THE VICTIM OF A FIENDISH JOKE DEATH OF AGED NEGRO OF HAMBURG, IOWA IS EXPLAINED. WAS LITERALLY SCARED TO DEATH His Persecutors Threaten to Burn Him Alive. Hamburg, Ia., April 25,—(Special.)—The information has just leaked out that John C. Goodlow, an aged Negro, who was found dead in an old corncrib in Missouri just south of the state line, was the victim of a fiendish practical joke perpetrated by a number of young men last Sunday night. All the participants maintained a discreet silence about the affair, and the victim was buried with a certificate from the the coroner's jury that death was due to "natural causes." It has since leaked out, however, that Goodlow came to his death as the result of tortures and torments at the hands of his white companions in an orgy for which one at least of the participants has come to regret the part he took. The affair was intended merely as a joke. Goodlow was accused of some imaginary crime, and the jokers proceeded to mete out to him the punishment which they pretened he so richly deserved. After tieing him with ropes and nailing his feet to a board, he was covered with wood, rags and shavings, and a kerosene rag placed near his nose so that he would get the smell, a bucket of water which the victim was informed was coal oil, was thrown over him, and preparations were made to apply the torch when the old man ceased his outcries. Then the jesting ceased. The jokers realized that their fun had been carried too far. They removed the wood and debris and began to untie the Negro. When it was discovered that he was dead he was carried quietly away and dumped in the corn crib, where he was found the next day. The tragedy was enacted in the neighborhood of what is known as the State Line saloon, the proprietor of which has disappeared from the neighborhood. This saloon it is said has been the resort of criminals from the Iowa side of the line for some time. The proprietor's name is Charles Reynolds, and he has gone by the nickname of "snowball." Goodlow was 61 years of age, and had lived in Hamburg for twenty-six years. He was an honest hard-working man, who had always provided well for his wife and six children. NICK CHILES GETS LETTER Topeka, Kan, April 25.—Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plain Dealer, in this city, today received a letter from the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry Del Val. The Western Negro Press association, of which Chiles is president, at its annual meeting adopted a resolution urging the pope to use his good offices for better treatment of the Negro race in this country. Mr. Chiles gave a copy of the resolution Senator Burton, who sent it to Cardinal Gibbons. The latter in turn forwarded it to Rome. The letter, which came through Cardinal Gibbons, says: "I have much pleasure in assuring you that his holiness has read the resolution with interest and sympathy, and I commissioned to thank you and all your associates very cordially in his name. The sovereing pontiff is well aware that there are many Catholics among the Negroas of the United States, and this knowledge increases his interest in the welfare of your race. His holiness, as the vicar of Christ, extends his loving care to every race without exception, and he must necessarily use his good office to urge all Catholics to be friendly to Negroes, who are called, no less than other men, to share in all the great benefits of the redemption. "The life and example of St. Peter Claver and so many other Catholic missionaries are there to shog that this is no new conception of the apostolate entrusted to the church of Christ. "Whilst frankly admitting that crimes may often be committed by members of the Negro race, his holiness advocates for them the justice granted to other men by the laws of the land and a treatment in keeping with the tenents of Christianity. "I am confident that these sentiments are shared by the vast majority of the great American people and by those who are responsible for the custody of the principles underlying the American constitution." A GOOD COACH. Alexander Irwin, coach of the Northwestern Academy baseball team, has the distinction of being perhaps the only colored man in the country who is coach of a white baseball team. But Irwin understands his job thoroughly, and he is developing such a team that no question has ever been raised concerning his color. Irwin is 23 years of age, and has lived in Evanston since he was a small boy. He played second base on the Evanston High School baseball team, and has since played professional ball with the Chicago Unions, the Columbian Giants and the Algona, Iowa team. Next year he will go to Howard University at Washington, D. C., where he will have charge of the track, football and baseball teams. It will be remembered by those who attended any of the Chicago Union Giants and Algona Brownies games, last summer, that Mr. Irwin was one of the best players, and did good work with the bat. LYNCHERS DESPISE LAW; MENACE TO GOVERNMENT Birmingham, Ala., April 26. "There is never an occasion when the resort to lynch law can be justified. However dark and dreadful the crime, punishment should be inflicted by due process of law. Every lyncher becomes a law-despiser, and every law-despiser is a betrayer of his country. The lynching spirit, unrestrained, increases in geometrical progression." Bishop Charles B. Galloway of the Southern Methodist church said this before the national educational conference tonight, speaking on the subject "The South and the Negro." The first duty of the colored race, Bishop Galloway said, was to guarantee the Negro equal protection under the law. "There should be no aristocracy in crime. We have reason for alarm at the phenomenal growth of the spirit of lawlessness. And it is not confined to any one section." The second duty was to insure the right of the Negro to education. Bishop Galloway said, in considering the Negro question, there was no disguising the fact that there is a great unrest among the Negroes of the South, one which will cause the South to face industrial disaster unless this condition is changed. He declared that politics furnished the difficulty and that for the best interests of both races the Negro question should be eliminated from local and national politics. As things that are settled, Bishop Galloway enumerated these: "In the South there will never be any social mingling of the races; they will worship in separate churches, and be educated in separate schools; the political power will remain in present hands; the great body of Negroes is here to stay." Suppress Negro schools, Bishop Galloway said, and the government could not survive. While results had been disappointing in part, the lesson taught was not to discontinue them, but to improve the standard of education. He refuted the statement that educated Negroes are the most Fine New Stock of Furniture and Carpets Everything Needed to Furnish Your Home Complete.

Veteran Colored Chef in Rock Island Dining Car Succumbs to Injuries "Uncle Jimmie" Waters, one of the veteran colored cooks in the dining car service of the Rock Island road, is dead, as a result of injuries sustained a week ago. At that time he reached Davenport and went to his room in the boarding house kept by Mrs. Roberts at $322\frac{1}{2}$ East Fourth street, and as he had been on the road for a long time he retired immediately. Waters was 50 years of age, and as he was almost exhausted by overwork he was restless, and during the night he arose from his bed and in attempting to walk down a steep flight of stairs he fell and fractured his skull. He was removed to St. Luke's hospital, where he was treated on Tuesday night. Mr. Waters was a resident of Tuskega Kas, where he was a wife and family. The wife reached the city during the week and attended her fortunate spouse during his fatal illness. The body was shipped back to Topeka for interment. "Uncle Jimmie" Waters has been in the dining car service of the Rock Island road for the past 32 years. He was as a father to the younger generation who entered this department of the road. His kind face won for him an acquaintance among the traveler public not possessed by any other colored employee of the Rock Island system; He never was a man to talk. In fact, it was laborious to engage him in a personal conversation. "Jimmie" Waters was a man to attend to his own business and whenever he was able to help a young man in the business he was ever willing to lend a hand. His ability as a cook was spread far and wide.

It has since leaked out, however, that Goodlow came to his death as the result of tortures and tormants at the hands of his white companions in an orgy for which one at least of the participants has come to regret the part he took. The affair was intended merely as a joke. Goodlow was accused of some imaginary crime, and the jokers proceeded to mete out to him the punishment which they pretened he so richly deserved. After ticing him with ropes and nailing his feet to a board, he was covered with wood, rags and shavings, and a kerosene rag placed near his nose so that he would get the smell, a bucket of water which the victim was informed was coal oil, was thrown over him, and preparations were made to apply the torch when the old man ceased his outcries. Then the jesting ceased. The jokers realized that their fun had been carried too far. They removed the wood and debris and began to untie the Negro. When it was discovered that he was dead he was carried quietly away and dumped in the corn crib, where he was found the next day. The tragedy was enacted in the neighborhood of what is known as the State Line saloon, the proprietor of which has disappeared from the neighborhood. This saloon it is said has been the resort of criminals from the Iowa side of the line for some time. The proprietor's name is Charles Reynolds, and he has gone by the nickname of "snowball." Goodlow was 61 years of age, and had lived in Hamburg for twenty-six years. He was an honest hard-working man, who had always provided well for his wife and six children. NICK CHILES GETS LETTER Topeka, Kan, April 25.—Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plain Dealer, in this city, today received a letter from the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry Del Val. The Western Negro Press association, of which Chiles is president, at its annual meeting adopted a resolution urging the pope to use his good offices for better treatment of the Negro race in this country. Mr. Chiles gave a copy of the resolution Senator Burton, who sent it to Cardinal Gibbons. The latter in turn forwarded it to Rome. The letter, which came through Cardinal Gibbons, says: "I have much pleasure in assuring you that his holiness has read the resolution with interest and sympathy, and I commissioned to thank you and all your associates very cordially in his name. The sovereing pontifex is well aware that there are many Catholics among the Negroas of the United States, and this knowledge increases his interest in the welfare of your race. His holiness, as the vicar of Christ, extends his loving care to every race without exception, and he must necessarily use his good office to urge all Catholics to be friendly to Negroes, who are called, no less than other men, to share in all the great benefits of the redemption. "The life and example of St. Peter Claver and so many other Catholic missionaries are there to shog that this is no new conception of the apostolate entrusted to the church of Christ. "Whilst frankly admitting that crimes may often be committed by members of the Negro race, his holiness advocates for them the justice granted to other men by the laws of the land and a treatment in keeping with the tenents of Christianity. "I am confident that these sentiments are shared by the vast majority of the great American people and by those who are responsible for the custody of the principles underlying the American constitution." A GOOD COACH Alexander Irwin, coach of the Northwestern Academy baseball team, has the distinction of being perhaps the only colored man in the country who is coach of a white baseball team. But Irwin understands his job thoroughly, and he is developing such a team that no question has ever been raised concerning his color. Irwin is 23 years of age, and has lived in Evanston since he was a small boy. He played second base on the Evanston High School baseball team, and has since played professional ball with the Chicago Unions, the Columbian Giants and the Algona, Iowa team. Next year he will go to Howard University at Washington, D. C., where he will have charge of the track, football and baseball teams. It will be remembered by those who attended any of the Chicago Union Giants and Algona Brownnes games, last summer, that Mr. Irwin was one of the best players, and did good work with the bat. LYNCHERS DESPISE LAW; MENACE TO GOVERNMENT [Special to The Record-Herald.] Birmingham, Ala., April 26.—"There is never an occasion when the resort to lynch law can be justified. However dark and dreadful the crime, punishment should be inflicted by due process of law. Every lyncher becomes a law-despiser, and every law-despiser is a betrayer of his country. The lynching spirit, unrestrained, increases in geometrical progression," Bishop Charles B. Galloway of the Southern Methodist church said this before the national educational conference tonight, speaking on the subject "The South and the Negro." The first duty of the colored race, Bishop Galloway said, was to guarantee the Negro equal protection under the law. "There should be no aristocracy in crime. We have reason for alarm at the phenomenal growth of the spirit of lawlessness. And it is not confined to any one section." The second duty was to insure the right of the Negro to education. Bishop Galloway said, in considering the Negro question, there was no disguising the fact that there is a great unrest among the Negroes of the South, one which will cause the South to face industrial disaster unless this condition is changed. He declared that politics furnished the difficulty and that for the best interests of both races the Negro question should be eliminated from local and national politics. As things that are settled, Bishop Galloway enumerated these: "In the South there will never be any social mingling of the races; they will worship in separate churches, and be educated in separate schools; the political power will remain in present hands; the great body of Negroes is here to stay." Suppress Negro schools, Bishop Galloway said, and the government could not survive. While results had been disappointing in part, the lesson taught was not to discontinue them, but to improve the standard of education. He refuted the statement that educated Negroes are the most Fine New Stock of Furniture and Carpets Everything Needed to Furnish Your Home Complete.

About 12 o'clock the guests began to depart for their homes, each declaring the hostess to be one of the most charming entertainers and hoping for Mrs. Lange to return to our city again soon. We clip the following from the daily Union: "UNCLE JIMMIE" WATERS. Veteran Colored Chef in Rock Island Dining Car Service Succumbs to Injuries. "Uncle Jimnie" Waters, one of the veteran colored cooks in the dining car service of the Rock Island road, is dead, as a result of injuries sustained a week ago. At that time he reached Davenport and went to his room in the boarding house kept by Mrs. Roberts at $322½ East Fourth street, and as he had been on the road for a long time he retired immediately. Waters was 50 years of age, and as he was almost exhausted by overwork he was restless, and during the night he arose from his bed and in attempting to walk down a steep flight of stairs he fell and fractured his skull. He was removed to St. Luke's hospital, where Mr. Waters was a Thursday night. Mr. Waters was a resident of Teshua Kas, where he was a wife and family. The wife reached the city during the week and attended her fortunate spouse during his fatal illness. The body was shipped back to Topeka for interment. "Uncle Jimmie" Waters has been in the dining car service of the Rock Island road for the past 32 years. He was as a father to the younger generation who entered this department of the road. His kind face won for him an acquaintance among the traveling public not possessed by any other colored employee of the Rock Island system; He never was a man to talk. In fact, it was laborious to engage him in a personal conversation. "Jimmie" Waters was a man to attend to his own business and whenever he was able to help a young man in the business he was ever willing to lend a hand. His ability as a cook was spread far and wide.

St. Petersburg, April. 28.—Disap- potniment prevaits in St. Petersburg that no official dispatches giving de {tails of the operations on the Yalu rlyer have yet heon made public. Presa dispatches are so meager as to bectoud rather than enlighten the people, who are hourly awaiting news. ‘Tho’ Associated Press has received from the general staff the following statement of the situation: “Before beginning the passage of tho Yalu, the Japaneso evidently com- pleted the concontration of the armies ‘Song the river, commanded by Gen. erals Kuroki and Oku, Each army is composed of three divisions and three reserve brigades. ‘The total force 1s 100,000, ‘Tho Russians on the Man- churlan bank are inferior in strength. “Having perfected the essenttai preparations, the Japanese, without waste of time, commonced the pass: age of the river and the Russians realized that {¢ would be Impossible to provent thelr crossing. The Japan: ‘ese front extended from Wiju as far as Plek Tong, over elghty miles. We faced the possibility that they would efoss at a score of places and all we could hope was to harass and impede the erossing, for every day gained en- abled us to push our preparations and bring up more men. “There are only {wo instances in history whero an army was unable to ‘ross @ river; that of Napoleon at As: pern and that of Prince Tugene of Savoy at Lech, Both failed because af flools. ‘The Yalu proved no excep tion to the established Tule. “We know that the Japanese cross- ed at leagt two polis. ‘Thelr first allempt to foreo 2 passage near Chand Che Kow, twenty miles above Wiju, near Siaopoussikhe, on the Pous: eikhe, a tributary of the Yalu, was a success, ‘This 1s Important, because a road lends from Sinopoussikhe northeast to Kwan Tien, which com- mands one of the roads to Mukden. “It is evident that the Japanese de- voted most of thelr attention to cross. ing near Wiju. ‘Th river here is dl vided into several channels by islands, the largest of which 1s Samaiindo, Above and below Wifu the Yalu was bridged at threo points. “Up the stream near Sindiagou the Japanese were watched by a small de- tachment of Cossacks, but the enemy was practically unopposed. At Tu- Texchen, lower down, our outposts al Feeted fire from a fteld plece so suc: cessfully that they destroyed the moorings and wrecked the pontoons. ‘The enemy was thrown Into disorder and suffered considerablo loss. Stil further down the stream the Japanese proceeded to make a third attempt at ‘erossing. We do not think the Japaneso wil attempt to land at Takushan or Ta: tung Kau, now that they have crossed the Yalu,’ The object of such landings has been to cause a diversion 80 as to enable the Japanese to cross the river Takushan is not a good strate: gle polnt, ‘The rond leading therefrom is bad and troops could only be sup- piled with great difficulty. “With regard to future operations, we eannot speak. The Russians will not show thelr hand at this stage, but will continually harass the enemy, choosing thelr own time for a battle.” ‘A millitary expert who is particular- ly Impressed with the crossing near Sinopoussikhho sald that the use of the road therefrom would enable the ene: my not only to march upon Mukden, ‘ut to outllank the Russian position at Fungwang and cut off any of General Rennenkampf's Cossacks who may have gone to join the attack on Gensen, TORNADO IN THE SOUTH.

It is generally recognized that Rear ‘Admiral Yeazen can not do more than frighten the Jaranese and compel them to exercise greater care in their movements, as the sinking of a few transports or even cruisers can have no permanent effect on the result. of the war. Moreover, he is bound by hig instructions not to risk his sips, Dut to keep them safe for an attack with the Baltic fleet when It arrives in the Pacitle.
