Spoke To Colored Men. Gurley Brewer of Indianapolis at a Great Brazil Rally. Brazil Ind, Special—Monday one of the largest gatherings of Republicans during the campaign assembled to hear Gurley Brewer, of Indianapolis, tsk on the cardinal issues of the campaign. The opera house was crowded to overflowing. Hundreds of colored voters were in the crowd. The speech was a fine piece of oratory as well as a logical discussion of facts. He held the audience from beginning to end, creating great enthusiasm. He ridiculed the Democratic cry of imperialism and pointed out the business calamity which would be brought about by Bryan's election. He declared that after the votes are counted on the 6th of next month it will be found that the colored people are still with the party of Lincoln and Grant. Negroes Not Helped. It is rumored that in the distributoin of the supplies to the Galveston sufferers that very little is given to the colored people and that which they do get is the refuse after all others are helped In view of the fact that a large number of colored people has helped to swell the public collection lists and in many instances their collections have gone into the general fund, it is a shame if the rumor is true. This only emphasizes what has already been charged against the South, that the white man is so prejudiced against the colored man that he cannot even do him good in a charitable cause- It is to be hoped that the rumor is not true—Afro-Au erican, Balt., Md.

Free speech was denied to every man and woman of that period who dared to attempt to register a protest against the infamy of human slavery. The intolerance and cowardice of the defenders of slavery and all its concomitant evils and iniquities were no wiser in their day and generation than the bullets in broadcloth and the bullets in rags of this generation who have adopted the same method to stifle the voice of the people's representatives in a campaign having for one of its objects the conservation of the rights and liberties of all the people. The mob spirit which has manifested itself in the present campaign and the mob spirit of the antebellum period differ in no material feature. The same vindictive and mendacious impulse that moved the antislavery mobs to intimidate, harass and grossly insult public speakers who declaimed against the evils of human slavery is the same spirit which has manifested itself in the present campaign against those who are known to be against the methods and policies of the Democratic party. The mob spirit of the antebellum period was born of Democratic arrogance; the mob spirit of 1000 proceeds from the same source. It is the Democratic policy to meet argument with the bludgeon, the bowie knife and the shotgun. Its history is a history of bloodshed, murder and lawlessness. It struck Charles Sunner; it dragged William Lloyd Garrison through the streets of Boston with a balter around his neck; it destroyed the printing office of Lovejoy at Alton, and it assassinated Abraham Lincoln at Washington. But the principles for which these men stood and fought triumphed as gloriously as those for which their exemplars now stand and are fighting with a courage born of faith in the righteousness of their cause. The insults to Governor Roosevelt, Chairman Hanna and others will redouble the efforts of Republicans everywhere to defeat and humiliate the arrogant policy of the intolerant Democracy to crush out free speech. The persistence with which Governor Roosevelt has been pursued and insulted during his tour through the west is proof "strong as holy writ" that these attacks upon him are the result of premeditation. Whether the plot originated with the Democratic national committee or with the state committees of the states in which he has spoken is immaterial. It is a Democratic plot, and the people will hold the Democratic thugs who are responsible for it to a strict accountability at the polls. The barefaced philosophy of Ananlas is breaking out in spots on the Democratic side of this campaign, and it is pursuing Governor Roosevelt with a malignity and devilishness as venomous as it is cowardly and disgraceful. The Democratic press and individuals in the Democratic party profess great interest in the negro troops who fought with Colonel Roosevelt at Santiago de Cuba, and they affect to be considerably horrified because of a certain statement alleged to have been made by Colonel Roosevelt touching the valor of the men of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry, a statement which, if he did make it, he afterward retracted in a manly way and in these words: "I have seen my mistake. I find these men to be far different from what I supposed them to be." John E. Bruce. Speaks On The Issues. H, V. Eagleson. of Bloomington, in This City. VINCENNE$^{3}$, Ind., Special—Mr. H. V. Eagleson, of Bloomington, one of the most prominent colored men of Southern Indiana, spoke to the colored republicans of this city Thursday night of last week. A big crowd greeted him, and his clear and forcible presentation of the issues was listened to with interest, Mr. Eagleson is a fine orator. In closing Mr. Eagleson said: "The Republican party gave 'a new birth to freedom' to this country, gave fuller expression to the constitution, presented to the world, the character of Lincoln. It is worthy of the trust of the American people in this great crisis. In the words of the great Frederick Douglass, 'The Republic party is the ship. All else is the sea.

Ladies and gentlemen call for she has done thousands good and what she has done for others she will do for you. A call will convince you that she possesses unspeakable power. Recorder. THE NECRO DISFRANCHISED THE FIRST STEP INTO A NEW SLAVERY CAROLINA KLU KLUY VOTE BALLOT BOX SENATOR TILLMAN IN CONGRESS—"We do our best to keep every negro in our State from voting BISHOP HOOD ON ISSUES. How a Self-Respecting Afro-American Can Be an Honest Democrat Is Beyond My Comprehension. DEMOCRATIC PARTY STILL OPPOSES RACE The Democratic Party Is Responsible for Every Enactment for the Oppression of Afro-American Race from Fugitive Slave Law to North Carolina Disfranchisement. When I was set apart to the office of bishop, the then Senior Bishop J. J. Clinton took me aside and told me that it would not be well for me to continue to take an active part in politics. I have tried to follow his advice, but have had sometimes the experience of which Bishop Moore once complained. Some one said that he as a bishop ought not to meddle with politics. SENATOR TILLMAN IN CONC The bishop said the trouble was that politics would not let him alone. When politics quit bothering him he would quit bothering with politics. In this year of grace politics seems to have much to do with the bishops. Several have found it necessary to deny the statement that they have become democrats. So far as I know, no public statement to that effect has been made respecting myself. But as I have traveled attending to my Episcopal duties I have learned that a report has been circulated that Bishop Hood has turned democrat. And I have found my people much excited over it. And I do not blame them for the feeling manifested. For the Afro-American who forsakes the interest of his people at this time deserves their contempt. They are not ignorant respecting political conditions, as some profess to think. They understand the situation and know how to vote. Neither are they indifferent, as some would make believe. It is true that large numbers in some sections failed to vote, but it was not the result of indifference, but because they were not permitted to register. There never has been a time in which they were more anxious to vote, and if they had been permitted to do so ninety-nine out of every hundred would have voted against the amendment. The multitudes which are now leaving North Carolina, many of them at a great sacrifice of property, is an indisputable evidence of the widespread discontent. The democratic party is responsible for every enactment for the oppression of the Afro-American, from the passage of the fugitive slave law, the sum of all villainies enacted about 50 years ago, down to the latest act of disfranchisement in North Carolina. It has also opposed in the national congress every measure, proposed in the interest of the Afro-American race. With this record in view, how any self-respecting Afro-American can be an honest democrat is a mystery beyond comprehension. No democrat in North Carolina who knows me would believe me sincere if I pretended it. I should lose their respect as well as my own. Besides this, I do my own thinking, and there is not an important plank in the democratic platform to which I could honestly subscribe. I believe in protec- --- tion to American industry. The tenency of the democratic doctrine is toward free trade, to which I am unalterably opposed. I believe in a dollar worth 100 cents. The tendency of the democratic policy is toward a dollar worth only about 47 cents. I know they claim that by legislation they can make 47 cents' worth of silver equal to 100 cents; but I do not care for a metal dollar which needs that kind of help to make it go. I want the standard of value to rest upon a dollar which stands upon its own merit. The gold dollar is such, and therefore is the universal standard of values. I believe in expansion, which was once a democratic doctrine when an outlet for the extension of slavery was desired; but even in that a falling from grace is now witnessed. I might mention other points of difference, but think this sufficient to show that I could not be an honest democrat, even if I had a grievance against the opposite party—which I have not. I do not care to deal in personalities, hence I need not to say much about candidates. But I may remark that I have seen nothing to change my very high opinion of President McKinley. THE NEGRO DISFRanchise THE FIRST STEP INTO A NEW SLAVE KLU KLU BALLOT BOX PRESS—"We do our best to keep every He has certainly done as well by my people as any president we have ever had. Much better than some who have been held in higher esteem by leaders of the Afro-American race. In my opinion, he has done more for the material development of the nation than any president we have had since the foundation of the government. Perhaps it may be said that he has had a better opportunity than any. Admitting that, it still remains that he has been fully equal to his great opportunity. Even his opponents praise his Chinese policy. But how could he have had a hand in that important matter if he had scuttled out of the Philippine islands, as some claim he should have done? I think it must be admitted that the delegations of the powers of the world at Peking owe their salvation to the wisdom of McKinley. And without the base of operations he had in the east he would have been powerless, and could only have viewed with horror a fearful tragedy at a great distance. This nation enjoys a respect among the nations it had never enjoyed before. If a great international war is averted at this time the credit will be due to McKinley more than any other man on earth. And it seems to me that all who have any interest in the nation's credit, welfare or destiny must support him now. The great battle between Christianity and heathenism seems to be approaching, and the Christian powers will do well to be careful in the selection of their standard bearers. The race question will dwindle into insignificance inside of a hundred years. The Afro-American will be called for by and by to stand with his white brother in the contest which is to open the way for Christian civilization in all lands.

Democratic Scheme to Co'rce The Colored Vote in the Coming Election-Penalty for Selling or Offering to Sell Votes. Reward for Conviction Within the past two weeks it has come to light that the Democratic managers of Bryan are making strenuous efforts to buy colored voters, or for a consideration to induce the colored voters to remain away from the voting place on election day. Chairman Herny of the State committee, also Secretary Elliott of the Republican County committee have positive evidence that this attempt to debauch the colored vote is being made. The bring- BED RY INA negro in our State from voting ing of Pitchfork Tillman into this State in behalf of Bryanism, is a direct insult to the intellectual voter, but the open attempt to traffic in votes is indeed a shame upon our civilization and should meet with a prompt rebuke from all citizens, regardless of color. A still hunt made by a Recorder representative developed the startling information that behind the schemes to buy votes, as infamous as it is, there lies another plot more diabolical than the first. That plan is to keep an accurate record of the names of the persons bartering their votes and after the election, the same persons will be presented under the provisions of a law enacted by the last legislature which will cause each person proven guilty to be disfranchised for a period not less than ten years nor more than twenty years. The magnitude of the scheme can be seen at once and the colored man who falls into the trap, will be at the mercy of the Democratic politicians for years, to come For the benefit of our reapers we publish the act in full: Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That whosoever sells, barters or offers to sell or barter his vote, or offers to refrain from voting for any candidate or candidates for any office at any general, special or primary elections, or convention either for money or property, or thing of value, or any promise or favor or hope of reward, who shall accept any money, property or thing of value, the promise or pretense of voting for any candidate or candidates, shall upon conviction therefor be disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of profit or trust, for a period not less than ten years nor more than twenty years. Sec. 2. Any person or persons having knowledge or information of the violation of the provisions of this act, who shall procure or furnish the testimony necessary to secure a conviction of the person or persons violating the same shall be entitled to a reward of $100 payable out of the treasury of the county in which such conviction shall be had and the right to such reward shall be a valid claim against such county. Sec. 3. Sections three and four of the act, entitled "An act concerning --- Price 3 Cents elections and nominating conventions to maintain political purity; and prescribing the punishment for any violation thereof, approved March 9, 1889' and an act entitled "An act to secure the purity and freedom of the ballot and to repeal sections one, two, three ann five of an act entitled 'an act to protect the ballot box, to procure fair elections, to prevent the purchase or sale of votes, to provide means of proving such offenses prescribing the penalty therefor and repealing sections 268 and 269 of an act concerning public offenses, and their punishment," approved April 14, 1881, being sections 2184 and 2185 of the Revised Statutes of 1881, and repealing all laws and part of laws in conflict with the provision of this act," approved March 9, 1889, an 'act concerning public offenses and their punishment," approved March 8, 1897, and all laws and parts of laws in conflict with the provision of this act and hereby repealed. Sec. 4. Prosecutions may be brought under this act, any time within six years after the commission of the offense. An Enthusiastic Meeting. Republican Doctrines Preached by Judson W. Lyons ANDERSON, IND., Special.—The largest political meeting of colored citizens ever held in Madison county was the gathering at the opera house in this city. to hear Hon. Judson Lyons, registrar of the United States treasury. Preceeding the speaking the "White, Wings Colored Republican Club," a 150 voters strong, paraded the streets. The meeting was under the auspices of the "Rescue Riders Club" and was presided over by Dr C. R. Atkins. The latter in introducing the speaker said the colored man of the North had more at stake in this campaign than at any time since the civil war. His remarks were heartily applauded and he wittily introduced Mr. Lyons as the "man who signed all of Uncle Sam's money, and although he may not bring you a paper dollar, a silver dollar or a gold dollar, yet his gospel will be worth a hundred cents every time." Mr. Lyons was given a hearty reception, and spoke for more than an hour with eloquence and feeling. Indemnity to be Paid. The President has recommended to Congress the payment of an indemnity to the families of the four Italians who were victims of a mob at Tallulah, La., about two years ago. A report from a special agent of the Department of Justice clearly established the fact that the men were killed by the mob and that none of the perpetrators of the crime was punished by the State authorities, notwithstanding the representations of the national government. The Governor of Louisiana caused an investigation to be made and there were some proceedings before a grand jury, but the result was that the national government found itself bound to make some sort of reparation in answer to the Italian government's representations, and this will take the form of an indemnity for each of the persons killed who were Italian citizens at the time of their death Colored Mass Meeting. It Will Be Held at Tomlinson Hall Friday Night. Nov. 2. The Republican county committee is arranging for a big mass meeting of colored voters for the evening of Nov. 2. It was decided to hold this meeting, at a conference of colored men held at the county committee rooms on Tuesday night. The meeting will be held in Tomlinson Hall and an effort is being made to get Bishop Derrick as one of the principal speakers. At the meeting held Tuesday night, Dr. S. A. Furniss was elected chairman, with power to appoint the necessary committees. A large number of vice-presidents will be appointed, and it is believed that this will witness a grand turnout of colored citizens. A monster parade will be given before the meeting, which will be participated in by the colored clubs and organizations of the city. Mr. Charles Brown will have charge of the parade arrangements.

Washington special: Hon. John Sherman. ex-Secretary of State, died at his home in this city at 6:04 Monday morning. The President, Monday afternoon, issued the following proclamation: "DEATH OF THE HONORABLE JOHN SHERMAN." "By the President of the United States of America." "In the fullness of years and honors, John Sherman lately has passed away. Few of our citizens have risen to greater or more deserved honors in the Nation's councils than he. The story of his public life, as it were, the history of the country for half a century. In the Congress of the United States he ranked among the foremost in the House, and later in the Senate. He was twice a member of the executive Cabinet, first as Secretary of the Treasury, and afterwards as Secretary of State. Whether in debate during the dark hours of our civil war, or as the director of the country's finances during the period of rehabilitation, as a trusted councilor in framing the Nation's laws for over forty years, or as the exponent of its foreign policy, his course was ever marked by devotion to the best interests of his beloved land, and by able and conscientious effort to uphold its dignity and honor. His countrymen will long revere his memory and see in his type of patriotism the uprightness and the zeal that go to molding and strengthening a nation. "In fitting expression of the sense of the bereavement that afflicts the Republic I direct that on the day of the funeral the executive offices of the United States display the flag at half-mast, and that the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall pay, in like manner, a public tribute to the illustrious dead for a period of ten days. "Done at the city of Washington this 22d of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred, and of the independence of the United States of America, the one hundred and twenty-fifth. WILLIAM McKINLEY. "By the President: "JOHN HAY, Secretary of State." Mr. Sherman's death had been expected for some days. The immediate cause of death was described as brain exhaustion incident to extreme weakness, due to old age and to several attacks of sickness, from which he had suffered for the past year and a half. Since Saturday afternoon Mr. Sherman had been most of the time unconscious, rallying partially at intervals, when slight nourishment was given him. Sunday afternoon evidences of the approaching end were manifest, and he failed to regain consciousness after 3 o'clock, passing away peacefully just after dawn broke. John Sherman was born in Lancaster, O., May 10, 1832. He came of sturdy ancestors, tracing his lineage back to Roger Sherman, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and to the Shermans who came over shortly after the landing of the Pilgrims. The father was a lawyer of prominence in Ohio, who rose in later life to be judge of the Supreme Court. When he died in 1829 the large family of boys were left with scant support, and were adopted by friends and relatives. William went with Thomas Ewing, who shaped his career as a soldier, white John went with an older brother, Charles, at Mansfield, and took up the study of law, which, in turn took him into the field of politics and public life. John's first public service was in 1838 when he was a delegate to the Whig convention at Philadelphia, which nominated Zachary Taylor for the presidency. Again in 1838 he was a delegate to Baltimore, when Winfield Scott was nominated for the presidency. He was elected to the Thirty-fourth Congress, taking his seat December 3, 1855. At the end of his second term he was recognized as the foremost man in the House. Mr. Sherman was elected to succeed Salmon P. Chase in the Senate, entering that body March 4, 1861, and on the inauguration of Hayes as President became Secretary of the Treasury. In 1880 he became a candidate for the presidency, and his name was presented to the national convention by James A. Garfield. In the contest between the friends of Grant and Blaine, Garfield was nominated. Again in the national convention of 1884 he was placed in nomination by Joseph B. Foraker, but the Ohio delegation divided and Sherman secured only a few votes. In 1888 he was a candidate for the third time, leading throughout with 219 votes on the second ballot and continuing thereafter until Benjamin Harrison was nominated by the withdrawal of other candidates. Mr. Sherman had returned to the Senate in 1881, serving continuously until 1887, when he resigned to enter the Cabinet of President McKinley as Secretary of State. His resignation from the Cabinet occurred soon after the declaration of war with Spain, and he returned to private life after forty-five years of almost continuous public service.

GERMANY AND ENGLAND HAVE AN AGREEMENT. They Have Decided to Maintain Territorial Integrity of China and to Keep All Ports Open. London cable: Germany and England have formed an alliance to maintain the territorial integrity of China and to keep ports open. The terms of this agreement, which was arrived at on October 16 between Lord Salisbury and Count Von Hatzfeld, German ambassador to England, are officially given out as follows: "The German government and her Majesty's government being desirous to maintain their interests in China and their rights under existing treaties, have agreed to observe the following principles regarding a mutual policy in China: "Firstly—It is a matter of joint international interest that the points on rivers and littoral should remain open to trade and to every other legitimate form of economic activity for the peoples of all countries without distinction; and the two governments agree on their part to uphold the same for all Chinese territory as far as they can exercise influence. "Secondly—Both governments agree that they will not, on their part, make use of the present complication to obtain for themselves any territorial advantage in the Chinese dominion, and will direct their policy towards maintaining undiminished the territorial condition of the Chinese empire. "Thirdly—In case of another power making use of the complications in China in order to obtain under any form whatever, such territorial advantages, the two contracting powers reserve to themselves the right to come to a preliminary understanding regarding the eventual step to be taken for the protection of their own interests in China. "Fourthly—The two governments will communicate this agreement to the other powers interested, especially Austria-Hungary, France, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States, and invite them to accept the principles recorded in it." The agreement, while it savors of independent action and would doubtless be adhered to, despite the protest of any other power, is not looked on here as forming an obstacle to the progress of negotiations upon the basis laid down in the last French note, or, indeed, upon any propositions which will not infringe upon the essential principles of the Anglo-German compact. The Associated Press is informed that Lord Salisbury's reservations, or recommendations, as he prefers to have them called, when answering the recent notes, especially that of France, all bid fair either to be accepted in toto or to result in such modifications that Great Britain will be assured that territorial integrity will be conserved and will be able to join whole heartedly in the negotiations which already are said to have started in Pekin.

The plan is said to have originated with several of the ex-banker's friends to show their belief in his innocence. He was convicted for failing to turn over to his successor as treasurer of the park board about $300,000 of the county's funds. A CAGED CRIMINAL An Iron Cage to be Built in Court Room For Trial of a Negro Desperado. Cleveland special: An iron cage will be built in the criminal court room for Edward Ruthen, the negro who will be placed on trial Monday for the murder of Patrolman Shipp. Ruthen is a desperate man. At the time Shipp was killed he escaped from a score of policeman who were pursuing him in a long, running pistol-fight. If he had not been overcome by strategy he would doubtless have killed some of the men who later captured him in Indianapolis. The cage will be provided to prevent a tigerish outbreak on his part in the court room. THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE VITALITY OF YOUTH. Senator Beveridge Speaks in a Characteristic Way to Young Men—Talk of a Menacing Army a Delusion—Isues Reviewed. Senator Beveridge was given a reception and ovation at Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis. Thursday night, that was considered a great success by Republicans of the capital city. It was the occasion of Mr. Beveridge's first speech in Indianapolis since the present campaign opened. It was a reply to Mr. Bryan's assertion that there is no chance in the Republican party for young men. He said in part: "America is the young man of the nations. The American people have the vitality, the hope, the energy of youth. As the new century dawns this vital young nation is going forth in the world's great field to do a vital people's work. In this campaign one party champions that advance and the other party resists that advance. To one of these parties in this campaign more than one million young men will begin their political allegiance. In this campaign more than one million young men will enlist under the political banner under which the initial force of their first vote and all the influences that bind men to party will cause them to march for the remainder of their lives. It is to these young men that I speak to it. It is to their future that I appeal. The re-election of President McKinley now an absolute certainty, and no appeal is now necessary to insure the re-election of a man who has been great enough to understand the ocean currents of human affairs in which fortune has directed this Republican since he has been President. But I am concerned for the future as well as for the present. I am concerned for the future of the Republic, and therefore concerned for the political future of every young man in the Republic in whose heart and mind the future of the Republic abides. And so I speak to these young men who will bear the banner of the American people into the coming century, because the allegiance to the party which they make in this campaign will with a great majority determine their political allegiance far into the coming years. --- In speaking of trusts the Senator said: "What now is the attitude of the two great parties on this elemental social and industrial question? The difference between the party of construction and the party of destruction on this great issue of trusts, of which the instances I have given are examples, is that the party of construction says that the evil shall be remedied without destroying the principle of good which runs through all, and the party of destruction says that this whole development should be absolutely destroyed. It is the plea of the party of destruction that this development of our civilization tites all opportunities for advancement away from the young men. I am willing to leave that to the young man himself. Suppose a young man has neither money, friends nor any asset but his industry, his courage, his honor and his ability. Would he have as great an opportunity if all these combinations were destroyed, as he has to-day? "Can the young men of this Nation be frightened by the words 'Imperialism,' 'militarism' and all such shibboleths of fear? Who can establish an empire, young men of America, without your consent? Where will come the soldiers who will set their bayonets at the throat of our free institutions, if you, young men of America, yourselves, do not become those soldiers! Militarism! Imperialism! Young men of America, will you strike your colors to a fear, and that fear a fear of yourselves? "Young men of America, not all the forces of retreat will ever halt American advance. Our destiny is the mastery of the world, the lordship of the nations. It is a destiny determined by the geography of the globe. Our home is a continent with earth's two great oceans on either hand, highways for commerce, bulwarks for defense. Who so mad as to suppose that we will now reverse the instincts of our race? Who so simple as to suppose that we will now renounce the mission of extending American authority which our fathers in their day so nobly performed? Who so faithless as to believe that we, sons of our fathers, will stay the march of our fathers' flag? All so faithless to American blood, American traditions and American destiny shall perish in their folly. Our destiny is the lordship of the nations. It is a destiny determined by the most vile blood of the most vile nation of the world. We are not content to do less than our fathers did; and to do as much as they, we must do more. As they made our Nation secure by making it united at home, shall we keep it secure at home by making it supreme abroad. To us has come the voice that came to the young men of England, when circumstance sent them forth to establish civilization's empire at the ends of the earth. To us has come the voice that aroused the young men of every nation that has achieved in the predestined hour for that nation's awakening. We doubt not our fathers. We doubt not our institutions. We doubt not the blood we have inherited. We doubt not ourselves. And therefore go we forth to work, and the fields of labor to which events have called us are the fields at once of American prosperity, American duty and American glory. They are the fields longed for by every nation in the world—the fields those rival nations will occupy if America is too weak and too doubtful of herself for that glorious if arduous task. Young men of America, let us at our ballot boxes tell America's waiting and watching rivals that American decline will not begin with us. Up with the sacred banner of our faith in America's mission and America's might, and this be our motto: 'America's supremacy among the nations of the world—in this sign we conquer.'" A Noted Author Dies. Hartford, Conn., special: Charles Dudley Warner, noted writer, died suddenly, Saturday. He had been a sufferer for two years of pneumonia. Ten minutes before he died he was on the street. He was carried into the home of a friend and expired. A New York Bank Teller Dupes the Officers and Examiners and Gets Away With $700,000. New York special: Charles L. Alvord, Jr., note teller of the First National Bank of this city, is a fugitive and a defaulter to the extent of $700,000. The announcement of the defaulcation created much excitement, but the well known stability of the First National and a statement issued by the bank had a quieting effect. This statement follows: "The note teller, who has been in the employ of the First National Bank for many years, is a defaulter to a large amount. His operations have continued for a considerable period, and have been skillfully concealed through a manipulation of his balance book. The discovery was made by one of the bank's employees a few days after the completion of an examination of the bank by the United States examiners. During the continuance of his peculations, periodical examinations have been made by several distinct corps of examiners representing the controller's department, all expert accountants, and the bank has also had frequent independent examinations, neither of which has developed any troubles." Alvord had been with the bank for twenty years and was one of the most trusted men in the institution. His stealings extended over a long period, but no suspicion of the truth was known until ten days ago, when he sent word that he was ill at his home. After he had been away for a day or two the bank put experts at work and some irregularities were found. As the experts delved deeper and deeper into Alvord's books the extent of the robbery began to dawn on the officers until they were overwhelmed to find that it reached the enormous figure of $700,000. Whether that sum is all that he took is not yet known. "JIMMY" ADAMS' GREAT LUCK. Left West Virginia Poor and Returned a Millionaire. Berkley Springs, W. Va., special: "Jimmy" Adams has returned from the Klondike. He has also created a sensation by his spectacular arrival. When he left here three years ago he went with nothing and on a freight train. He returned Saturday in a private train, hauled by a leased locomotive, and brought with him nearly $200,000 in gold and papers representing mining possessions worth $5,000,-000 and prospectively ten times as much. When Adams was back from the north two years ago he had some gold and good prospects, but he had not written home since and no one was prepared for his return. At Detroit he tired of traveling in ordinary trains and took the best and biggest car he could get at $500 a day, coming along leisurely and stopping at Niagara Falls and New York. When he got to Brunswick, Md., he leased an engine to come over the branch line to Berkeley Springs, arriving at the station without a soul in town expecting him. He had his ten big trunks hauled to his father's house and deposited $150,000 gold in bank. A year ago he brought the old folks a fine farm and Saturday gave them $20,000 to put a house on it. "Jimmy" is a little more than twenty-two years old and is enthusiastic in his good will. FIGHT AT JAGERSFONTEIN. The Boers Make a Dangerous Night Attack on British Troops. London cable: Lord Roberts reports from Pretoria, under date of Oct. 18, as follows: "A party of Boers got into Jagersfontein on the night of Oct. 16 and a night ensued in the morning. Our loss was eleven killed. The Boers lost their commandant and twenty men. "Kelley-Kenney dispatched a column under Hughes Hallett, which should reach Jagersfontein today." The officials of the British War Office deny any contracts will be given to American manufacturers for railroad materials to be used in South Africa. They say that if any contracts have gone to the United States the Colonial Office or the South African colonial government is responsible. NEGRO PRISONER LYNCHED Hung by Louisiana Mob For Attempted Murder of a Conductor. New Orleans, La., special: The negro, Miley Johnson, who shot and dangerously wounded Conductor Will Jordan, of the Texas & Pacific road on Wednesday night, near Baton Rouge, was lynched at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. He had been incarcerated temporarily at the State capital, but Friday night Sheriff Dubroca, of West Baton Rouge, attempted to cross the river with him and land him in jail at Port Allen. A determined body of men met the officers conveying the negro when the skiff landed on the west bank of the river and with little difficulty obtained possession of the culprit. They carried him eleven miles to the scene of his crime and hanged him. Jordan may recover. SLAIN BY BANK ROBBERS A Missouri Officer Shot Down by Seven Masked Men. Bronaugh, Mo., special: Seven masked men wrecked the safe of the Farmers' Bank at about 1:30 o'clock Saturday morning. Dynamite was used, and the report was heard by Constable William T. Morren and the proprietor of the Bronaugh House, across the street from the bank. Constable Morren fired several times in the darkness in the direction of the report and shot after shot was returned by the robbers. One struck Morren and killed him. He was shot squarely between the eyes with a 44-caliber bullet. The robbers escaped. Cashier A. C. Brubaker, of the bank, says its loss is $1,625. Bar Tenders Strike Carbondale, Ill., special: A unique strike is on at Murphysboro. Every bartender connected with the thirty saloons of that city has gone out for pay for overtime and picnic days. It is probable the strike will not be settled for some time, as the saloon keepers refused to comply with the demands of the men. Cleveland's Postmaster-General Will Vote For McKinnie-His Kensons Therefor. Detroit special: Don M. Dickinson, Postmaster-General under President Cleveland, and the most eminent Democrat in Michigan, has given out a signed statement in which he explains why he must vote for the Republican national ticket this fall. In part he says: "Since the adoption of the Kansas City platform, and his nomination, I have never entertained a thought of voting for Mr. Bryan. I confess, however, in common with many Democrats, I hoped for a time that I might with a clear conscience stay away from the polls. But Mr. Bryan's speeches, particularly his later ones, have destroyed that illusion and convinced me that I must vote at the coming election. "I criticise no man of different views who can reconcile himself to the other course, but as for me, with the light I have, I am forced to the conviction that I would be a recreant American, false to my country, and false to my party as well, if I should take to the woods. "I am a Democrat on all the fundamental issues on which our party joined battle in the past with the Republicans, the Whigs and the Federalists, a Democrat without the prefix "gold," because my party has been the party of sound finance from Jefferson to Cleveland. I could not be a Republican if I would, and I stand by the creed of Democracy with all my old-time sincerity and faith. "But I recognize scarcely a vestige of Democratic principle in either the Chicago or Kansas City platform. The organization is in the hands of the Populists, and by these the livery of true Democracy has been stolen in which to serve all the devils that make for social disorder. "Mr. Bryan is preaching the gospel of hate. Voicing that, he appeals to the envious, the discontented, the improvident, the incompetent and the unworthy. But worse still, he endeavors to set friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, family against family, section against section, and nation against nation. He makes the always dangerous appeal to the evil in human nature. His postulates are Boxer and his propaganda is Boxer. He speaks no encouragement to the unsuccessful, but tells him to lay the blame at the door of his more fornuate neighbor, and that his sole remedy is to attack him. "Where is the intelligent citizen who believes in his heart that his Republican neighbors are not as good Americans and as good patrols as himself?" And yet in connection with his making a charge that the Republicans demanded a larger army, an increase with a minority of but 330—he has repeatedly said in his public speeches, as he said at Indianapolis: 'Why do they want it? So that they can build a fort near every large city and use the army to suppress by force the discontent that ought to be cured by remedial legislation.' "This from a candidate for the presidency of the United States, using all the power of his eloquence to carry conviction, especially to our foreign-born workmen, whose vote he solicits." BRYAN IN WASHINGTON He Tells Government Employees He Favors Limited Tenure of Office. Washington special: Hon. W. J. Bryan spent an hour and a quarter at the national capital Tuesday. His train arrived over the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad from West Virginia at 7:55 an hour late. About 1,000 people were awaiting him at the depot. A force of three score policemen and detectives were distributed between the two depots to maintain order. As the train pulled in amid cheers of the waiting crowd ex-Judge William M. Springer stepped to Mr. Bryan's private car at the rear of the train and welcomed him. The two then passed down through the depot, followed by a large and enthusiastic crowd, and gradually worked their way to the entrance. Here an automobile was in waiting, and they were taken to the residence of Judge Springer. Col. Isaac Hill was the only other guest. A few minutes before 9 o'clock Mr. Bryan was driven to the B. & O. depot, where he made a brief speech from his automobile. He spoke of imperialism and civil service. A large assemblage of people were massed about the depot. Mr. Bryan said: "Occasionally I hear it suggested that persons engaged in the civil service who are opposed to imperialism will vote the Republican ticket for fear of losing their positions with the government. Certainly there are not many who would prefer government employment under an empire to whatever risk might attend their employment under a republic. I am not much of an admirer of that civil service which is suspended when a President is inaugurated until he can fill his offices with his friends, and is extended by the President when he is about to retire in order that he may protect his friends in office. I believe that a system of civil service might be devised wherein appointments would be made upon merit and wherein the appointees would hold for a fixed term and not be dependent on the will of an appointing officer. The industrial despotism now inaugurated by the Republican party is closing the door of opportunity against the young man and driving many to seek government employment who under better conditions would be employed in producing industries." Mr. Bryan closed with the statement that it was not his highest ambition to be President, but to make this government so good that to be a private citizen in this Republic will be a greater honor than to be a king in any other nation. MADMEN IN REVOLT. Twenty Overpower Their Keepers and Escape From the Asylum. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., special: Twenty insane patients. Sunday evening, combined and overpowered six or eight keepers. They secured the keys, opened the doors and escaped. Some of the attendants were badly bruised. All but seven were recaptured; Queen Wilhelmina to Wed. The Hague cable: Queen Wilhelmina has proclaimed her betrothal to Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The Official Gazette contains the Queen's announcement of the engagement. In Response to Charges He Explains His Relations With the American Cotton Company. Chicago special; Chairman Jones, who has been repeatedly charged by Republician speakers with being at the head of a trust, Saturday issued the following formal statement explaining his relations with the American Cotton Company: "The American Cotton Company, with which I am connected, is no-more a trust than any commercial house, any stock farm, any cotton plantation, any other industrial enterprise in the United States. The company, as I have heretofore explained, operates on a patent right. Of course it seeks a market for its products and steadily seeks to extend its business. Roosevelt's allegations that I am connected with a trust is as mendacious as the Republican charge that the Democratic party is composed of Anarchists and that Democrats contemplate an assault on the Supreme Court of the United States. Roosevelt might just as well denounce me for growing cotton on my land as to denounce me for being connected with the American Cotton Company. If Roosevelt is ready to move for the abolition and prohibition of all patents and copyrights I will make ready to consider the question. The customers of the American Cotton Company, operating under a patent, have as many rights, or a patent, have, as the customers of the company operating under a copyright that sells the 'Rough Riders' and other works published by Roosevelt. Because the Democrats oppose trusts and monopolies is no reason why Democrats should not engage in legitimate business. Because we advocate equal rights and oppose special privileges Rough Riders like Roosevelt seem to think that we ought to abandon industry and business altogether. This alone shows the degrading influence of the party. They would spread this spirit of the trust over the intellect and political thought if they had the power." COMING TO AMERICA Great English Steel Firm Will Locate Near Wheeling, W. Va. Pittsburgh, Pa., special; The Commercial Gazette says: "Seybald & Dickstol, of Sheffield, England, the largest manufacturers of crucible steel in Great Britain, contemplate moving their plant, to the United States. A site providing excellent water and rail shipping facilities has been optioned near Wheeling, W. Va., and it is proposed to erect thereon a modern plant costing upward of $3,000,000, which, from the first, will employ about 3,500 men. The object of the move is to get into the American market. Constantly increasing cost of coal in England is a prominent factor, acting as an impetus to the move. "Charles Walker, who left the English firm twenty-two years ago to come to this country, and who is now an expert at the Demler works of the Firth-Sterling Steel Company, is in receipt of an autograph letter from the head of the English firm outlining the plans as given." BUYS AMERICAN HORSES. The Mexican Government Believed to be Preparing for War. Cheyenne, Wyo., special; Senor Manuel Alvarez, an agent of the Mexican government, came here about two weeks ago and since that time has purchased and shipped several carloads of saddle horses to the City of Mexico. From words dropped now and then by Senor Alvarez the Mexican government is preparing for war—either a rebellion or a war of conquest. Alvarez will say nothing as to his real purpose in buying so many horses, but it is a significant fact that he purchases only the very best saddle horses. The prices paid are in some cases fancy, and Senor Alvarez seems to have plenty of money. He does say that he was directed to this section because of the reputation made by Wyoming and Colorado horses in the late war with Spain. He says he wants only the very best animals. IMMIGRANTS HELD UP. Over Seven Hundred on La Bretagne in a Registration Muddle. New York special: The entire list of steerage passengers of the French liner La Bretagne, 716 in number, were held up on the registry floor of the barge office Saturday because it was claimed that a majority of the names were improperly manifested. No such hold-up of immigrants at the landing bureau of this port has occurred in years, if ever before. The immigrants would have been sent back to the ship had not the agent of the French line appeared in the afternoon and supplied a bond of $5,000 as a guarantee that the fines for all immigrants improperly manifested would be paid. Too Late For the Census. Huntington, W. Va., special: Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Walter J. Swanson gave birth to triplets. An hour later Mrs. Howard F. Swanson similarly surprised her husband. The mothers are twin sisters and the fathers twin brothers. They were married at the same time less than a year ago. Xontsey Gullty. Georgetown, Ky., special: The jury in the case of Henry Youtsey, on trial for complicity in the murder of Senator Goebel, Saturday returned a verdict of guilty, fixing the penalty at life imprisonment.

FOR PRESIDENT WILLIAM MCKINLEY FOR VICE-PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT "If Lincoln were here the colored man might vote for him, but the modern leaders of the Rebublican party have had more from the colored man then they have ever given to him. The colored man has bestowed presidencies upon the Republican party and received janitorhips in return." The above extract from the speech of Candidate Bryan, delivered recently in the state of West Virginia; sounds more like the wall of a dying calf, than the sayings of a sensible being. Manhood and citizenship is more to the Afro-American than mere position, and it is just and right that it should. The debt of gratitude, although it be as broad as the ocean of political existence, it is being paid by the black man, and it is to the Republican party that he is grateful. The paramount issue with the Negro, is first the liberty and citizenship of the black man. The colored voter can never swallow Bryan, Tillman, et al. Booker T. Washington announces that a contract with the Germau government has been closed with him to furnish students to teach cotton raising among the natives on the West coast of Africa. The students from Tuskegee, will be in the employ of the German government. Mr. Washington is to be congratulated, as the success of the movement means much to the colored man. 'When in doubt, abuse Mark Hanna' seems to be the Democratic maxim. Support the business enterprises of the race. They are truly the solution of the so-called race problem. Help make them what you would like them to be—representative and giving employment to the colored boys and girls. The democrats of the south say that the Afro-American is unfit to travel in first-class cars and they have passed laws providing special "Jim Crow" cars for his accommodation. No republican legislature has ever passed a separate car law. The hoodlums who were arrested on the charge of burning the Afro-American schoolhouse in New Orleans have been released "for lack of sufficient evidence." New Orleans is in democratic Louisiana. The rioters in Akron have been indicted. Akron is in republican Ohio. The spectacle of Bryan weeping and wailing over what the Chicago Chronicle calls a "parcel of saddle colored niggers" in the Philippines, while his party disfranchises hundreds of thousands of American citizens here at home, is a spectacle of hypocrisy which all history may be searched in vain to equal. It seems that some Kansas democratic politicians to make capital of the obsolete section of Oregon's constitution prohibiting the Afro-American from voting. No attempt has ever been made to enforce it. Every Afro-American in Oregon has as many privileges as any white man, and has always had. Bishop Turner says that he cares nothing for Bryan's financial policy because the money is all made and handled by white people. That may have been true once upon a time, but under the McKinley administration the Afro-Americans have handled $28,000,000 in payment for their services as office holders. The Afro-American planters of the south have also handled their share of the $500,000,000 paid for cotton produced in that section. Bryan is holding his peace regarding the course of the southern states which have adopted constitutional amendments discriminating against Afro-American citizens in the exercise of the right to vote. He will leave to the supreme court the duty of determining whether by this action the states have violated the constitution of the United States. With the possibility that some of the present justices may be retired and their places filled by such men as Altgeld and Tillman it is easy to infer what decision would be reached. Trusts, corporations and syndicates are not necessarily dishonest or injurious. Building associations managed and controlled by bona fide members are good things and benefit the members, assisting them to get homes and become good citizens. Tell City, Ind., was founded many years ago by a Swiss syndicate, every member of which was a participant in the enterprise, and it has been a decided success in a business, social and financial sense. Rugby, in the mountains of Tennessee, is another example of the same kind, and is proving the wisdom of its founders. "In war or in peace, whether dealing with whites or blacks, foreign or native, President McKinley's course has been dictated by the singleness of purpose—that of faithfully administering the trust placed in his hands. Uninfluenced by prejudice, unmoved by ill-advised clamor, and unruffled by captious criticism, he pursues the even tenor of his way, adhering steadfastly to the right as God gives him the light to see the right, vindicating day by day the judgment of his supporters, and presenting to the nations of the globe the perfect embodiment of the typical American."—Charles H. Grosvenor, Bishop B. W. Arnett, Cyrus Field Adams and Dr. E. Lyon are members of the republican national advisory committee, with Senator Depew, Senator Platt, Col. Myron T. Herrick, Col. Frank O. Lowden, Thomas Lowry and other leading republicans of the country. The Afro-American race is always given recognition by the republican party. The national democratic committee started a "Jim Crow" department away from the main headquarters for the purpose of catching the Afro-American vote, but J. Milton Turner and the others in charge began fighting among themselves and even this was abandoned. The democrats have given up all hope of getting any appreciable percentage of the Afro-American vote. The president's lesson to the Afro-Americans: When President McKinley appointed the late ex-Senator Bruce to the position of register of the treasury considerable surprise was felt that he should select an Afro-American to fill so important a position. One day a friend asked him what his reasons were for appointing Bruce. "I have two," replied the president. "The first is the man's fitness for the position. The second is that Bruce's name will appear on every bank bill that will be issued by the government while he is in office, and every Afro-American who gets one of the notes can read on it the name of a man of his own race and see in it the lesson that, with economy, industry, honesty and ambition, this govern- ment will recognize him the same as it does men of a lighter color of skin." —Ladies' Home Journal. There are 18,267 Afro-Americans in the public service. Ten cent cotton means many votes for McKinley in the south. The democratic party opposes every high aspiration of the Afro-American. As we near the frosts of November, Bryan stock, like silver, keeps declining. Bryan now yearns for the 47-cent dollar just as he yearned four years ago. Pitchfork Tillman has the gal- charge that the republican party tends to repeal the thirteenth, f- teenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. The Afro-Ameri- voters are willing to take chances w the party which has always stood human liberty. Mr. Bryan admits that the g newspapers are against him. He m also admit that the really great t of his party are against him, that great religious leaders are aga- him; that the great business men against him. In fact the only g men in Mr. Bryan's train are those e are great in some unsavory reputa- and folly: Altgeld, Tillman, D A vote for Bryan is a vote for a 50-cent dollar and an empty market basket. There are 2,517 Afro-Americans on the pay rolls in the District of Columbia. The danger which threatens our national life is the democratic disregard for law. Democratic newspapers publish column upon column of matter slandering the Afro-Americans. Rally on the center; touch elbows; clutch arms; charge all along the line, and victory is ours. George Smith, an Afro-American of Indianapolis, said to be 105 years old, declares that he will vote for McKinley. The 34 Afro-Americans who are employed in the Savannah (Ga.) post office draw salaries amounting to $34,940 per annum. The southern democrats always dominate in the national democracy. Pitchfork Tillman would rule in case of Bryan's election. Bishop Turner says that he believes that Bryan will stop lynching if he is elected president. Bryan may be willing to do so, but will Tillman, who will be the power behind the throne, allow it? Bryanism pure and simple is the paramount issue, and that means Tillmanism, Altgelidism, free silverism, anarchism and all the other deadlyisms which threaten the very existence of the republic. While President McKinley and other republican leaders hesitated, in the unprepared condition of the country, the voice of the democratic party was for immediate and unconditional war; but when the Spanish war was over and only the rightful authority of the government was to be maintained over its newly-acquired possessions, the attempt to maintain it became, to democratic minds, an evidence as in 1864, of imperialism. Appreciating the superior services of the Afro-American troops in the recent war with Spain, President McKinley decided to increase the number of regiments in the regular army, and on the 8th of September, 1899, issued an order for the organization of two new regiments of infantry, to be composed of Afro-Americans. The democrats protested against this action, but to no avail. These regiments are now on duty in the Philippines. The prominence of the Afro-American in the republican party and the fact that the race has been given so much recognition under McKinley is one of the especial points of attack by democratic spellbinders. Should the democratic party succeed in November thousands of Afro-Americans would lose their official heads, thousands in mercantile, industrial and agricultural pursuits would be thrown out of work. The loss of salaries in governmental places would be not less than $5,000,000. The loss in other lines would be not less than $100,000,000. Pitchfork Tillman has the gall to charge that the republican party intends to repeal the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. The Afro-American voters are willing to take chances with the party which has always stood for human liberty. Mr. Bryan admits that the great newspapers are against him. He might also admit that the really great men of his party are against him, that the great religious leaders are against him; that the great business men are against him. In fact the only great men in Mr. Bryan's train are those who are great in some unsavory reputation and folly: Altgeld, Tillman, Debs, Coxey, et al. The southern states are sharing in the general prosperity produced by the economic and financial policies adopted and maintained since 1896. This means that the Afro-Americans get their share for they produce, according to well informed people at least 80 per cent. of the cotton crop, for which they are receiving nearly three times as much as under a democratic administration. --- Mr. Bryan is very much worried about the disfranchisement of the people of the District of Columbia, but while he was a member of congress he made no attempt to give the ballot to the citizens of the district. Pitchfork Tillman says he would rather be a "southern nigger" than an "ignorant foreign Pennsylvania miner." Like all southern democrats who get up in the world, Tillman despises the poorer classes,, white and black. The democrats of New Orleans are striking at the race in another way. The school board has decided that no school for the race is to give instruction in any grade higher than the fifth. The southern democrats seem determined to keep the Afro-American down. Anti-imperialists who sweat blood because McKinley, in obedience to the senate, assumes to place the flag in Manila and to defend it there, are silent over the fact that Louisiana and Mississippi pass laws that admit the vote to white men who cannot read and write and deny it to black men because they cannot read and write.—Lewiston Journal. WAYMAN CHAPEL. There will be a grand rally Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and evening at 7:30 o'clock. Henry McNeal Turner, D D., L L D., senior bishop of the A. M. E.

Gilliam - The cool, pleasant weather of the past two weeks has apparently given the membera and friends new life and the attendance at the services, especially during the week, has largely increased. There were good congregations on Sunday, and more than the usual number at the class meeting and the Epworth league, under the energetic leadership of President Knox, is taking giant strides forward. With the addition of three new teachers to the Sunday school, the indications point to a steady growth and more efficient work. On Sunday next (to-morrow) the states will make their monthly return of revenue collected and we expect at least $150 000. The New Yorkers have been hard at work during the week. On Thursday they served an all day dinner at the residence of Mr. Wm. Lonas, and on Wednesday had Prof. Kennedy give one of his unique and entertaining concerts. The embroidery class, sewing circle met at the home of Mrs. Katie Boyer, in Muskingum street, Thursday afternoon and had a pleasant and profitable meeting.

Here are examples of what the mind can be made do. And yet some people, yea thousands of people, indeed the majority of people are too mentally indolent to commit one verse to memory. Think of the young colored men who are letting splendid minds go to wreck for the want of strengthening the memory with the braces of literary support, cannot recite anything, have not memorized a verse of anything. The memorizing of the whole of some of Shukegeares plays ought to be an audinary attainment for most any young man. No young man or lady ought to feel exempt from ridiculecensure and ostricism who has not committed for ready use a choice number of pieces in prose and poetry, we owe it to society. What would a large and fine looking orchard of fruit trees look like without fruit? In the great orchard of memory we have just such trees, men and women with good minds who have never committed a thing to memory. How much time now committed to vice, idleness and dissipation could be drawn to a loftier purpose just by pining the mind to the industry of memorizing. How many young men would be attractive stars in respectable society today, rather than pimps, and imates of dives and dogrel, if they would confine themselves to printing upon the walls of their memory, a few of the very rich pages of thought from the worlds great volume of Literature.

THE RECORDER. INDIANAPOLIS. INDIANA GOOD CHEER. IN 1896—THE ELECTION—IN 1900 Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on. 'Twas not given for you alone— Pass it on. Let it travel down the years. Let it wipe another's tears. Till in heaven the deed appears, Pass it on. If You Think You Know How It's Going, Cut This Out, Fill It In and Preserve. THREE. ANGELS. They say this life is barren, drear and cold. Ever the same sad song was sung of old. Ever the same long, weary tale is told. And to our lips is held the cup of strife. And yet—a little love can sweeten life. They say our hands may grasp but joys destroyed; Youth has but dreams and age an aching void. Whose Dead Sea fruit, long, long ago has cloyed. Whose night with wild tempestuous storms is rife— And yet a little hope can brighten life. They say we fling ourselves in wild despair. Amid the broken treasures scattered there. Where all is wrecked, where all once promised fair; And stab ourselves with sorrow's two-edged knife— And yet a little patience strengthens life. Is it, then, true, this tale of bitter grief. Of mortal anguish finding no relief? Lo! midst the winter shines the laurel's leaf; Three angels share the lot of human strife. Three angels glorify the path of life. Love, Hope and Patience cheer us on our way; Love, Hope and Patience form our spirit's stay; Love, Hope and Patience watch us day by day. And bid the desert bloom with beauty vernal. Until the earth fades into the eternal. -F. S., in Temple Bar.

Now and again speimens may be found of 20 years and over. Real, live, unmistakable, heard-a-mile-off babies are always young. Babies have features. With a good microscope you can see a baby's nose. It has a high forehead—one that goes right over to the back of its neck. A baby's ears are put on for amusement, solely to relieve its great expanse of cheek. The places where its eyebrows ought to be are there, but the eyebrows have not arrived, which gives rise to a suspicion that babies are bare-faced creatures. A baby has eyes which eyes it chiefly uses to express astonishment—evoked, no doubt, by the anties and language of those about. It has a mouth, too, which it keeps for putting its hands and feet into, together with keys, pencils, coins, pieces of coal and other odds and ends it may find lying about. A baby's mouth is by far the most useful of its possessions. Babies wear clothes. The chief object aimed at in dressing a baby is to lose the baby among the clothes. If you have a foot and a half or two feet of baby, you will require from 40 to 50 yards of clothes to dress it properly. The reason for this is that every baby is the best baby that ever was born, and the fact must be recognized. Besides, somebody might wish to steal it; and in such a case, the longer he had to look for it, the greater would be the chance of catching him.—London Tit-Bits. Instead of Black. For some time it has been customary 15 wear a black taffeta or black satin stock collar. But now the fat has gone forth that we shall wear colored bands around the throat this winter. Chestnut brown velvet makes a becoming collar: cranberry crimson, pale or bright blue, old rose, ivy green, emerald green, violet or plum color and even orange collars are being made ready. The red collar has a certain vogue just now. There are several good shades, but the brilliant dye called "rouge" has the preference. As autumn and winter suits of clothes are apt to be dark of hue, the touch of color at the throat is welcome. In many cases it will be repeated at the waist with a girdle of green, orange or rouge velvet. Care of Laces Iron lace on the right side first, then on the wrong side, to throw up the patterns. When ironing laces, cover them with clean, white tissue paper. This prevents the shiny look seen on washed lace. When putting lace away, fold as little as possible. A good plan is to wind it round a card, as they do in the shops. Use corn flour instead of ordinary starch for stiffening laces. This makes them firm and does not detract from the "lacy" appearance. Laces and other delicate trifles should be placed in a muslin bag before being boiled. This prevents their getting lost and torn in the wash. After "getting up" laces, do not leave them to air in a damp place—round the fire when the kettle is boiling, for instance. This robs them of their freshness and makes them look tinn. All laces before being ironed, should be carefully pulled out, each point receiving attention. You will be repaid for your trouble, as the lace will look twice as nice and last clean a much longer time. Change in Shower Fad. A pretty story is told of some Western university girls and the novel surprise party they gave one of their mates who was about to be married. A week before the time set for the wedding, when the bride was "up to her eyes" in work, there came one day about a half hour before luncheon a small pull at the bell, followed by the entrance of a dozen of her classmates, who announced that they had come for luncheon. The natural consternation of the hostess at this unexpected addition to her family was assuaged when each girl produced not only the component part of a most delicious meal, but dainty individual cups and saucers as well. When the merry feast was ended, the dozen cups and saucers were left behind as souvenirs of the occasion. Nor was this all. Carefully wrapped in tissue paper and tied with baby ribbon in the college colors, were all sorts of small kitchen conveniences—egg beaters, potato ricers, larding needles, a set of silver skewers and the like. These were stealthily tucked into the interstices of the wedding chest, which was being packed, as other practical reminders of the happy college days' comradeship. Household Decoration The fireplace, as we all know, must be the center of interest in a room, representing, as it does, the gathering place for a family. The mantel is part of the fireplace, and generally gives the keynote to the room. When it is architecturally good, it must be treated with more or less formality. The ornaments which go on it should be those which in themselves are interesting, on which the eye can rest with satisfaction when it travels up from the blaze beneath. Little gewgaws and knick-knacks have no place on it. Dignity, simplicity, and reserve must, together with the beautiful, be suggested in every detail. When a mantel shelf is low, low enough to support an elbow, and when it comes over a grate, it can often be treated in a more informal manner, and be made to enter into the daily life of the householder, as it were.—Harper's Bazar. The Flannel Waist. The day of the flannel waist is not done by any means, and such a fetching and comfortable garment, even in its plain forms, is bound to hold its popularity. As it presents itself this fall, it is frequently in elaborate form, sometimes with the body tucked all over, with collar band, center box pleat and revers of white flannel. The revers are generally embroidered. The upper part of the sleeves only are tucked, and cuffs flare and turn backward. Other waists of embroidered French flannel have the fronts deeply scalloped and overlapping a tucked vest of white silk, and high collar to match. The Best Cosmetic. "There is no cosmetic equal to hot water and a good woolen rag," says a bright and rosy matron of 50, who, for many years had used no other. "Every night and morning I give my face a thorough washing with a piece of white flannel in hot water. Once in a great while I use soap, but not often, as I have found the hot water, persistently used, very satisfactory. If the skin has not been exposed to a great amount of dust the water may be merely sopped upon the face at night, as once a day is often enough for the scrub.

A month of such treatment will transform any complexion. My skin is much fairer and rosier now than when I was 20. I had naturally a poor complexion, coarse and muddy.

In 16 States a wife has no right to her own earnings outside the home. In 8 States a wife has no right to her own property after marriage. In 7 States there is no law compelling a man to support his wife and family. In all the States (except the four in which women are voters) there is discrimination against women in the matter of employment and compensation. Green on Top. The sad news must be told! The green wall papers are more expensive than the other colors. The shopkeeper explains it by saying his choice patterns and best qualities of paper used to cost more. They do not repeat these in colors less in request. They do not seem to have these in green in low-priced papers. More's the pity! Green velvets and green morceen are triumphantly produced by the draper for you to examine. It is true the rich crimson draperies are shown to help your selection, but the sapient salesman knows these are often introduced as a foli in order to exhibit the full value of the verdant coloring. Moreen is durable, but it is not beautiful. You see a great deal of it just now. Time was when white enamel, or rose enamel, or pale blue, was desired in bedroom sets. The green wicker chair and lounges and green enamel bedroom sets are now in request. It is a pale willow green, cool looking and very pretty. It is easier to keep such furniture in order than when it is pure white. It is not desirable to have any touch of gilding added. The green chiffonier is a pretty piece of furniture. It is impossible to make a tour of the establishments where artistic furnishing is elevated to a science with out reaching the conviction that green is the color prescribed by Fashion. It is the same thing if you investigate wall papering or inside house painting. The green is on top every time. Finally it is soon discovered if you ignore rugs the carpet pressed upon your attention this season are sure to be green. There will probably be a touch of some other color to carry the design. The background is almost crain to be green. Short Fashions White chiffon tucked with gold thread and laid over gold tissue is one of the latest and prettiest fancies for vests, collars and the like. Red hats grow more and more audacious. Red felts or velvet turbans trimmed in scarlet velvet granulina or sprawling velvet popies fames in almost all of the millinery windows. White corduroy skirts are replacing the white pique skirts now that cool days have come, and are more practical than they seem, for the white corduroy can be laundered as easily as pique. It must, however, be washed carefully and pressed upon the wrong side with an iron not too hot. HORRIBLE SUFFERINGS Of Horses Shipped to Cape Nome by Small Steamers. A. Van der Naillen, Jr., of 933 Market street, is in receipt of a letter from A. G. Wrightson, who was one of the passengers for Nome on the steamer Noyo, in which the writer graphically describes the cruel torture the unfortunate horses shipped for the north on the steamer had to endure owing to inadequate accommodation and lack of ordinary care. The Noyo took north 33 head of fine horses, of which but 22 reached their destination. 11 having been pitched overboard after they had gone through sufferings which Wrightson describes as sickening. The animals were put in rough weed stalls and simply tied by the head, not the slightest effort being made to provide the customary sling for padding at the back, front and sides of the stalls. When the Noyo, which is a small boat, got outside where a heavy sea was running the misery of the live stock began. Every roll or pitch of the ship would throw the terrified animals violently against one side of their stalls and the reverse motion pitched them back. Three days out one mare went mad from her horrible torture. The flesh on her chest was ripped completely off, exposing her quivering muscles, and she was terribly battered and bruised all over. The wretched animal, crazed by her misery, beat her head from side to side of the stall until death came and mercifully ended her suffering. At this time the horses presented such a puffish sight that Van der Naillen's correspondent says it would have been a merciful thing to have taken a gun and shot the poor beasts. Another bride that died after four days of incessant flinging about and violent concession was in an describably hideous condition. The term flesh had grenaded. The heavy seas which broke over the vessel and fell in torrents on the luckless brutes, says Mr. Wrightson, also caused them great misery. In summing up his account of the horrors of the horse psis Wrightson says, "It was a sight which would beggar description." This state of things was apparently existent on board others of the Nome fleet, for the letter goes on to say: "We occasionally passed other floating carcasses, which had evidently been cast overboard from some north bound steamer. It all seemed to point to the same sad tale of suffering." Mr. Wrightson says that with ordinal care all this cruelty might have been averted. Sacks stuffed with straw should be mailed to the sides, front of each stall to form a soft folding, and, as is done on army horse transports, each horse should be steamed by a braap passed under him. "These measures," says Mr. Wrightson, "would add to the comfort and health of the horses and as a consequence to the receipts of the owners while at the same time such scenes as those which occurred on the Nog would be prevented." Mr. Wrightson in conclusion says he desires the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to be informed of the conditions and also all stockmen who intend shipping horses north-San Francisco Call. Preserves From Roses. From a Long Island woman, members of whose family lived for a long time in Damascus, the following recipe for rose syrup is obtained: Cut the roses in full bloom, pull out the petals and spread on a tray to prevent mildew. Keep cutting the roses off and spreading the petals out until there is enough for a jar or tumble of preserve. If you can do up only a small quantity. Then put the rose leaves into a preserve kettle with water, cover and cook till tender. Add sugar and boil until it forms a syrup. Pour into fruit cars or jelly jars. In Damascus this is served in small cups and passed around on silver trays for a pretake of. visitors to patio. It makes, also, a delicious addition to pudding sauce, or the batter for delicate cake, and the English or American residents of Damascus have added to it mince pie with happy results, a peculiarly delicate flavor being imparted to the pie.—Brooklyn Eagle We don't know what the "yellow peril" is the newspapers talk about, but we imagine it is the stuff called salad dressing, which the women insist upon smearing upon everything on the table - Atchison Globe. "I could'nt Sew another Stitch to Save my Life." A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant to-night. The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day and night, the weary form and aching head have known no rest, for the dress must be finished in time. To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would say a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicate serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed system. For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is nothing so reliable as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness. Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, 49 Union St., Salem, N. J. writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I feel it is my duty to write and tell you how grateful I am to you for what your medicine has done for me. At one time I suffered everything a woman could. I had inflammation of the ovaries, falling of the womb, and leucorrhoea. At times could not hold a needle to sew. The first dose of your Vegetable Compound helped me so much that I kept on using it. I have now taken six bottles and am well and able to do my work. I also ride a wheel and feel no bad effects from it. I am thankful to the Giver of all good for giving you the wisdom of curing suffering women. I recommend your medicine to every woman troubled with any of these diseases." Mrs. Sarah Swoder, 103 West St., La Porte, Ind., writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM!-It gives me great pleasure to tell you how much good Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. "I had been a sufferer for years with female trouble. I could not sew but a few minutes at a time without suffering terribly with my head. My back and kidneys also troubled me all the time. I was advised by a friend to take your medicine. I had no faith in it, but decided to try it. After taking it, it so much better that I continued its use, and by the end I taken six bottles I was cured. There is no other medicine for me. I recommend it to all my friends." have deposited with the National City Bank, of Lynn, Md., which will be paid to any person who will show that the testimonials are not genuine, or were published before obtaining the writers' special permission. - LYDIA E.

Marion Street Car War-Express Agent's Suicide-Indiana Masons-Labor War Brewing-Whirled to Death on a Fly Wheel-State News. A Cow Causes a Wreck. Vincennes special: A cow was responsible for a disastrous wreck on the Evansville & Terre Haute railway Sunday afternoon. Three passengers were seriously injured, one man is missing, two race horses were killed and a large amount of property burned. The wrecked train was a freight. It was two miles south of Purcell's when a cow disputed possession of the track. The locomotive struck the animal and was derailed. Eighteen cars were piled on top of the engine. Four of the cars were oil tanks. The oil ignited, setting fire to the mass of wreckage, making a furious blaze. The head brakeman could not be found and is believed to have perished. Two race horses.-H. M. C. and Emma—which had been at the Vincennes fair, and owned by Evansville men, were killed. The engineer and firemen saved their lives by jumping. Owing to the obstruction, trains went around by Mount Carmel. In searching in the wreck the charred remains of a man were found Monday morning and identified as the body of Robert B. Jerusalem, a merchant of this city. He leaves an estate valued at $40,000. His wife is now visiting in New York. Mr. Jerusalem moved to Vincennes from Indianapolis three years ago after a prominent and successful career as a merchant in the Capital City. He was thirty-four years old. Marlon Street Car War. Marion special: The Union Traction Company street car trust is making strong effort to down the independent line in this city. A short time ago the company announced that twenty-five tickets would be sold for 25 cents on the college line. The home line had just completed its lines to the college and the traction company made the reduced rate to drive them out. Not satisfied with this, the trust reduced the rate on the Soldiers' Home line to 1 cent, and the move may cause the home company to discontinue its lines. The action of the street car trust meets with strong disapproval here and the labor leaders are earnestly opposed to it. Several months ago it became known that the traction company would make the move and the Soldiers' Home officials announced that they would object to the change in the rate, but it is not known what action they will take in the matter. Express Agent's Suicide. Bedford special: The dead body of Walter T. Glover, well known here, was found Tuesday evening. There was a bullet hole in the head and a revolver nearby, showing that he had committed suicide. Mr. Glover was about twenty-eight years old, and had been the agent for the American Express Company at Bedford for three years. E. C. Burton, auditor of the express company, had arrived during the day, for the purpose of checking up the business of the company. When Glover started to dinner he seemed in the best of spirits, remarking to the auditor that he would be back as soon as he had eaten, and would assist in going over the books. Mr. Burton went to the hotel for dinner, returned to the office afterward and waited until about 2 o'clock, but Glover did not come. T. G. Glover, father of the young man, went home to see why his son had not returned. Mrs. Glover stated that her husband had eaten his dinner and gone to the stable where he kept his horse. Mrs. Glover went out to see what was the matter, and was horrified to find the body. It was lying in a pool of blood in a stall. Young Glover had placed the revolver to his right temple and fired the fatal shot. The bullet passed through the head. The cause of the suicide is unknown. Glover leaves a widow and two children. Indiana Masons The forty-fifth annual session of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Master Masons of Indiana was opened Tuesday in Masonic Hall, Indianapolis, with each of the fifty-one councils of the State represented. In addition to the delegates there are a number of visiting Masons from all over the State. The principal business of the afternoon was the election of grand officers for the ensuing year. The following were named: Illustrous Grand Master—Hannibal C. Yount, of Covington. Deputy Illustrous Grand Master—John J. Richards, of New Albany. Grand Principal Conductor of the Work -Grand F. Kelper, of Lafayette. Grand Treasurer-Martin H. Rice, of Indianapolis. Grand Recorder—William H. Smythe, of Indianapolis. Grand Captain of the Guards—Joseph I. Schumacher, of Anderson. Labor War Breaking. Muncie special: Labor trouble is threatened at Eaton over the starting of the Baur window glass factory. The plant is independent, and is in the center of the strongest Burns faction in Indiana. The Burns men, upon learning that the plant was to be started, prepared to prevent it. The workingmen, principally from this city, were hauled from Shidler to Eaton in carriages Sunday night, fearing to go into the city on the train. They entered the factory and have not since left it. Four shops were started Tuesday, At 10 o'clock a large delegation from Hartford City and other towns, numbering 500 men, arrived. The trust plants at Hartford City closed to allow the workmen to go and use their influence toward preventing the operating of the Baur plant. Headed by a brass band, the monster delegation started for the factory, cheering lustfully. Upon reaching the plant they surrounded it and were met by a guard of thirty deputized marshals. A conference with the men at work was not allowed, the workingmen refusing in any way to communicate with the Burns faction. After considerable parleying the delegation returned to the city and a number of speeches were made by leaders. Another attempt will be made to stop the men. If they interfere materially with the workmen serious trouble will be inevitable, as the workingmen are equally as determined as the Burns faction. Fatal Fall of a Willful Child. Lawrence, the three-year-old son of John Wood, a carpenter, of 435 McCarty street. Tuesday fell from the window on the third floor of the block at 39 Kentucky avenue, where Mrs. Wood and the boy were visiting with Mrs. Douglass. The child's skull was fractured in several places and the bruises about the body are dangerous. The injuries were such that recovery was out of the question. The child was playing about the room and saw some object which it wanted hanging near the window. The mother told the child it could not have the object of its desire, whereupon he replied, "I will," and started on the run toward the open window. Mrs. Wood tried to stop him. The boy stumbled and fell through the window, alighting on the pavement.-Indianapolis Journal. Whirled to Death on a Fly Wheel Muncle special: Leslie Higgins was instantly killed at the pumping station of the Ohio-Indiana Gas Company, one mile south of Redkey, Tuesday. While olling the machinery the man's coat tail caught in the flywheel and he was carried around with the wheel. His body was beaten into an unrecognizable mass, nearly every bone being broken. He moved from Winchester last week and was a new engineer in the station. To Build Electric Line Portland special: The Oil Belt Traction Company, a corporation organized about a year ago, to build an electric road from here to Huntington, reports that funds have been secured and work will begin within sixty days. The road will be sixty-one miles in length. An Aged Invalid Burned South Bend special: Mrs. Eliza Croker, aged seventy-six years, awoke in the night and lighted a match to find a glass of water. She dropped the match on the floor, setting the carpet on fire. The flames reached the bed clothing, and before she could be rescued her body was burned almost to a crisp. She died from the injuries. Mrs. Croker has been an invalid for many years. Uncut G'ass Pilling Up. Muncie special: The trust window glass plants in this city and surrounding towns are being filled with glass, on account of the crippled force of cutters. Tuesday was a busy day at the Muncie plants in the cutting departments. None of the cutters are members of the league. The management hopes the force will soon be competent to keep up with the blowers and flatteners and take care of the work. Shipments are few, owing to the trouble in getting the glass out. All places are filled with incompetent workmen. Crushed the Innocents Jeffersonville special: Cora Taylor and Carrie Carlin, aged eight and seven years respectively, were victims of accidents within half an hour of each other Monday afternoon, which probably will prove fatal for the former, if not for both. The little Taylor girl was playing in the street when she was run over by a coal wagon, suffering serious injuries. Her head was badly crushed and it is believed she can not recover. Thirty minutes after this accident the Carlin child was run over by a grocery wagon. Both legs were badly crushed and she was otherwise seriously injured. Church Cornerstone Laid. Worthington special: The laying of the cornerstone of the new M. E. Church, in this city, took place Monday afternoon, and was attended by impressive ceremonies. The address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Doddridge, of Greencastle. The building is at the corner of Main and Lafayette streets, and will be fifty-five and one-half by seventy-five and one-half feet, with basement under all, containing dining room, kitchen, furnace, and fuel room. The first floor will contain an auditorium, with a seating capacity of six hundred persons, a Sunday school room and two class rooms. The building will be of Bedford rough dressed stone and pressed brick, and when completed will cost $10,000.

"Stop det recyin', chile; doan yo' see yo' mamma gittin' out yo' suppah?" With this remark she offered the breast to the child, but it wouldn't take it. Conxingly, she said: "Hush yo' squealin', yo' black rascal, an' take yo' suppah; if yo' doan I'se gwine ter give it to the conductah?" The roar that went up in the car was defening.
