Trace this very civilization from the earliest land on the origin and see where you will find it. We received it from European ancestors; they had it from the Greeks and Romans and the Jews. They derived it from Ethiopia and Egypt; in one word from Africa. Moses, we are told, was born in Ethiopia and the Egyptians. The founders of the principal Grecian cities, such as Athens, Thebes and Delphi, came from Egypt and for centuries afterward their descendants returned, to that country as the source and center of civilization. There it was that the generous and stirring spirits of that time—Herodotus, Homer, Plato, Pythonas and the rest made their noble voyages of intellectual and moral disdain, and the scorn of all land, France and Italy. Sir the Egyptians were the masters of the Greeks, the Jews, and consequently of the modern nations in civilization, and they had carried it very nearly as far—in some respects a good deal farther—than any subsequent people. The ruins of the Egyptian temples lapse in scorn the ancient ruins of any part of the world. They will be what they are now, the delight and admiration of travelers from all quarters, when the grass is growing on the sites of St. Peters and St. Paul's, the present pride of Rome and London. Well, sir, who were the Egyptians? They were Afrikaners and Egyptians? They were Africanists and Ethiopian extraction they were not black. But what says the father of history who traveled among them and knew their appearance as well as we know that of our neighbors in Canada. Herodotus tells you that the Egyptian Egyptians had hair. Some writers have undertaken to dispute his authority, but I can not bring myself to believe that the father of history did not know black from white. It seems, therefore, that for this very civilization of which we are so proud, and which is the only civilization of which we are indebted to the ancestors of these very blacks whom we are pleased to consider as naturally incapable of civilization." IN THE LIMELIGHT AGAIN. Eaker Street Church's Troubles—Wednesday Evening's Trial—"Gem City" Social, Personal and Other News. Dayton, O. —Eaker Street church is passing through some more serious conflicts. T. W. Wheeler, a deputy clerk in the county clerk's office and president of its trustees' board, some time ago brought charges against several other trustees for violation of the church laws and rattle, than be tried by the court. He then attempted to fill the board without consulting the church. He and others who took part in this last proceeding are to be tried Before Dr. Rev. Butler of Columbus Wednesday night. Indications are that they will be expelled from the church. This will be by far the largest and one of the most important institutions in the history of Eaker Street church. Sunday morning the pastor, Rev. James G. Robinson, was handed a paper in the pulpit by Mr. Wheeler, in which the latter charges the pastor with dealing in liquor, drinking liquor, mal-administration and conduct subheading to a minister. Another letter addressed to the pastor, Rev. James G. Robinson with being guilty of borrowing money from trustees of the church and not repaying the same.

Lynched an Innocent Man. Tyler Tex.—The action of the mob in lynching Jim Hodges has been the main topic of discussion on the street. The young woman's statement when the Afro-American was brought before her to be identified, that "I can't tell; I can't say he is the Negro," has been gone over, many believing the wrong man was hung. Hodges was taken from jail here just before noon May 1 and strung up in a rafter in the courthouse. The judge ordered the struction. Probably a couple of thousand persons assisted in the hanging. The governor had ordered a company of militia here. News of the troops coming only hastened the lynching. Joe Walcott Defeated Columbus, O.-The great Joe Walcott, the ex-champion, was defeated here Monday night in six rounds by "Thunderbolt Ed" Smith, a local Afro-American welterweight. Walcott was hanging on at the end of the match, much punishment in that round of a fight which was even up to that time. Walcott immediately challenged the winner for a return match. Joe must have been "playing 'possum' to make some money in another contest. Another Prize-Winner. Providence, R. I.-Gough McDaniels of Baltimore, an Afro-American, won the third prize in the annual declamation contest, and the Carpenter prize in elocation May 4. The Carpenter prizes are awarded annually to the three best declamators of senior high school after preliminary contest in which 30 or more students generally enter. No "Jim Crow" Auto Cars New York City.—The supreme court here on May 11 decided that the proprietors of sight-seeing automobiles in this state must not draw the color line among their passengers. The court granted damages of $100 to Miss Estelle Green, who was refused a seat. The Malby civil rights law of this state, under which the decision of the supreme court was made, is a copy of Hon.

AS TO OUR WEALTH. Progress on Economic Lines—Homes Valued at Nearly a Billion Dollars. The latest compiled report of the census bureau shows that the wealth of Afro-Americans, in homes, amounts to the enormous sum of $337,830,000, or nearly a billion dollars. It is divided as follows: Georgia $80,590,600 Mississippi 71,122,000 Alabama 71,346,000 Louisiana 56,105,600 Virginia 51,412,000 North Carolina 48,883,200 New York 48,392,800 Maryland 48,124,000 Texas 47,767,200 South Carolina 44,208,400 Pennsylvania 42,419,000 Tennessee 38,570,000 District of Columbia 35,507,600 Kentucky 34,124,000 Arkansas 30,721,200 Florida 30,286,000 Missouri 23,911,600 California 21,064,400 Illinois 17,696,000 New Jersey 15,573,600 Indiana 15,102,400 Kansas 14,791,600 Indian Territory 12,942,000 Oklahoma 10,606,800 There are quite a number of states not quoted above, as the amount per state is less than $10,000,000; but the comparative average as given speaks well for our people. --- 2 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. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to speak at the Wagoner county (Okla.) normal, for our teachers, to be held from May 31 to June 25, sent to him by Professor Allen S. Peal, a former resident of Cleveland, and later of Columbus, O. We wish it were possible to accept the same. The first number of The Young Alenite, a paper for Allen's young people, edited and published by Ira T. Bryant, secretary and treasurer of the A. M. E.

Success to it. [Rev. Andrew J. DeHart, for several years pastor of Mt. Zion church this city many years ago, died April 29 in Cincinnati, where he had lived and taught school practically since returning there from Cleveland. He was principal of Douglass school at the time of his death. Prof. DeHart was born in Woodville, Miss., Dec. 25, 1857, and was married to Miss Jennie Jackson, one of the original members of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, in 1885. A strong man gone. Mrs. DeHart has our earnest sympathy. George W. Johnson brought suit, last week Wednesday, against Wong Kee, "king" of the local Chinese. Johnson says that waiters in one of the latters' restaurants (in the Bank Cafe, Public Square) would not serve him recently. He asks for $500 damages under our Ohio civil rights law. It was under this same law that Mr. Johnson, last week Tuesday in the police court, secured the conviction of a waiter (white) in the same cafe and restaurant for refusing to serve him. The fellow was fined $50 and costs by Judge McGannon. Now he is "after" the Chinman who is alleged to be the proprietor of the restaurant, in the cafe operated by a man named Sanders (white). That is the kind of "striking back" that will surely put a stop to the drawing of color lines in public places in this city and state, and soon to. So keep it up! DIRTY WHITE COWARDS. Congressman David A. Hollings worth of Cadiz, this state, who is serving his first term, and who is opposed to people of Mississippi presenting a service of silver plate to the warship "Mississippi" upon which is engraved a picture of the rebel leader, Jeff Davis, and who introduced a resolution in congress calling upon the secretary of the navy for information with regard to it, is receiving threatening letters from Mississippi and other places in the south. One of them enclosed a newspaper picture of Gen. Hollings worth, who is a veteran of the late war, with a spot marked over the heart and the comment: "This is where we would put a ball through you if you come down here." Gen. Hollingsworth has turned the letters over to the postoffice department with a request that investigation be made and the writers punished, according to law, if found. Such contemptible acts have always characterized the low prejudiced cowards of the south. When Senator Foraker was fighting our "Brownville" battle, he received more than a "bushel basket ful" of such dirty, cowardly, anonymous communications, and all from the south. The thing of all things that makes Democracy a stench in the nostrils of nearly every member of our race, is the treatment of our people in the south by the leaders particularly, and the rank and file, of the Democratic party in that section of the country. They are directly responsible for disfranchisement, "Jim Crow" cars and about all other color-lines in public places, mob violence which includes lynching of course, and discrimination along educational and other lines. The very latest is the contemptible effort of Maryland and Florida Democrats, egged on by Senator Money of Mississippi, to secure disfranchisement legislation in the Assemblies of these two states. Is it any wonder in the face of all this, and all of a like nature that has gone on before it, that it is simply impossible for any intelligent and loyal member of the race to espouse the cause of Democracy? Then too, the southern portion of the Democratic party is the head and body of the Democratic dog, while the northern portion, is but the tail. Matters not how good this latter may be, the former wags it. WHITE BRUTES BLACKED UP. The fact is being forced home more J. ROBERT E. McKISSON BAEHR OR McKISSON, WHICH?

This was a modest request considering the fact that the Afro-American voters of this county constitute practically one-fourth of its total Republican vote. This entitles us to four positions in the recorder's office instead of two. For seven long years, in spite of the fact that he has a representative of nearly every other class or race of people in the community, in his office as clerks and copyists, Recorder Baehr has steadfastly refused to appoint any member of our race to any position within his gift, and now comes forward as a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, begging us for votes. The duty of every self and race-respecting Afro-American in this community is perfectly clear as far as Mr. Baehr's latest candidacy is concerned. NO NEGRO NEED APPLY! For seven long years Recorder Baehr has refused to appoint any Afro-American to any position in his office, 'though asked to do so. Now he is begging us for votes again—for the fourth time. Wonder "what he takes us for"? Hon. Robert E. McKisson, when and more every day that many of the crimes charged to Afro-Americans are committed by white men and women who have blacked their faces, necks and hands. This has recently been made very clear in the case of a white brute arrested and charged with the murder of several girls in Dayton, O. A woman of that race swore that it was his common practice to black up almost every night, and thus go out to commit some crime, returning with purses and other valuables. He would wear curdurot trousers and workmen's heavy shoes, carrying an ordinary pair of the latter in his coat pocket. After committing a crime he would wash himself, take off the heavy shoes, put on the others, and return to his home, often with his clothes covered with mud. These latter he would saturate with kerosene and burn before the woman's eyes and those of her daughter, after threatening them with death if they dared to tell what they had seen. He even went so far as to tell with brutal details, of how he killed the little 15-year-old Dayton white girl, Mary Forney, some time ago. It will be remembered that the body was found not many months ago, at midnight in a stable, horribly mutilated. It was not long ago that a young white woman in Georgia was assaulted and the scoundrel caught on the spot, was a white man blacked up and dressed as a woman of our race in that vicinity would dress. There is no doubt of it, hundreds of innocent Afro-Americans, both men and women, have been lynched, sent to convict leave camps and to prison, in the south as well as the north, in the last 25 or 30 years, who were entirely innocent of any wrong doing whatever. Thus is presented another difficult phase of the many-sided, so-called race problem. (Continued from First Page.) ter, Mrs. W. Sims—Champion "Jack" Johnson is billed here for May 18.— S. F.

This is a well-known and generally recognized FACT. Then too, he is the only member of the party who, as mayor, has had any opportunity to make a record on the street car question (the burning issue of the campaign) which commends him to the masses of the people of this city. In point of ability and as a campaigner, he is recognized by all men, well acquainted with him and Mr. Baeh, as being greatly the latter's superior. His platform, which he announced recently, is one of the very best things that any candidate for office in the city of Cleveland has ever issued, and has commended his candidacy, for the Republican nomination for mayor this fall, to the great masses of Republicans and intelligent people generally, in the strongest possible manner. It is certainly an exceptionally strong and concise statement of the position of municipal affairs, and a most commendable determination to do those things most needed by Greater Cleveland and in the shortest possible time, if nominated and re-elected to the position of mayor this fall. And, that is exactly what we expect to see done because of the phenomenal growth in popularity of his candidacy within the week. If Mayor Tom Johnson is to be defeated in November, the Republicans of this community must be led by a fearless and sterling campaigner, a man whose exceptional knowledge of municipal affairs, and whose record on the burning issue of the campaign, are such as to commend him to the masses of the people of this city.

In the war amendments to the constitution the Republican party set forth the reasons for its continued existence after Appomattox. These articles gave the Negro freedom and citizenship, and they specifically safeguarded him against discrimination. Political pains and penalties were devised in the cases of states which disregarded these principles. Several Republican presidential campaigns were fought on this issue and some of the most conspicuous of Republican chieftains made no stronger claim to popular fayer. This traditional policy has found expression with much regularity in the party platforms. In Ohio, Mr. Taft's own state, the Republicans have repeatedly demanded the enforcement of a federal law for a reduction of representatives in congress and in the electoral college for all states which had disfranchised the Negro. The national Republican platform of last year, on January 1, 2015, declared once more without reservation for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments," and condemned "all devices that have for their real aim disfranchisement for the poor, to be unfair, American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." In furtherance of a southern policy of his own, which is in conflict with that of his party, Mr. Taft now openly accepts the southern disfranchisement laws and announces that he will appoint no Negroes to office against the wishes of the whites. No Democrat will accept the disfranchisement more radically take issue with the orthodox Republicanism of the past. Unless we are to believe that machine Republicanism, wholly abandoning principles and ethics, has devoted itself to the spoils of office, how are we to explain the fact that no protest has yet been made to this course by any notable Republican leader or candidate? Are Republican news paper? The power of the President is great in any case, but when politicians and newspapers are servile it is magnified many times. Revolutionizing party policy, his back upon the most vital party traditions and practically justifying the nullification of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments with no protest from any Republican, he is not independent and independence on his own part and submissiveness on the part of his political associates. Admitting the President's spirit, the world Democratically disagrees with the establishment of the new color palette and even the direction of example, and even the direction persuade to approve of the virtual nullification of the fifteenth amendment. Good as the President's intentions no doubt are, it is hardly possible that the president himself is to be a finality in America can politics.—N. Y. Daily World. THE SOUTHERN OLIGARCHY. How about the oligarchy that was really formed in the Southern states, that was feared by as pure a patriot, as noble a man, as wise a statesman, and as learned a person as Senator Charles Summer, the oligarchy of nominated politicians, upheld by an ignorant and bigoted electorate, a minority, as brutal and stupid as it is ignorant of the first principles of a republican form of state? For information let our blind leaders of the blind consult the "Southern American" for dates and addresses that appear in a later edition. In its issue of the 23th ult. the Inter Ocean, the "only Republican newspaper of Chicago" (as Republican newspapers go in that city), remarks in a little editorial note that is precious: "President Taft, in an address before a New York audience, said: 'It is breaking. It must break or be broken!' Just so, Mr. Republican Editor & Co.! Just so. It will be, 'must be broken.' How? But by what means? By all means, even dishonorable ones, or by consistency and persistence of right against might, 'must be justice.' Which means, shall it be? Only by adopting this right policy will the victory be assured to humanity and will justice prevail. Then, and then only, will come the end of the unsatisfactory conditions in which millions of American citizens, blacks and whites, are doomed to live by an unjust system of oppression of stupidity and cowardice of the "masses" (not only Southerners!)! In the military part of our history this is stated by General Sherman tersely in a letter from Savannah, December 25 (Christmas day!) 1864. Here are the words, "that had a meaning" then and have one now—in the social sense of our day. "They no longer call my army, 'Cowardly Yankas'" * * The next step in the progress will be: "For God's sake spare us; we must surrender!" When that end is reached we begin to see daylight!" The Republican party is respectfully invited to ponder over this view of settling vexations questions by perseverance along the right path which will lead us to victory, who fear "that some one may be hurt," does not imply cruelty, oligarchy or injustice of any kind.

HOUSE WINDOWS SHATTERED One Thousand Pounds of Dynamite Explode when A Percussion Caps Up Prematurely Discharged—Bodies Mutilated. Albany, N. Y.-At least 20 men were killed by a premature blast of dynamite in a stone quarry operated by the Callanan Road Improvement Co., near South Bethlehem, 11 miles southwest of Albany. The dead: John Hoyt Callanan, vice president and general manager of the company; Charles D. Callanan, a brother of the manager; Leroy McMillan, assistant superintendent; John Hendriek, steam diver; John Snyder, master mechanic; James Maloney, blacksmith; William Baumes, fireman; Fred Zappert, agent of the National Power Co., New York; 12 Italian workmen. Bodies Badly Mutilated. One thousand pounds of dynamite exploded, and the bodies of the victims were hurled hundreds of feet by the concussion and so badly mutilated as to be almost beyond recognition. As darkness was falling a wagon drew up to the engine house loaded with bodies that had been picked up on the quarry hill. A crowd of grief-striken relatives gathered around eager to identify the dead, only to turn away at the slickening sight. Italians with shovels found here and there portions of bodies and brought their gruesome loads in boxes to the engine house. Premature Discharge of Cap. Premature Discharge or Cap. The Cullanan Road Improvement Co. furnishes crushed stone for road building. The preparations for a day's blast had been going on for six weeks. The holes, 75 feet deep, had been drilled at joints about 20 feet back of the face of the big quarry, and the explosion of the dynamite with which they were to be loaded was expected to displace 40,000 tons of rock. Over 8,000 pounds of dynamite were to have been used. The workmen had placed 500-pound charges in six of the holes and were working on the seventh hole when a percussion cap was prematurely discharged. A terrific explosion followed which hurled many tons of rock into the air and scattered the bodies of the victims in all directions. The officers were standing near by at the time directing the work. Houses in the vicinity were shaken and windows shattered by the concussion. MANY EXECUTIONS IN TURKEY Twenty-four Mutineers of the Army and Navy Publicly Hung at Constantinople. Constantinople, Turkey.—Constantinople witnessed another batch of executions when 24 mutineers of the army and navy were hanged in public within the city limits. This makes a total of 38 executions within the capital since the revolution of April 13. Four of the men were hanged near the sultan's palace, eight at the marine barracks, eight in the Djinzi Meidan quarter of Stamboul and four at the war office. London, Eng.—A special dispatch from Saloniki says that Talaat Bey, vice president of the chamber of deputies, who was sent there to arrange with Abdul Hamid for the transference of his fortunes to the government, succeeded in obtaining the signature of the former sultan for the withdrawal of funds from foreign banks, but that Abdul Hamid resolutely refused to deliver up the keys to two iron rooms in the Yildiz Kiosk, which had resisted all efforts at forcible entry. After Talaat Bey's departure, the dispatch says, officers of the guard, furious at the ex-sultan's refusal to comply with the demand, rushed into the room and forced him to surrender the keys without further parley. FAMOUS HOSTELRY IS BURNED Also Railroad Station, Express Office, Two Farm Houses and Timberland in White Mountains. Plymouth, H. H.—After having destroyed the Pemigewassett House one of the most famous hostelries in the White Mountains, the railroad station and the express office, fire jumped into the pine forest, licked up two farm houses and some timberland. The loss on the hotel is estimated at $100,000, while the destruction of the other property will bring the loss up to $150,000. The Pemigewassett House was owned by the Boston & Maine railroad.

A WEALTHY MINE OWNER. Rebel Chief "Jeff" Davis Gave Hin $500 in Gold in Cold War and World War II. Shoshoni, Wyo. — Samuel Jefferson Davis, mine owner, of Warm Springs creek and the Wind River mountains, has been in Shoshoni ordering machinery for his mine, the order including a ten-horse power gasoline engine shaft hoist and a compressed air drill plant, the machinery ordered aggregating $10,000. He was born in Wyoming and gave Jefferson Davis. When the latter was elected president of the southern confederacy Samuel accompanied him to Millidgeville, the first capital. Upon the confederacy's final collapse, Davis gave Sam $500 in gold and told him to go north and enter upon new life as a free man. The latter migrated to and tarried away in Cheyenne and thence to Montana, where he mother from his wages as a camp cook he saved money enough to buy a few head of cattle. These cattle grew into a herd and several years afterwards Sam sold out for a handsome sum. In the interval he had married a daughter of Edmond Le Claire, a noted French Canadian hunter and trapper living with the Whispering Wind, whose father was one of the most celebrated Arapahoe chieftains. Sam rested for several years, living in rude luxury on the Arapahoe Indian reservation. Four years ago he bought from a prospector his present mine on Warm Springs creek, an effluent of the Wind river, which was one of Wyoming's assured mining wealthy men. He christened his mine "The Miss Winnie Davis," in honor of Jeff's daughter. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.
