THE RICHMOND PLANET COL'D TROOPS BRAVERY IN THE PHILIPPINES. Fighting Uncle Sam's Battles. HISTORY OF A REGIMENT --- COLORED OFFICERS COMPLIMENTED. THE KILLING OF THE TROOPERS. Interesting Accounts: VOLXVII NO 32 COL'D TROOP Fighting On The Firing Line HISTORY OF OFFICE THE KILLE SAN FERNANDO DE LA UNION, June 12, 1900. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond PLANET; Sir: Allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words of the 48th Infantry, U. S. V. (colored) that is doing such brilliant work in the Philippines. I must say brilliant work for when regular army officers, day after day, send out circulars congratulating colored officers of the volunteer service, that is enough to tell the world that somebody is doing noble work. For it is well known that the white officers of the service are deadly opposed to Negro men wearing the bars. It matters not how soon the war will end (of course after the war is over the commission will be taken from the noble blanks as was done after the closure of the Spanish-American war) the Negro captains and lieutenants of the 48th are by their bravery and daring vindicating the race and stamping the lie to those rumors that the Negro makes poor officers and for Negroes to accomplish anything in battle must be commanded by white officers. PROUD OF THEIR OFFICERS. The men of our regiment are proud of our black officers and will follow them where ever they lead. Among the officers that had received particular praise for killing and capturing several insurgent chiefs are Capt. Buck of Co. L, Capt. Brown of Co. G, Capt. Hankins of Virginia, captain of Co. F; Lieuts. Brown, Cheek, Smith and several others whom I will mention in my next letter. Every battle that the 48th Infantry has been engaged in they have come out victorious. Not one defeat is credited against them. Although they have only been here on the northern line for 6 or 8 weeks, they have made some of the most important captures since the Philippine rebellion. OHIO'S CONTRIBUTION. One of the most popular officers is Capt. James W. Smith of Xenia, Ohio, commanding company D. Every command that has been given him since we have been in the enemy's country has been important ones. He has just returned from Sodipan, a small town among the mountains and the hot-bed of insurgents, and at times he was left to guard the place and stores with only about 85 men, but he performed his duty well and brought back every man he carried there. He is alyly assisted by 1st Lieut. J. H. Anderson of the Army and 2nd Lieut. G. W. Taylor of North Carolina. Lieut. Anderson is now Provost Marshall of this town. He succeeded Mej. Howard and is the first colored officer to hold the position in an important place as this. He also has been made Judge Advocate of every court martial since the mobilization of the regiment. Very truly yours, Corp'l WALTER E. MERCHANT, Co. D. 48th Int., U. S. V. SAN MARCALINA, P. I., May 81, 1900. (Staff Correspondence.) The week has been quite interesting as well as sad. 1st Serg't Gottorem Williams, company F, 25th Infantry, was shot and instantly killed by Corporal Nelson of the same company. It is reported the bullet passed through his body and struck a trumpeter, who was standing near. The action is sincerely regretted as is simply brings uncalled for notoriety on the regiment. The dead sergeant had been in the army for eleven years and was re- spected by all who knew him. He accompanied Lieut. James A. Moss on his long distant bicycle trip to St. Louis, Mo., 1898. His remains were interred in the church at Palawig, where the company is stationed, with military honors. Later, it will be removed to the land he so dearly loved. In the history of the regiment I forgot the non-commissioned staff which consists of, Anthony A. Marrow, Sergeant Major; Joseph Chapman, Quartermaster sergeant; Dalbert P. Green, Commissary sergeant; D.B. Sofranek. Chief Musician; John Morton, Principal Musician; Andrew J Smith, Drum Malius; Battalion Sergeant Majors, Jno. G. Miller, 2nd Battalion; Middleton W. Saddler, 1st Battalion. A band of ladrones attacked an humbre and his family in a bull cart. They were armed with bolos and one pistol. After boiling an hombre they skipped, and when K company went out they had just vamoosed. OUTWITTED HIM. Pvt. Joseph Woodfolk, while on guard at Castelllejos was given two insurgent prisoners to work them on the field cutting bamboo for exercise. He was told to allow them to go where they wanted to. Complying with orders, he allowed them to wander out in the field. They stopped and began cutting bamboo. They had been out about fifteen minutes when Woodfolk noticed three nombres pass in front of him. His attention was attracted in the rear by rustling. He turned to see what caused it; just as he got his head turned he was met with a bolo on the forehead, erased by the blow he raised his rifle and struck at the hombre, who, owing to his closeness smatched the rifles and ran. The prisoners threw their bolos and ran as also as fast their legs could carry them. Woodfolk came in and reported. Search was immediately given, but in vain. Woodfolk was painfully, but not seriously wounded. The cut is on the left side of the forehead and ranges from the eye upward. Lieut. Decee visited the scene and decided that it was due to Woodfolk's carelessness. Joseph Woodfolk is said to be one of the best soldiers in the company and never had any previous trouble. Lieut. Bates is again back to the company. One battalion headquarters are now in San Felipe. Minor Arnold, company M, 25th Infantry, who shot and killed a natives woman at Magaland in January was reported to have received a life sentence. STAFF CORRESPONDENT SAN FERNANDO DE LA UNION, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, June 15, 1900 Ist Lieut. Lewis M. Smith with a detachment of Co. "I" captured yesterday the chief of Igorrotees Insurectos and Emelo Agumaldo right hand friend after being wounded three times he turned and to Lieut. Smith surrendered together with 20 others, left wounded and dead upon the field about 20; with no loss to our men. Special attention is called to the gallantry and coacility of Carporal Daniel Lee in the way he led his men, captured 25 rifles and bolos, 6 ponies and saddles with about 360 rounds of ammunition. This part of the island has become more civilized since the colored troops have been here. Now, the men are comfortably quartered in barracks and one company can hold a town. Last night orders received from Major Day to forward immediately one company to him at Namapake as there was a small outbreak RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY JULY 28. 1900. there only and was expecting a heavy one before morning. THE ORDERS ORKYED. Orders received at 11:30 P.M., "K-Go, under command of Captain John J. Oliver marched 11:30 to the scene. Remember this company had just arrived in yesterday morning after carrying a heavy hike covering the distance of about 600 miles over mountains and forges rivers and asleeping out on the mountain top or in the valley all nights with wet clothing on and yet there is no complaint of any sickness among the men, and last night they marched the distance of 22 miles to search Nanjacka, before day, (a soldier's life is a hard life in the Philippines) and there was not a mumbling word uttered by the men for they are bloodthirsty as it seems. CAPTAIN HANKINS' BRAVERY. A. Virginia Hero, Capt. Wm. A. Hankins took the town of San Francisco de Cruzu with his noble Co. F, and is holding his own. He captured the ity and an immense quantity of ammunition with a large number of rifles and bolos. He (Captain Hankine) was complimented very highly for his gallant work, bravery and coolness in line of battle. For the time that it has been up this line, the 48th, has won the honor of having done more service without losing any more men than she has, than any other regiment upon the Island in line of battle on the North line where we are now. She has only lost one captain and two privates. What regiment in the services has such a record? It is a record that we all have a right to be proud of and most especially our beys from Virgin-ia. Lieut. Herbert E. Lee is sick in the Regimental Hospital at San Fernando De La Union. Now, our rainy season has set in for 4 months and we will have mud to wade as well as streams to forge. PLENTY TO EAT. We get a plenty to eat, if not, here are plenty of chickens and pigs, and we very often pick them up when our rations give out on the road, and nothing is said and in case there is any talk about it our rifles will have that to do. Here is a small incident of myself and what I had to do since I have been here on this island. I was out on a long hike (49 miles) with my 2nd platoon and our rations gave out and we became hungry and weak; so I said to my boys that we must have something stronger to live on than pineapples and cocoanuts, bananas and mangoes, so I to d them that there were some pigs out in the rice paddies and we must have them, so I commanded charge and they obeyed and we caught 6 of them and started to cook them but they did not have the time to get done before there were only bones to be seen around (why it was nice?) He was in the thing, especially when starvation is starting him in the face out on a hike 49 miles from camp, and your rations give out. I will write you more after I rejoin my company. Yours, Wm. H. Cox, Co I. 48th Infty. U. S. History of the 25th United States Infantry. This fighting representation of Uncle Sam's Army dates its organization back to the sixties, when it was organized under the Act of July 28, 1866, as the 89th Regiment of Infantry, and reorganized April 26, 1869, under the Act of March 8, 1869 by consolidation with the 40th U. S. Infantry. The now much loved commanding general Nelson A. Miles was colonel of the 40th and many of the old soldiers who are now non-commissioned officers cherish warrants signed by that ever famous commander as their colonel. Among the most noted is Sergeant William Smith, who retired after serving 33 years in the regiment in companies D, B, and K, respectively. The only names eligible on the warrant are those of Nelson A. Miles and William Smith. Sergt. Smith, who is past 50 is active and vigorous and resides in Washington, D. C., with mother. The regiment has seen hard and vigorous service on the frontier doing considerable duty in the yet turbulent Coeur de Alene District of Idaho, and the older miners will now refer with chagrin to their campaign among them. On one occasion Capt. Sanborn was sent to Wardner with companies B, F, G, H and K, a detachment under Lieut. McMartin and Corporal G. W. Smith of G company (now Sergeant L) to close up all saloons. One saloon which had always been no. ad for being bad was visited and the order read The loungers attempted to interfere, attempting to bring their rifles into play, but they were quickly knocked down and placed under arrest as a result. No more trouble was experienced in Coeur de Alene. In 1890 companies I and K were disbanded, owing to a reduction in the army. In 1891, the outlaws had been very bad in northern Montana and the regiment took terms at lying in the neighborhood, trying to catch them, but could not. Finally, Captain Sanborn was sent with company G to take their turn. Owing to information obtained from unknown sources Captain Sanborn decided to send Sergeant Smith around the trail alone. The sergeant was disguised as a citizen, in fact, he was. He had been shortly discharged and b d not reenlisted. He obtained a horse and securing the leading three outlaws pictures, started on his perilous journey around Lake _____ When about halfway he secured the pictures in his leggins pushed on. He had hardly taken this precaution when he was suddenly greeted with the outlaws most familiar greeting, "Hands up." Complying with the request he jumped down from the saddle. The outlaws searched him and finding nothing suspicious, allowed him to pass. A NARBCW ESCAPE. Strange to say these pictures were those of fate. Had the sergeant not hidden them they would have been found on his person and he killed and thrown into the lake below. His fate would have been settled, but as he hid them, he escaped and sealed the outlaws' fate. After this Sergt. Smith proceeded on and in due time joined his company. A few days later, Lieut. J. O. Greene with Sergt. Smith as guide and a detachment of (10) ten men started to get these terrors. They were located a short distance from where the sergeant had found them and were immediately surrounded. They were commanded to throw up their hands. Secured and bound their chagrin knew no bounds, for they recognised in the innocent, penniless fugitive from justice of a few days before as the sergeant who had caused the end of their bloody career. At their execution their leader, Peter Paul said, "All I want to do is to kill that sergeant." But it was a go, and the inhabitants of Northern Montana could live in peace, owing to the efforts of Sergeant G. W. Smith and the 25th Infantry in April 22, 1892. Col. George L. Andrews retired near the 28th anniversary of the regiment, Lieut. Col. Andrew S. Burt, 17th Infantry, succeeded to the colonysey. Since then the regiment has had no trouble with the enemy. The bicycle team which made several long distance runs is well known to the sporting fraternity as well as the base ball and athletic teams. THE RECORD TAKEN. In Jan. '98, a record taken showed the 25th Infantry to consist of 8 companies, stationed as follows: Headquarters, band and companies B, F, G and H, Fort Missoula, Mont; A and D, Fort Harrison, Helena, Mont, and C and E, Fort Assiniboine, Mont. On April 10th, the regiment left its various stations and proceeded to St. Paul, Minn., enroute to Dry Tortugas, Fl., but the station was later changed to Chickamauga Park, Georgia. To share the esteem in which the regiment was held the following incident is told as taken from a Montana paper: As the train carrying the headquarters of the 25th Infantry left the station at Missoula it looked as if the whole Bitter Root valley was shedding tears and many were the hand-shakings as the dusky boys in blue pulled away to war." Along the line the decorated trains were cheered to the echo. The regiment arrived at Chickamanga on April 14th and was the first regiment in the park. The stay there was very short and on May 28th pulled out for Tampa, Fla. The camp life in Floriana was very pleasant. On June 7th, they boarded the transports Oconcha, No. 14, remained in the harbor until June 14th and joined the general convoy, arriving in Cuba on June 24, and landed under fire. Considered the difficult times experienced in landing at Siboney, swing to high surf, and Corporal H. A. Will- (Continued on 8th Page.) THE LADIES' EFFORTS Many New Laws - The Outlook Brighter. The Grand Court of Virginia, I. O. of Calanhe met at True Reformers' Hall, Lyn hburg, Va., July 17, 18, 18, under most favorable surroundings. The G. W.

The Grand Court then had recess until 6:30 while the Grand Lodge paraded the principal streets, headley by a flue band and followed by the G. W. C., Mr John Mitchell, Jr., and his staff mounted on horses. It was the unanimous opinion of the citizens that was the most magnificent parade ever seen in the "Hill City." The Grand Court reconvened at 6:30 with Mrs. Kace Thomas G. W. Inspectrix presiding. After hearing reports of the various committees G. W. Coun seller read his report for the two years' work. It was a masterly production and a complete review of the work in the various Departments and showed the most rapid and wonderful progress along various lines ever made by any society in the same space of time. The recommendations contained in his report for the good of the Order in the different branches of the work were heartily endorsed and unanimously adopted as laws for the Virginia Grand Court. THE FINANCIAL REPORT. The G. W. Receiver of Deposits read her report which showed that over three thousand dollars had been deposited during the two years whereas only $22.70 were the total collection for 1898. The G. W. R. of Deeds read her report which showed 11 new Courts, 537 new members since last, we met. Although, the regular sessions were in the afternoon, much of the most important part of the work was handled and prepared by various committees, who deserved to be highly complimented, as their reports were so complete and concise that it saved much time and sided the Grand Court work. MANY NEW LAWS. Many new laws were enacted that were found necessary for protection and extending the welfare of the Courts of Calanthe. Among them: 1. The Regalia must be purchased from the Regalia Department or the Courts be fined. 2. Every Court must send a delegate unless her treasury has less than $55 therein. This was adopted because some Courts financially able send only letters. 3. A public meeting or demonstration of some kind where the principles and ben fits of our Order can be explained to the general public in the city wherein we meet in Annual Session. The Grand Court unanimously adopted the Business Scheme of Richmond and invested $500 therein. A committee of three composed of Mrs. Mary N. Gay of Norfolk, Mrs. Martha Johnson of Richmond and Mrs. Annie B. Claiborne were appointed to look out for the interests of the Order in the Business Department. Sister Anna Taylor was voted $25 as a token of their appreciation of her faithful services to the order. THE JOINT MEMORIAL. Joint memorial services were held Wednesday afternoon in honor of the deceased members of the Courts and the Lodges. All of the officers were re-elected who were present, Mrs. Annie B. Claiborne of Danville was elected G. W. Orator in place of Mrs. Elizabeth Whidbee who was absent. The officers were installed by the G. W. Counselor. T. G. C. Degree was also conferred upon E. R. E. Jefferson Richmond, Va., Dr. Wm. Troy ofmouth, Mm. Dr. W. A. Millner of Danville Mr. J. D Byrd, Newport News, they being found worthy of that distinction. With unanimous opinion that this was the best session yet held, that much good will result, and a hearty vote of thanks to the citizens of Lynch burg for courtesies and hospitalities shown, the Grand Court adjourned to meet in Portsmouth, Va., May 1901.

PRICE 5 CENTS Made Effort to Save Him Troops Too Late-A Sheriff's Bravery. A Disgrace to the State. HUNTSVILLE, ALA., July 23.—Elijah Clark, the colored man who yesterday assaulted Miss Susan Priest, a thirteen-year-old girl, was taken from the jail in this city this evening and lynched near the spot where his crime was committed. His body was riddled with bullets. Sheriff Fulgham defended his prisoner to the last, but a dense smoke, from a combination of tar, feathers and oil, fired by the crazy mob, was too much for him, and he was dragged from the jail and placed under a physician's care. William Vining, an employee of the street railway company, who attempted to rush through the crowd and up the jail steps was shot and dangerously wounded. A crowd of 150 men, principally employees of the big cotton mills at Dallas, a suburb of this city, searched the woods all night for Clark, who was identified at the time he assaulted Miss Priest by her little sister. No success attended their efforts, and early this morning Sheriff Fulgham started out with a possse, and before 8 o'clock had captured Clark on Beaver Dam Creek, ten miles from Huntsville. He soon landed in jail, and by 1 o'clock of the prisoner's capture was heralded as the parts of the city. A mob composed of operatives and men of all callings was soon formed and marched to the jail, where they stood for a time apparently waiting for a leader. APPEALED TO GOVERNOR Sheriff Fulgham, seeing that he had a desperate crowd to combat, wired Gov. Johnston the facts in the case. The Governor responded to the effect that he had ordered the militia at Birmingham, Montgomery, and Decatur to proceed with all haste to the scene. The Sheriff then telephoned Judge S. M. Stewart and asked for an immediate trial of the colored man and the judge replied soon after that he had arranged for a special session of court at 8 o'clock before Judge H. O. Speake. The mob by this time had assumed alarming proportions, and the sheriff, thinking to quiet the storm, appeared at a window and announced that a special train had been arranged for the prisoner, and that he would be brought before the court at 8 o'clock in the afternoon. This was greeted with jeers by the crowd of citizens and cry "Revenge" went up. The outer door to the jail, a wooden barrier, was soon battered down, and the mob gained entrance to the first floor. Here they encountered the sheriff's wife, who pleaded with them to refrain from violence and let the law take its course. Sheriff Fulgham, however, on hearing the door being forced, retreated with his prisoner to the third floor, where he looked himself in with Olark. The mob then stopped to devise ways and means of securing the prisoner without doing harm to the sheriff, who is a great favorite here. A dozen times the sheriff, as he appeared at the window waving his hands to the mob to go away, could have been shot, but the lushers chose strategy as the most effective way out of the difficulty. COMPELLED TO RETREAT A large amount of tar, feathers, and oil was see red and piled upon the cement floor of the jail and a match applied. A suffocating smoke arose and spread quickly throughout the jail. The sheriff again retreated to the corner farthest from the odoriferous pile, taking his prisoner with him. More tar and feathers were brought in and ignited. The sheriff was seen to disappear from the window and the mob waited. He did not reappear, and Chief of Police David Overton broke through the crowd and ran up the stairs through the blinding and suffocating smoke. Reaching the third floor, he found Sheriff Fulgham in a semi-conscious condition. The sheriff was dragged to a window, where the air partially revived him. "Come out of here, Fulgham; you will be suffocated," said the chief. "No Dave." feebly responded Fulgham, "I will stay here. I will die doing my duty." Without further words the chief of police dragged the half-conscious man from his perilous position and down the two flights of stairs into the street. The sheriff's departure was the signal for the mob to proceed to their oa Re eA s Ei aep 35 SY 4 ‘ BRD ahvosenaa SI eS igh ANN 5 se aes WA 35, es EZ SATURDAY, JULY 28 1906 TUBNING NE EARIEG orn ‘Women sho’ ts cur'ous critters, an’ dey ain't £9 doubtin’ dat, he's a mens of funny capahs Com huh silypahs to hub hat.

A party of four were talking around a table on which sat a bottle or two with their accompanying glasses, and there was a blue haze of smoke in the room. “For a number of years," he said, taking the lead in the conversation, “there has been in my mind a question which bas remained unsettled, and I am going to submit it to you for ad- \justment, as it were. have been hap- plly married for ten years, and my wife ie a woman of excellent judgment and good sense, but I have refrained from submitting the question to her for rea- sons which will appear when you have heard the story.

Now you would suppose that a girl would not acceft a man until she knew ‘Something more about him, and par ticularly that she would not when he was only a hundred miles away and could come in person and make his Proposal, but I'll be blamed if she did- n't. She did it with a whirl, too, thas almost made me dizzy. Texplained that I could not come, as my friend—mean- ing myself—would suspect zomething, and it would not do to offend him until we knew exactly how we stood. She felt just as I did about it, she said, and the only way to dispose of me was to spring it on me and have it over all at lonce. “The evening of the day on which I received her letter of acceptance, so to speak, I called on her, as I did every night nearly, and incidentally I men- tioned Hart—who, by the way, had never seen any of the letters she had written—and shes aid, with a coquet- tish ttle smile, that she didn’t under stand why he had never come to see her again, because she liked him, and be- Yeved he liked her. I told her I had asked him asa special favor not to some becouse I was afraid of him, and she chaffed me and said I was a ‘jeal- (Ot Old thing,’ and that if I kept peo- ple away as I was keeping Mr. Hart, whe nefer would know anybody and a Whole lot more of the same sort. “When I left ber that might we fixed |the wedding for four weeks from then, which would make it on the isth of ‘June. The next morning I sent her « jletter saying that I understood my itriend—meaning myself—would be out of town over the following Sunday, jand I would come over on the morn- \ing train, arriving at noon, and would eall at two o'clock and we would ar Tange for anelopement, as thatseemed ito be the only way to get rid of the ‘old man'—meaning myself. I also told her to wire me Saturday evening let. ting me know if my friend—meaning “mynelf—had gone as he thought of do- ing. “That evening being Friday, I called as usual, and informed igr that I was called out of town and would be gone from Saturday evening until Monday noon, and would probably meet Mr. ‘Hart, as he was expected to come down from his town on a matter of business in which we were both interested. I told her I would be gind to deliver any’ message ghe might like to send; but sbe sald Mr Hart had neglected her shamefully and -she-hadn’t any mes- sage to send to him, and what was more she never expected te see him again. She showed somtg little anxiety when Ispoke of expecting to meet Hart, but it was so slight as to have escaped the wotice of any ordinary observer. Saturday afternoon we took a walk, ending at the station at five o'clock, when she saw me off. I tgld her good: by so seriously that she laughed at-me and said I was saying it an if J never expected to sce her again, and then, by Jove, I kissed her and wrung her hand again. You must know that I was not entirely without feeling. “I staid on the train till seven o'clock and got off nt a junction to wait for a train that. would get me back home about 11 o'clock. I kept to my room ext morning, sending the hotel boy to the post office at noon for my mail, in which I reeeived from Hart the telegram which he lad received the evening before, Itread: ‘Coast clear, expect you to-morrow,’ and signed with my own name, a little subterfuge, as Hart explained to me, to throw the telegraph operator off of any suspicion. At two o'clock I was at the front. door, and, as is the custom in smaller towne, she opened it for me herself. That she was startled by my presence was plain tobe seen. “‘Oh,’ she gasped, ‘I thought— “Yes, [know you did," I interrupted her. ‘You thought it was Mr. Hart. You are not mistaken: Iam. Mr. Hart. Here is your telegram to me,’ and I handed it opened to her. “She gazed at me for a-fall minute, a dozen contending emotions plainly visible in her face, as*the scheme un- folded itself to her, and then her lips tightened across her teeth ax she fairly hissed at me: “You contemptible cur! “She slammed the door in mg face.

A lady viewing the cats, learned that this doleful feline was from France, and she called to it in its native tongue. Instantly the little creature raised its head and came eagerly forward. Then, as the Indy continued to talk to it in French, the eat began to purr and walked up and down, rubbing against the wires with the most evident delight. Presently a crowd gathered and the lady with- drew. When she returned the cat was agein disconsolate, and again she cheered him up with his native tongue. By this time the news had spread, ond several other people who could speak French began to talk to the little foreigner. When the lady left he was perfectly happy under the impression that he was once more st home in France. Let us hope he was bought by some one who could speak French.—Golden Days.

Uncle Jeremiah used to wear the hair off the top of his head trying to evolve some scheme whereby folk and cattle could get along, prosper and get fat without consuming food. “I tell. you,” he has been. known to say, “this here eating Is a good deal of a habit. If a man or a cow could get out of the habit once—break it off like ‘a feller quits chawing terbacco or stops drinking rum—why, he'd never want no mere food.” This thought led up to much experi- menting on his part. - “It's all imagination,” he suid. “Now, if a cow just thinks she’s eating it will : eta Dy " Ode OS fae ee ee ee ee Ce do ax well as if she was spoiling a lot of meadow hay or consuming a bundle of cornstalks.” So he put green spectacles on his cows and set, them out a mess of shav- ings, They thought it was grass and ate it all right,"but pretty soon the people who patronized his dairy com- plained that he puts his milk in wood- en pails, because it mace them think of the earpenter. ‘Then Uncle Jeremiah thought long and deeply. “Gosh all fish-hooks:” said he, “they say that hens will eat anything. I'll try # on the hens.” So he mixed up a big bow! of saw- dust and water. The hena gobbled the stuff up quicker than he could throw it-out to them, and after a week's trial they'seemed to get fat on it. Those hens had never laid so. many eggs before in all their lives. Uncle Jeremiah was wild with delight. “By gum!” said he, “Iam going to set some of those eggs.” Andi he did. He took one fat hen that had the setting habit on her mind and put a Jayer of eggs beneath her. She did her duty and in the due process of time brought forth abrood.

Go stand where the peaks in their majesty glow And the sun ever shines on their garments of snow, Go watch the dark waters that ceaselessly roll And whisper the tale of the far-away Pole; Aye, stand for a time 'neath the pitiless sky Where the ships of the Arctic drift, ice-laden, by; What is that waving free on the cold, cutting air? 'Tis a banner of beauty - Old Glory is there! Go South where the Sun in his majesty shines On the gold of the orange, the green of the pines; Where the clear water run through a summer-clad land; And islands of light in the deep lie impear'd; Yes, stand on the shore 'neath a tropical sky Where the fleets of all nations salmily by; What catches the eye, like a bird in the air? 'Tis a banner of splendor - Old Glory is there!

Where the breakers are washed by Atlantic's bold tide It floats in its beauty, it waves in its pride; It is worshiped in peace, it is matchless in wars.

C. Harbaugh, in Ledger Monthly. Broke in San Francisco ONE of these rainy evenings I'm I'm going to sit down and write the first few chapters of that book I've had in mind for a long time past — "Towns I've Been Broke In" said a Washington man who's now a pretty sedate and prosperous citizen. "The information that I've picked up at first hand on this general topic ought to make pretty readable and instructive information. I've been broke all the way from here to Shanghai and back; not for very long pervious at a stretch, it is true, but flatly and unqualifiedly broke, without much of an apparent chance of winning out, at that; and I think I could put down a pretty accurate tabulation of the hardest towns on the globe in which to be broke. There are a lot of mean towns in the United States for a man to go broke in. Oddly enough, when you consider what a mean town New York is in most other respects, I never found it as bad as a lot of other ones when it came to the matter of going broke. I always found something doing over there when things got right down to bed rock. Chicago an adamant proposition, though—real flint for a man who's broke. Philadelphia's pretty frosty; a man hasn't got much of a show if he's broke in New Orleans; St. Louis is grueling into the soul of the broke man; but for real cragginess and hopelessness and now-outness just you try going broke in San Francisco once and see how near you'll get to jumping off the dock! "The reason why San Francisco's such a bad job when it comes to going broke there is that it's so hard to break away from the place. You see, that bunch of mountains between 'Frisco and the Mississippi river is there to stay. You can't walk over 'em, either. It's a case of ride when you want to leave San Francisco, and it's a case, likewise, of paying for your ride. If you don't happen to have the little pasteboard when the conductor comes around and looks you in the eye off you go, and you're pretty liable to go off in a nest of cacti or a patch of sagebrush or a bit of a desert, just about 272 miles from nowhere at all. The conductor doesn't care for your sensibilities at all. Conductors who run over-the-mountains-and-deserts trains from San Francisco are real cruel, heartless persons, so they are. They don't mind it in the least if they have to pass by your bleaching bones on their trains 365 days in the year. They're calloused to all that. You can generally stow away on one of the Panama boats, but then you're ditched when you get down to the isthmus, and it's pretty hard to stow away on one of the up boats on the eastern side of the isthmus. I ought to know, but that's another story. "The last time I found myself broke in San Francisco was about 12 years ago. I don't think I was ever broke worse in my life. Everything I'd possessed that the man behind the counter of a three-ball house would so much as look at passed into his possession without any parley whatsoever as to terms, and there came an evening when I walked along Kearney street with nothing between me and the large wide Pacific as a narrow tran an awrun. weird hankering to continue right on living—and eating, could I only find some place to eat! It was a raw, chilly evening, a characteristic San Francisco evening, for 'the glorious climate of California' doesn't include San Francisco, which has the tankest, clamiest chilliest, foggiest climate south of Labrador. I had a pretty good front left and a mastodonic appetite. I hadn't had a thing to eat that day. I walked around all day trying to get a job, without making it stick. San Francisco has more restaurants than any city of its size on this continent, and good eating's cheaper there than in any other American city. The restaurants certainly did look warm and bright and glowing to me that evening. But I didn't have a red, and they weren't for me. "I walked around aimlessly until I passed by the Palace hotel. I looked into the brilliant cafe of the Palace and saw chaps lolling back in their places, the glow of the candies in their faces and the leaves from the cut flowers falling gently to the tablecloths. I pulled myself up suddenly and thought. "I think," said I to myself, 'that I shall take dinner this evening inside here. The Palace is good enough for me." "So I walked into the cafe of the Palace. I objected to several places the head waiter picked out for me, thereby showing that haughty personage that I knew what was what and gaining his respect from the jump. I told him that I wanted the right kind of a waiter—no laggarus or clumsy yokels—and he picked out the best man on his staff and sent him to me. "I went through that. Palace cafe menu from soup to nuts, and there weren't any wines on the card that suited me. That is, I intimated to the head waiter, after trying all of the wines, that they didn't precisely strike my palate. "I'll be within the shelter of the Five Courts in something under half an hour," I reflected, with great complaisance, when I had ordered the waiter to bring me three of the best Reina Victorias in the house for a dollar, and had just finished up the last pint of champagne, and stood ready for the cognac and coffee, but I was liable to've turned up there sooner or later, anyhow, and the Five Courts is a good old sort of a jail to strike with a replete stomach." "The waiter brought me my cognac and coffee and cigars, and I lit one of the Reinas and started in to smoke peacefully. "I suppose it'll get into the papers," I mused, "about the chap with the iron nerve who walked into the Palace cafe and consumed about $23 worth of solids and wet things, and then complaisantly admitted his inability to liquidate therefor—but the papers have got to have some old thing to write about, haven't they?" "I was pursuing this line of thought FROM SOUTH TO FISH with all the ease in life, my waiter meanwhile standing at a respectful distance, waiting for me to ask for my check and toss him a couple-dollar bill, when I noticed a man with a vandyke seated at a table about 30 feet to my right, gazing pretty hard at me. He looked and looked and looked at me. "That fellow's probably the house detective,' I thought, 'and he has tumbled to the fact that I'm about to swing the house for some $23 worth of vials and drinkables. Let him detect, however! It doesn't make any difference to me whether I'm yanked to the Five Courts by a hotel detective or a-" "While I was pursuing this line of things, however, the man who had been gazing at me so hard got up from his table and walked over to me. His face gradually lighted up as he came closer to me, and it was one broad grin when he held out his hand to me and said: 'Hello, Jim!' "I knew him then right away. He was a chap I'd known back in Buffalo a number of years before. I'd gone on his note at that time for $200 when he got mixed up in a tangle with his books on account of gambling, and he'd jumped Buffalo without ever making the note good, so that I had to do it myself. I'd always felt pretty sore on him for that job, and I had it in mind for a number of years to do things to him if ever I met him again. "I received him with calm cordiality, however, and he immediately began to explain to me about that note for $300, while he looked sheepish. Said that only a year before he mailed a check for the amount to me, and that it had come back to him as of course, I'd moved away from Buffalo. He was having all kinds of prosperity on the slope, he said, and asked me how they were coming for me. Never better, I told him, and then he reached into his breast pocket, pulled out his wallet and handed me two nice, clean $100 notes, fresh and crisp from the subtreasury. "That, however, was bullhead luck; for of all tough propositions in the way of a town to be broke in, just commend me to San Francisco, that's all!"—Washington Star. Queen, Isn't it? No matter how hard times are, employees of mints manage to make money. Chicago Daily News. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The Reign of Lawlessness GREENROOM GOSSIP San Francisco had a stage version of "Sapho" over ten years ago. Mrs. McKee Rankin played the title part and the convict lover killed the siren. Scene painting has become something of a high art in London. In a recent dramatic production three scenes painted by two London women of fine artistic talents were given lengthy notices by the art critics. During the reconstruction of the old Johanniskirehe, at Leipisc, the burial place of Bach was discovered. Bach was organist at this church, and his body is to be reinterred with great solemnity in a sarcophagus in the same edifice. Incidental to the ceremony will be the unveiling of a statue of the master in front of the church. The Norwegians have a national hymn which hitherto has been looked upon as the work of a native composer, Richard Nordraack. A Norwegian iconoclast, however, recently has pointed out the fact that it corresponds note for note with the Largo Cantabile movement in Haydn's fourteenth string quartette. A triple musical monument is to be erected in Berlin to the memories of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, after the style of the Schiller-Goethe-Chamisso memorial. It will be placed in the Thiergarten, Berlin's principal park, the city government already having provided $2,500 towards the $5,000 fund required. A curious sort of a lawsuit is in progress in Vienna. Fourteen music critics of that city have brought suit for defamation of character against a well-known concert manager. It seems that some time ago a foreign singer went to Vienna and engaged this manager to get up a concert for her. Among other things he asked of her several hundred florins with which to soften the souls of the critics. She supplied the money, and then told a friend about it, with the result that a scandal followed. COSTLIEST THINGS ON RECORD The costliest toy on record was a broken-nosed wooden horse which belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte and was sold a year or two ago for 1,000 franes. The costliest cigars ever brought to this country were of the brand made for the prince of Wales in Havana, the manufacturer's price for which was $1.87 apiece. The largest sum ever asked or offered for a single diamond is £430,000, which the nizam of Hyderabad agreed to give to Mr. Jacebs, the famous jeweler of Simla, for the "imperial" diamond, which is considered the finest stone in the world. The costliest mats in the world are owned by the shah of Persia and the aultan of Turkey. The shah and the aultan each possesses a mat made of pearls and diamonds, valued at over $2,500,000. The largestmat ever made is owned by the Carlton club of London and is a work of art. The costliest meal ever served, according to history, was a supper given to Aelius Verus, one of the most lavish of all the Romans of the latter days, to a dozen guests. The cost was 6,000 restertia, which would amount to £48,500, or nearly a quarter of a million dollars. A celebrated feast given by Vitellius, a Roman emperor of those days, to his brother Lucius, cost more than $200,000. Suetonius says that the banquet consisted of 2,000 different dishes of fish, and 7,00 different fowls, besides other courses. SCROOL PEOPLE AND AFFAIRS. Li Hung Chang's son, Lee, has passed his entrance examinations to Harvard with honors in Greek, Latin and English. Two professors of the University of Leipsi—Helnze and Wundt—recently celebrated their twenty-fifth jubilee as professors, and both of them left the city to escape ceremonies and congratulations. Talk of introducing a course of instruction in agriculture in colleges is being ridiculed by western newspapers, one of which declares that "the average Kansas boy or girl knows more about practical farming than the average college professor could find out in ten years." Between 1820 and 1897, 119 women obtained degrees from Italian universities. Of these 64 were graduated in arts, 15 in physical science, 14 in mathematics, seven in philosophy, four in law and 15 in medicine. Last year the number of women students at the several universities was 261. The new courses in higher commercial education and public administration just organized at the University of Michigan include instruction in history, constitutional law, politics, political economy, finance, sociology, statistics, international law, administrative and municipal law, general and commercial law, Roman law and Roman institutions. THE TOILET. Gloves should be worn when engaged in any work that is likely to soil the hands. Extreme care should be taken not to bruise the nails when pushing back the flesh from the roots. An excellent cure for brittle nails is to soak them daily for a few minutes in blood warm sweet oil. For whitening the hands nothing is better than wearing gloves all night, first anointing the hands with a little sweet oil. Lotion for massaging the Face.—Put into a clean bottle two ounces glycerine, one ounce rosewater, half an ounce eau-de-cologne, quarter of an ounce bergamot, and two ounces olive oil. Well shake before using, and massage a little well in, night and morning, after washing.—Good Literature. It Looks Suspicious "I believe you have been secretly married to young Mr. Noodle," cried the irate father.

SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1900 The National Baptist Convention will meet with a hearty reception in Richmond. The people are preparing to receive it with open arms and a pristine demonstration of the warmth of old Virginia hospitality will be made known to all the land. Let every lover of the cause grally and give the brethren a royal welcome. THE action of President McKINLEY in agreeing to act as mediator between China and the Powers, provided certain contingencies arise and agreements compiled with, is the shrewdest diplomatic stroke as yet made by the administration. It is a most fortunate conclusion of a most embarrassing difficulty, permitting as it does the honorable withdrawal of troops from China. It will tend to strengthen Mr. McKINLEY in his campaign, and will cause the retention of thousands of votes which otherwise might have, been cast for his brilliant rival. IN NORTH CAROLINA THE situation in North Carolina is remarkable. That state no longer pretends to have a Republican form of government. Mobs seem at will, the laws are ignored and innocent persons punished. Red-shirt brigades are seen in nearly every section of the state and the declaration that colored men shall not exercise the right of franchise is made. News now comes that Senator MARION EUTLER has been threatened with violence, and that his life would be taken should he pass through Wilmington, N. O.; enroute to a place where he is booked to speak. He is a white man and a Populist. Thus the methods which have been resorted to, in order to intimidate colored men, are being used in order to frighten white ones. We dare say that the conditions which are alleged to exist in OHINA do not surpass in atrocity those which are actually taking place in North Carolina. Wilmington, the scene of the revelation is now the storm centre of the effort to overturn popular government. The Unconstitutional "Constitutional" Convention propositions will be ratified by force and punctuated by fraud. In this these blood-thirsty white men think they see an end of their troubles. They thought so in Louisiana, and in Mississippi and in South Carolina; but, as a matter of fact, the last condition is worse than the first. Every colored man should own a shot-gun and a repeating rifle. He should be poite and obliging, yet ready to defend his home, and protest his wife and little ones against all comers. He should save his money, engage in business, and do as little talking as possible. With white men who are friendly to him, he should be friendly. With those who hate him, he should have no dealing. By persistent effort, and Godly conduct, we can offset all of these extreme measures in dealing with us. The Red-Shirts of North Carolina can ride on. They can nullify their own laws. They can injure the communities in which they live; but the colored men, strong in righteousness and brave in conduct intend to yield up no rights save by force, and to accept no mandates other than those which we cannot avoid. On with the murders in North Carolina! On with the desecration of the ballot boxes in the other states! The worst done will not deter us in our efforts, and nothing save death will check us in our march to material prosperity. Ignored Them. [Cleveland, O., Gazette.] There were five Afro-American members of the McKinley notification committee, of which Senator Hanna, chairman of the national republican committee, was the head. The members met in this city last week and proceeded to Canton, "where the deed was done." One of our members of the committee suggested to the senator that at least one of the colored members be permitted to say something to the president at Canton, especially since there would be a member of speakers, and also insisted that an Afro-American be placed upon the national republican executive committee. In line with the treatment of our people during the past four years including the recent national republican convention at Philadelphia, the suggestions were ignored. What is worse, and more of it, while the white members of the committee were being otherwise entertained in this city on last week, Thursday night, a "Jim Crow" dinner was being given at the Hollenden Hotel for the "colored brother" members of the notification committee and a few local Negroes who bolted the republican ticket last fall, opposing a regularly nominated candidate on the same. FROM NEWPORT, B. I. NEWPORT, R. I., July 23, 1900. Sunday was a beautiful day, only it was very hot. We are having some very hot weather now, and it is very dry and dusty. Everybody is praying for rain, while all the grass and vegetables are dying for want of rain. Sunday being rally day at the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, quite a crowd turned out at both services, morning and evening. A very nice collection was raised. The rally will continue until Sunday next, also there will be speaking and a praise meeting every night this week. All the churches were well attended. At the A. M. E. Church, Rev.

There is a great deal of dissatisfaction in the Navy Yard among a number of young laborers who fought in the American-Spanish war. The dissatisfaction was brought about last week when they were diarrhea. Steps are being taken to find out whether or not it was ordered by the Navy Department, as it is thought Quarterman O. Lewis is performing duties entrusted to others. Mrs. Curtea Bantman of New York visited our city last week was the guest of Mrs. J. Nash.

These were also filled, and many yet could not get aboard. Again coaches were sent for by the committee but the S. A. L. could only furnish them with two. With these the excursion pulled out leaving at least enough people behind to fill a coach. An article which appeared in the Portsmouth S. A. Monday evening concerning the above excursion is an insult to the Negrorace and is enough to justify the colored subscribers to cease their subscription to the above paper and subscribe to the Richmond PLANET.

Va., to Mr. Carter Henry, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Carter Henry of Essex Co. Va., took place at the Union Baptist Church, Woostar S reet, Thursday evening June 28, 1900, at 8:15 o'clock. This marriage was one of the largest and handsomest affairs ever witnessed the Union Baptist Church. Though the wounds were heavy, the winds were loud, the hunders were rolling and bursting in clouds, did not interfere with the boys, from turning out in crowds, for as 8 o'clock there was a vast crowd waiting and watching with eager eyes to see the three in hand arrive. At 8:10 p.m. we could hear at a distance the rolling of the carriage wheels and the clatter of horses feet, and at 8:15 Miss Mary L. Henry of Essex C. V., who wrote white brocade silk, trimmed with chiton and carcaying a lovely bouquet of fillet; following her came the best maid, a little Eilee G. Sailors, who was attired in flax white swiss, trimmed with fine lace and ribbon, carrying a beautiful bouquet of fillet, wers, made up of pinks and roses, leaning the arm of the groom; then the bride, who came in leaning on the arm of Mr. Dawson Jackson, supported by Mr. James Willis. The bride was gowned in a lovely white organdie, trimmed in white satin ribbons and lace and carrying a lovely bouquet of bridal roses. Rev. G. W. Tyler officiated. The reception was held at the residence of Booth, and Mrs. Braxon Hills, No. 18 Booth Street, from 9 to 10:45. After refreshments had been served, the bride and guests took to their cozy little home at No. 423 Garden Street, where they will reside. We wish them a good success. VA. BAPTIST S S. CONVENTION DANVILLE, VA., June 12, 1800. To the Sunday School, Associations, Unions and all connected with the Virginia Baptist State Sabbath School Convention—Greeting— Dear Brethren—We take this means of calling your attention to the fact that the annual meeting of your Con- vention will convene the First Epistachion Church Sunday School in Man- chester, Va., on Wednesday before the fourth Lord's day in August 1800. It is the earnest desire of the Board that you be represented, and raise all money possible for Conventional pur- poses. At no time in our history as a Sunday School organization has been it more imperative that the frienda of the Con- vention should rally to its support than now. The true-hearted and loyal men and women who have stood by us so faithfully in the past, and by whose wise counsel and strong financial as- sistance the Convention has been ab to carry on the great cause or religious education throughout our State, are now expected to respond to our call. The existing troubles in our State present a condition of affairs never witnessed before. A crisis is to be met. To do so as becometh Christian men and women will require serious thought and prayerful consideration. o one who has the cause which we represent at heart can afford to absent himself from this meeting. There may be differences of opinion among us. Does that justify any in withdrawing? Some mistakes may have been made. Is not the Convention the best place in which to correct them? The cause we seek to advance is too important to be abandoned, breenren: We are sowing both for time and eternity. Let us stop and ponder well before we utter one word to discourage or lift one finger to destroy the work built by our own hands—an organization which has done much good, and destined to do more to promote our Master's kingdom. Come to Manchester. Come in large numbers. Come with renewed seal. Come with an earnest desire to draw into one strong brotherhood all who are in sympathy with the great objects for which the Convention was organised. Our missionaries are still upon the field planting new schools, fostering weak ones, carrying Bibles into the homes of the benighted and destitute, and preaching the gospel of the Son of God to dying men and women. Shall this work cease? Shall these servants of God be recalled from the field? Shall our grand old Convention, with all its history, its achievements, its pleasant associations around which our memories linger with fond recollections, go down? It is left with you to answer. Let every school, association and union join in one united cry "On to Manchester." Reduced rates will be secured over all lines, leading into the city. Yours for God and humanity, R. T. HILL, President, W. F. GRASTY, Cor. Sec'y. BAPTIST COUNCILS Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. The above is the subject from which Rev. Dr. Graham will presen to-morrow morning at the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The announcement of the subject has created quite a stir in the city in Baptist circles, since a great many members of the churches feel that Baptist counsels unspoilt too mush authority over God's heritage. So crowds of the faithful from all over the city declare their intention of going to the Fifth St. Baptist Church tomorrow to see where Dr. Graham stands on this question.

HE PLANET SATURDAY JULY 28, 1900. THE GOEBEL MYSTERY Sensational Testimony in the Trial of Caleb Powers. THE THREATS OF JOHN POWERS. One Witness Swore That He Declared He Would Be Willing to Kill Goebel, and Another Heard Him Say the Democrat Would Not Be Seated. Georgetown, Ky., July 25.—Yesterday was the most eventful day of the trial of Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in the Goebel shooting, since the hearing of the testimony began nearly two weeks ago. The testimony was nearly all corroborative. Among the possibilities for the witness stand today are Robert Noakas, whose cross examination was suspended last Saturday, F. Wharton Golden and McKenzie Todd, the latter private secretary to Governor Taylor. It was definitely stated last night that Henry Youtsey will not be placed on the stand. Among yesterday's witnesses was Miss Ella Smith, of Barbourville. She told of a conversation between John Powers and herself on Jan. 16. They were regretting the Colson-Scott tragedy, which happened at Frankfort that day, and Powers said there would be more bloodshed at Frankfort if Goebel was seated. Witness was surprised at this statement, and said: "Oh, Mr. Powers, you would not be willing to kill him, would you?" Then Powers replied that he would. Miss Bessie Hardin, of Frankfort, corroborated much of the evidence of the prosecution as to the arrival of the mountaineers. James Fletcher, of Knox county, testified that he heard John Powers say in December: "Taylor has been elected, governor, and if any effort is made to count him out Goebel will never be seated." John F. Dazler, of Knox county, testified that he heard Charles Finley, then secretary of state, tell Caleb Powers early in December that he would leave a shotgun loaded with buckshot in the office of the secretary of state and advised Powers to use it if any attempt was made to unseat him. The court excluded this testimony on the ground that it was not competent. George Lockhart, of Knox county, told of Caleb Powers arranging with him to go armed to Frankfort for a month. Powers told him he would be paid if Taylor won the contest. A DESPERATE NEGRO MURDERER. Killed Two Police Officers and Then Made His Escape. New Orleans, July 25.—A trifling incident here has begun a series of tragedies which may culminate in a popular uprising similar to the Italian lynching some, years ago. Two suspicious negroes were hanging around a quiet neighborhood and somebody took the precaution to inform the police. Several officers went to the scene, and instead of making explanations the negroes showed fight. Pistols were soon in play, and Officer Mora was seriously shot. One of the negroes was arrested, but Robert Charles, who did the shooting, since said to be a desperate burglar and exconvict, got away, although wounded. Before his escape he succeeded in killing Captain of Police Day and Officer Lamb. Rewards of $350 for his capture have been offered by the governor and mayor, and searching parties are out in all directions. Death of Brig. Gen. Jones. New York, July 25.—Brig. Gen. Patrick Henry Jones died at his home at Port Richmond, Staten Island, Tuesday night, aged 70 years. He was born in Ireland and came to America in 1840. At the outbreak of the civil war he entered the Thirty-seventh New York volunteers as second lieutenant, and later became major of the regiment, and later colonel of the One Hundred and Fifty-fourth New York volunteers. On Oct. 4, 1864, he was commissioned brigadier general of volunteers and remained in the service until the close of the war. He was postmaster at New York during Grant's first term. Exploding Gasoline Launch Kills Two New York, July 24.—By the explosion of a gasoline launch on Long Island sound last night Mrs. A. E. Growe and her 16-year-old son Chilton were instantly killed and A. E. Growe perhaps fatally injured. Mrs. Crowe and her son were frightfully mangled. Mr. Crowe was hurled into the water. His thigh was fractured and he was internally injured. It is believed that his injuries are fatal. Mr. Crowe is a wealthy resident of New Rochelle and a member of the New Rochelle Yacht club. Mr. Bryan at G. A. R. Encompassment. Chicago, July 25.—William J. Bryan has accepted an invitation to attend the national encampment of the Grand Army in this city next August. Gen. John C.

Se ll eae en Fichmond Toi Seminary FAMINE SHADOWED INDIA. For Twenty-five Years an American Resident of Bombay. Having just returned from India, I have read the accounts of the famine in American papers, I have seen the pictures, I have seen the conditions in the famine districts, and I can assure you that the actual state of affairs is much more terrible than painted or pictured. And the worst of it is that, even if the June rains are entirely favorable, no relief can be expected till the crop is gathered in October. Famine photographs frequently represent half starved and dying, persons lying on the street or in some field. They are poor but self respecting people, who have never been the objects of public charity HUNGER KILLED WOMAN and have refused to go to famine relief them in the face, and unbearable dist help. Weary and hungry, they have lied before waking. Not long before brother missionary at Ahmedabad, not free at the roadside and said: "The o a man lying, face down, under that body I found it already stiff and cold, one side torn away, evidently eaten by and have refused to go to famine relief camps until at last death has stared them in the face, and unbearable distress has driven them out in search of help. Weary and hungry, they have laid themselves down to rest and have died before waking. Not long before leaving India, while walking with a brother missionary at Ahmedabad, not far from his house, he pointed to a tree at the roadside and said: "The other day I saw the emaciated figure of a man lying, face down, under that tree. On going near and touching the body I found it already stiff and cold. Examining it more carefully, I found one side torn away, evidently eaten by jackals.

Doctors are sent to them; serum, instruments and everything needed for efficient work are provided, but the Hindoos have not taken kindly to this remedy. All kinds of wild rumors have been spread and have been widely believed to the effect that inoculation is most harmful; that it has been devised by the European doctors to punish the Hindoos for supposed disloyalty and as a means for destroying caste. In view of this the government offers two days' wages to every man, woman or child who is inoculated. I know a little fellow 8 years old, whose mother died and whose father is a helpless invalid. Hearing that money was paid to every person who was willing to be inoculated, this poor RESCUED FAMINE GIRLS little had presented himself at one of the arm was healed he went to another star poor boy had actually been inoculated he received and with which he support The government has already ex free distribution of food to those who the ablebodied at cash wages in the ditches and other public works that wi tion she little lad presented himself at one of the inoculation stations. As soon as his arm was healed he went to another station, and this thing went on until the poor boy had actually been inoculated five times in each arm for the 84 cents he received and with which he supported himself and father for six weeks. The government has already expended more than $47,000,000 in the free distribution of food to those who are unable to work and in employing the ablebodied at cash wages in the construction of reservoirs, irrigation ditches and other public works that will mitigate future droughts. In addition, there are generous and splendidly organized systems of private charity, the funds being supplied from every part of the civilized world and managed chiefly by American and European missionaries of long experience in India. It is the duty and privilege of every one to have some share in this sacred work of humanity. Gifts may be sent to Brown Bros. & Co., 59 Wall street, New York, treasurers of the committee of one hundred; William E. Dodge, chairman, and Dr. L. T. Chamberlain, executive director, by whom they will be cabled promptly to the responsible and representative American-Indian relief committee, under the chairmanship of United States Consul William H. Fee, at Bombay, with the veteran missionary, Robert A. Hume, as executive secretary. The New York committee of one hundred on India famine relief co-operates with committees of the same name in Boston, New Haven, Baltimore, Washington, Indianapolis, and other cities, each of which has charge of the work in its own section. The committee states that on receipt of a postal addressed "Committee of One Hundred, 73 Bible House, New York," supplies of illustrated literature are seen. The help of individuals, clubs, lodges, hotels and summer resorts, churches, bttes, King's Daughters, etc., is earnest nature.

The help of individuals, clubs, lodges, labor unions, employers, proprietors of hotels and summer resorts, churches, Sunday schools, young people's societies, King's Daughters, etc., is earnestly sought in distributing this free literature. Many who will lend a hand in this way can aid the cause as much as if they were able to draw a handsome check themselves. The Secret Out.

On going near and touching the Examining it more carefully, I found y jackals. A couple of rods away lay the dead body of an infant. A little farther on was found a woman, still alive. She was the wife of the man and mother of the child. She, too, poor thing, died before she could reach the poorhouse, which stood within sight and call of the spot where these patient, helpless ones had fallen down to dle." A starving man is devoid of judgment and of most of his natural feelings. In April we received a group of famine girls. Among them was one who, although much emaciated, began to improve from the day she came to us. After a week she rapidly grew worse. In spite of everything that could be done for her she soon died. We learned at last that, while she was so ill that we were giving her a few spoonfuls of nourishment at a time, raising her gently, because she seemed unable to make any effort to help herself, and even later, when she seemed unable to see or to speak, she had been dragging herself at intervals, when we were absent, out into the garden, a distance of 50 yards, in order to get some green mangoes to eat. For the poor famine child they were deadly poison. She knew it, but the awful gnawing in her stomach made prudence impossible. The only effective preventive to the spread of plague that has yet been discovered is inoculation with plague serum. Wherever an outbreak of the disease is impolite, long-term disease is imminent, inoculation stations are opened. Doctors are sent to helping needed for efficient work are probably to this remedy.

THE RICHMOND PLANET,RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Discipline for Children A judicial decision which has just been rendered at the court in Munich shows that corporal punishment is still regarded in Germany as an indispensable factor of education. "A school-teacher," says the judge, "has the right to inflict corporal punishment as well on the pupils of his own class as on those of other classes. As pupils are amenable to scholastic jurisdiction even after the school hours are over, they may be punished by the teacher even outside of the school. A clergy-man who is giving religious instruction has the same right in this respect as other teachers. Furthermore, the infliction of such punishment cannot be made the basis of a legal action unless it can be shown that the pupil has been really and seriously injured. Such a serious injury would be a wound endangering health or life. Brushes and ordinary abrasions, however, are not to be considered as serious wounds, since marks of this kind are apt to appear wherever punishment is administered."—N. Y. Herald. Letters in London The traveler is interested in getting his letters promptly. At his London hotel there are 15 deliveries a day. He may drop a card in a post box at eight in the morning, get an answer at noon and mail a reply which will get to his friend before evening. Within the last three years, whenever the post office bill has come up in the house of representatives, there has been discussion as to the practicability of the pneumatic dispatch. One might as well discuss the practicability of the telephone. They would smile at such suggestions in London or Paris, where a slight addition to the postage will secure a rapid delivery by pneumatic dispatch. Another great convenience in the postal system abroad is the method of paying money orders. One is not obliged to go a half mile to a branch, or three miles to the central post office, to get his money. The postman who brings the order brings the money with him. You receipt for it, and that is the end of it. —Forum. Eagle's Neat. Among the attractive spots of the Killarney lakes, in the county of Derry, Ireland, is a celebrated rock about 1,200 feet in height, which is noted for its wonderful and exciting echoes. For centuries it has been the abode of eagles; hence its name. "It is impossible," says a writer, "for language to convey even a remote idea of the exceeding delight communicated by this development of a most wonderful property of nature. It is not only by the louder sounds that the echoes of the hills are awakened; the clapping of a hand will call them forth; almost a whisper will be repeated—far off, ceasing, resuming, ceasing again."—Detroit Free Press. Swept Off by a Hurricane A remarkable effect of the great hurricane of 1898 in the West India islands, was the complete disappearance from the island of St. Vincent of a species of humming-bird, which, previous to the storm, had been one of the commonest and tamed birds that inhabited the island. Other species of humming-birds, of a larger size, survived the tempest, and are yet to be seen in St. Vincent, but the little bronze-green birds with erected crests, which formerly attracted much admiration, are all gone—Youth's Companion. The Old Shipplaters Probably the greatest profit ever enjoyed by the government as a result of the destruction of money was in connection with the fractional currency or shinplasters issued during the civil war. The total amount issued was $368,724,079, of which $8,880,-558 has never been presented for redemption. A large amount has been preserved as curios by collectors, and occasionally even now it is offered for redemption—Indianapolis News.

A movement is on foot in Tennessee to have the state purchase the old home of President James K. Polk, in Nashville, as a governor's mansion. All Ferrough Bey, the Turkish minister to this country, is fast adopting American customs. He now wears a straw hat when out of doors and has joined the Chinese minister in the use of the bicycle.

A portrait of Walter Q. Gresham is to be displayed with honor in the galleries of the emperor of Japan. This tribute is in recognition of Mr. Gresham's services in carrying through successfully the treaty between Japan and this country during the second term of President Cleveland. Dr. John Charles Ryle, bishop of Liverpool, who died recently, was twice select preacher at Oxford and once at Cambridge. His father was a banker, and the late bishop for a short time took a part in the business. Then financial difficulties came in his way, and, leaving commerce, he exchanged his business career for that of a clergyman. Baron Hayashi, the new Japanese minister to the court of St. James, is regarded as one of the ablest among Japanese junior statesmen. The early part of his official career was passed in the department of public works, but he was subsequently transferred to the foreign office, where he rose to the rank of vice minister, holding that post throughout the war with China and receiving a patent of nobility for distinguished services.

Lord Wolseley's retirement from the position of commander in chief in a few months is not exciting the amount of public interest which the importance of the position demands. Under the changes introduced into the war office in 1895 the period of office fixed for each holder of the post was five years, and this term expires in the case of Lord Wolseley next September. The appointment of his successor presents a favorable opportunity for the government to place the war office system on a thorough and sounder footing, and there is a widespread impression that this will be done.—Manchester Dispatch. Long Theatrical Treats The Passion Play as performed at Oberammergau in Bavaria lasts from eight a.m. to six p.m., with an hour and a half's interval, or eight and a half hours in the actual performance.

Fully an hour wasconsumed in breaking the Jock to the cell in which the exlprit was confined. but as toon as this was eccomplished two men secured Clark and quickly appeared with him on the front steps of the jail. IDENTIFIED BY VicTIX, One of the mob then sprang up to the steps, and, turning to the crowd. begged all persons to put up their pie- tole and handle their gons with care, in order to prevent any more blood~ shed. ‘This suggestion was adopted by the crowd. and the colored man was started down the ateps. A plow line was placed around his neck, and. ‘guarded oy twenty heavily armed men in fours, he was dragged out of the jail yard. Down Ohnton street the shooting and cheering mob led their vietim, followed by fully 1500 people. ‘The doomed man was hustled quick- 1f to Dallas, and once there was drag- ged down Stevens avenue to the home of his victim. Here he was taken be- fore the girl and positively identified. The identifeation complete, the man collapsed and had to be taken up and borne on the shouiders of his captors. Moore’s Grove was soon reached. The rope around Clark's neck was ‘thrown over the limb of an immense tree by Miss Prieat’s brother. The colored man was thrown across the back of a horse and the snimal led out from uader him. The body fell prob- ably three feet, and as 1 dangled in the air the report of probably a. hun- dred firearme was heard, and the quiv. ering fiteh of the man was pierced by many balleis.
