THE RICHMOND PLANET REV. DR. JOHNSON SPEAKS. A Great and Crying Need of a Distinguishing Name as Colored Baptists. TELLS THE REASON WHY-TELLING PLEA. WILL THE CONVENTION TAKE ACTION? VOLXVII NO38 REV. DR. JOHN A Great and C a Distinguish Colored TELLS THE REASON WILL THE CONVEN I repeat, as I have stated before, that until we have a name, we can never be really and truly a representative denomination, and can never have our proper influence as a race, for our own protection; neither can we, as a denomination. So, the question I now raise, is not one of separation from the whites,—for we, are already separated in every essential sense as a denomination, and have been since 1886 when we began to organize colored churches, colored Sabbath Schools, secret and benevolent societies, state conventions, general and district associations;—and these have multiplied and grown until to-day the whole country is a complete net-work of such, and so far as I know, there is not a white person in them; neither do they desire to be. How many white men and women are members of the colored Masons, Odd Felios and other societies? And what means our great National Baptist Convention, composed as it is, entirely of colored Baptists? So, I repeat, that I do not have to raise the question of separation, for that as complete as it can be, or as I desire it to be: we only need to take a befitting name for this great body of Baptists. But what shall it be? A NAME SUGGESTED. I have suggested "Oolored" because it is the most apt and comprehensive we could use. and yet I do not contend for it. But some may ask "What is in a name?" I answer: everything that exists, exists in a name, whether it be things that above, earth below, all beneath, all exist in a name of some kind. I repeat, we will never be properly recognized, nor can we take our place as a denation without a distinct name; for proof of this, let me call your attention to the Star-Book, page 287, and we find four denominations of colored Methodists as follows: African, African Zion, Colored and Union, and just one word added to the word Methodist makes each of them a separate denation, yet they are all Methodist still; so for us to take a name would not make us anything but regular Baptists,—indeed the national census of 1890 bulletin, 876, calls us the regular Colored Baptists, and the Home Mission and American Baptist Publication Societies and the Missionary Union, all call us "Colored Baptists." WHY NOT? Then why not—this convention pass a simple resolution that henceforth we be known as the "Colored Baptists" for as I have said, turning to the Baptist Star-Book, page 287, we find four bodies of Colored Methodists mentioned, but no Colored Baptists, no Colored Methodists, Episcopalans, no Presbyterians or Episcopalians, and why? Simply because they are represented by the whites of each of these denominations—in other words, the whites are the heads and the colored are the tails. We are followers and only followers, and so are not a representative denomination; therefore our contention is for denominational individuality with a view to representiveness; yes, representiveness, racial, denominational, national and international. HARVEY JOHNSON. Baltimore, Aug. 1900. It will be a great day for the cause of our common advancement, when colored men shall generally hold up the hands of each other in works for the common good and put away forever the contemptible idea that one is higher in proportion as he succeeds in sinking another below him.—Frederick Douglass. Our Presidential and other elections are times for the education of the people in their moral and political duties. Mind is active; opinions and principles elash; truth and error meet in stern debate before all the people. We mean, in this grand strife to take our humble part. There is an audience for us and we are bound to address it, and to do our part in flinging before the people the principles of justice and liberty which can alone exalt the nation, and without the observance and practice of which, nations, like individuals, must plunge headlong into destruction.—Frederick Douglass. FROM NEWPORT, R. I. Mrs. W. T. McGwinn who was Miss Anna W. Wallace of Ritchmond, Va., but now of Baltimore. Md., in company with Mr. and Mrs. Gray of Bristol. R I spent a delightful days outing in Newport last Thursday. Her brother, Mr. G. W. Wallace who is also stopping here showed her many points of interest in and around Newport, R. OUR LAST NOTES.

A number of Baptist trains will pull to Richmond hn the 11th and 12th of September. Will you be on one? L. G. JORDAN, 611 Sixth St. Louisville, Ky. KILLED HIM. A most distressing accident took place F day evening at Brown's tank near Christenburg, which resulted in the death of one negro named, Eddie Moore. On that evening Detective Geo. Fitzwater had under arrest on a freight train sixwheel men, who were stealing a ride. Being informed that two colored men were on the front end of the train, he went forward. The negroes jumped, and the offiser followed and placed them under arrest, one of being Ed Moore. His left hand rested on the shoulder of one, his right hand, in which was the cooked pistol, on the shoulder of Moore. Mr. Fitzwater had ordered the men to get back on the train, and that were in the ast of doing so when a foreman engaged in construction work near Brown's tank told the officer that the Negroes were his men, and that he was taking them with him to get some The officer stepped back to see what he had to say and in doing so his foot slipped and the pistol was fired. The ball entered the temple of Moore and came out of his forehead. The Negro dropped and died almost instantly. Mr. Fitxwater immediately went to Christianburg and gave himself up, but he was acquitted later upon the inquest of eight witnesses. Mr. Fitxwater is well known and his friends are sorry to hear that he was concerned in this terrible accident. He is much affected by it. He has arrested the worse criminals of all kinds but has never before had an accident of this kind. —RADFORD, VA. ADVANCE. The above is all of the explanation. Comment is unnecessary. One Negro less! What difference does it make in this section whether he was murdered intentionally or killed by accident? RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPT. 8, 1900. FROM THE PHILLIPINES. SAN MARLENO, P. I. Aug. 12. 1900 25th U. S. Infantry, Detachment 25th Infantry. The week has been busy and sad, a large supply of rations came up in the transport, Bautus and was sent to San Felipe to unload, but owing to the rough sea was compelled to put back to the land licked barbor at Sobin. On Sunday the train consisting of 10 pack mules and six escort wagons repaired from San Felipe to Subio to bring up, he cargo which consisted of rations, cots for us to sleep on, and many other articles. It was one of the worse trips on record, the roads being in an awful condition the train was in the rice paddies as often as in the water covered, so-called road. A large quantity of rations was brought up on the bull trains Saturday and distributed along the line; they were welcomely received for it just came in time, a few garrisons, including our own here being almost completely out of rations and subsisting on fish and beef which we had to kill and dress ourselves. ANOTHER SOLDIER DEAD. On last Friday night at 10:30, musician Thos. G. Wilburn, co. K. 25th Infantry died of gynestery and appendicitis, in the hospital at Castillijis. He had been ailing often and on ever since he has been on the island. He was one of the most unassuming men I ever met to have been as smart as he was. He was one of the stand-bys in trumpet telegraphy (that is telegraphing by trumpet,) and was considered the best receiver in the regiment. Deceased was 21 years old and a native of Missouri, he was at one time a student of Lincoln College, Jefferson City, Mo.; and one of the oldest young men in the service. Rev. Wm M. Wimms, Co K., our preacher so far conducted the funeral exercises, he was temporarily laid to rest at Castillijos. Rev. Wimms has organized a Sunday School at Castillijos, which everybody is glad to have, he is encouraged by all who consider it a God-send to have the elder in our midst. RELIGION IS P. WEREFUL. Religion has now a strong hold on every one, or nearly so. We realize that if we are going to teach the principles of civilization and Christianity as the situation requires we must first learn something about it ourselves. The civil governments are rapidly being organized, and the natives and ourselves are on most friendly terms. We often go from town to town with three and four mounted men. STAFF CORRESPONDENT. LATER. It is reported that Insurgents attacked Cabangaan late Saturday night. No particulars. Later confirmation of attack on Cabangaan arrived via Castillijos when the scouts upon leaving the latter place were told by Lieut. Bates to ride 80 to 40 paces apart as a town had been attacked up the line. Later at 10 a.m. Corp. Hardaway arrived from Castillijos with a detail of 20 to 40 and confined the report, saying that the telegraphic information received by Lieut. Bates Cabangaan was attacked in Insurgents at 4 a.m. Sunday and fergate Lightfoot Co. K, and Corporal Ward, Co. F, were killed in the engagement. The fight lasted until nearly 5 o'clock. Cabangsaan, the town attacked is said by those familiar with its surroundings to be one of the worst places on the whole island. It is 8 miles north of San Felipe, the 2nd Battalion headquarters and 12 miles from Batanol, a swift river on either side which is impassible in rainy weather, causes it to be isolated, so a large garrison is kept there, the largest on the line. SAN MARCILINO, P. L., JULY 17, 1900 Full particulars of the Cabanqan attack arrived to-day and shows it to be one of the most deliberate and carefully arranged attacks of the whole campaign. On July 6th, the inhabitants, to show their appreciation of American sovereignty took part in the program at the raising of the American flag, and owing to the continued good feeling shown to the garrison for an indefinite period previous, no one had an inking of mischief until they were roused from their peaceful slumbers at 8:30 a.m. Sunday by a volley of Mausers, which played havoc with the quarters; but, fortunately everybody made their escape to the ground and were quickly deployed by their respective leaders. The bullets flew thick and fast. The enemy had sharpshooters in the trees and these made things lively for all on the ground. Lieut. Arrowsmith, the commanding offeer and Serg't Lightfoot, the acting 1st sergeant walked side by side from detachment to detachment and while engaged in the above mission, the sergeant was shot and fell fighting bravely for his country. Almost about the same time Corporal Ward of F company fell amid his men bravely fighting section to rise no more. From the course of the bullet it is violent he was shot from a tree. FAST AND FURIOUS. The fight was fast hnd furious, but despite their weil planned attack and superior position, they couldn't stand the terrible hail of steel and they withdrew, carrying their dead and wounded, which the secret service found out to be about 14. The bravery of Lieut. Arrowsmith and his men was beyond question. It was about 4:30 when the enemy retired. Pvt. Flemming of company L was shot through the knee and permanently injured. The wife of Dr. Holwoe an American lady was living in Gabaoan at the time with the Doctor, he had most admirably despite the undenness of the attack and the frailty of her sex. Many men who were sleeping out of quarters were cut off. The enemy came under the shock of Sarg't Booker and it was some time before he could reach the scene of deployment. SURROUNDED HIM. Private and Interpreter Massingle of company L was literally surrounded. He says when he opened his door he couldn't see anything else but the enemy, but as he has been up against it so often he kept a cool head and came out all right. One man, whose name I couldn't learn, went down to see a Senori a and suddenly found himself confronted by two armed humbles, who informed him that he was their prisoner. They relieved it with gun and belt but later returned it to him on the promise that he would fight the Americans. In answer to their query he said he was conducted to their lines he had several white faces, but couldn't tell whether they were Spaniards or Americans. He made his escape during the progress of the fight. BORN IN VIRGINIA. Sergt James R. Lightfoot, company K, 25th Infantry, was born in Culper-per county, Virginia, about 25 years ago and at an early age visited Washington, D.C, and in a short time made it his home. He enlisted in the army in company C, 25h Infantry, and did duty in Montana. He was discharged in Michigan in 1888 and immediately reenlisted to go to Cuba. He accompanied the regiment to that place and was stricken with yellow fever, from whih he never fully recovered. He was conferred to Co. upon the reorganization to steady the young heads. He was shortly thereafter made corporal and later made sergeant, on the retirement of Serg'i Smith. His record in the Philippines, his severe wounding and experience on January 29th with the late Lieut. Schenck are already familiar to our readers. He returned to duty in May and shortly thereafter sent to Cabargaan, where he met his untimely end. His experiences have been trying and a brave and noble soldier has gone to his reward. Let us pray that our loss is his gain. Corp'l Ward's case was like that of the late Corp'l Washington of company B. He had just reenlisted. Serg'i George S. Thompson, with the mounted scouts, has located the enemy in a strong position and reinforcements are being sent him. STAFF CORRESPONDENCE.

Moore has filed with the prison commission his report touching the death of Luther Ward, a convict in the Elbert county middemean camp. Ward was found dead, enclosed to a tree, after receiving what was reported to have been a severe whipping at the hands of camp superintendent. The report exonerates Superintendent Me Bride and leaves little doubt, as far as evidence can establish any fact, that the real cause of Luther Ward's death was heart failure. The testimony taken by the state is unanimous on the point that before being enclosed to the tree Ward received three or four lashings. At the time the man was plowing by the side of a ditch, and he began to stagger, showing that he was either 1 or playing off. Finally Ward sat down on the side of the ditch and declared that he could go no further. It was here that the three or four bows with with a strap were administered by superintendent Me Bride, who desisted at once as he began to see that Ward was ill On the advice of R. H. Clark, the man who operates the camp, McBride told Warl to go to the shade and lie down and McBride followed him, chain ing him to a tree, so that, as he states, in case Ward developed a disposition in the war he would not have the opportunity. Leaving the man in this condition, McBride went away, later finding Ward dead. WINDING UP BUSINESS The General Committee of the National Baptist Convention is winding up its business handsomely. In their last meeting at the First Presbyterian church over $18 was collected, this we failed to mention last week. Over 600 delegates have been assigned to their homes through mail. They come from Arkansas, Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana. Indian Territory, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Oklahoma Territory, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, D. C., and Wisconsin. So it may be seen that qite a large number of the states and territories will be represented. While we have homes for all those who have written to us, still the good citizens of Richmond must hold themselves in reserve to give sleeping accommodation to a large number who have not been thoughtful enough to write in advance. Friends who have groceries, and other food to contribute by way of helping to run the dining room at the church will please notify Rev W. W. F. Graham at 728 N. 2nd St. Street, or deliver the groceries at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, commencing Monday, September 10th. A large gathering confronted the pastor last Sunday morning at Fifth St. Baptist Church, when he arose to preach from the subject, "The meanest preacher in the world," using the text: "He sought opportunity to betray Him." Matt. 16:28. To-morrow morning the subject will be, 'Gideon's Three Hundred.' Congregations every Sunday morning are very large and attentive. At night last Sunday Rev H. Charles Pope preached a powerful sermon from the subject, "No Compromise." The General Committee held a most enthusiastic meeting last Thursday night at Tabernacle Baptist Church, Rev.

The Thought the Man with the Swee Mustache Would Eat Up His Hirs- cuit Appendage, Unless Given a Fair Warning. She was a good looking young woman and she had an air of prosperity and general satisfaction with the world. The little boy who sat beside her, with his hand in hers, says the Chicago Times-Herald, was evidently her "onliest"—the bright particular star in the firmament of her existence. They were riding home on one of the Northwestern Elevated trains, and across the aisle from them sat a man who had a mustache that drooped directly forward over his upper lip, thus affording him an opportunity to draw the hairs into his mouth by means of his tongue and teeth, a thing he did with apparent relish. The little boy became interested in the operation and endeavored to mourse his mother to a realization of the wonder of it. Every time the man would let go to get a better hold the child, in an excited stage whisper, would say: "Mamma, book at him!" The woman would blush and preface she didn't know what he meant, and the man, being deep in a magazine article, was oblivious of his surroundings. The passengers in that end of the star were not slow to join the boy in his watchful interest, and whenever he tried to attract his mother's attention to the engaging operation they smiled broadly or giggled aloud. An old gentleman with mutton-chop whiskers and an English look sat on the other side of the boy from the latters mother. He was rather slow to train in the general enjoyment of the proceeding, but he found out after while what it was that those around A "MAMMA, LOOK AT HIM!" were laughing at, and then he, began to grin. "Look, mamma!" cried the child, "he trying to get it again." "Hush!" his mother said, endeavoring to hide her face and hold a hand over the boy's mouth at the same time. "Now he's got it!" exclaimed the excited little one. "Is he going to eat off?" "No, no, no! Be quiet!" his mother commanded. "Well, then, why does he chew it?" "Sh-h-h-h. Here, look out of the window. We'll see the Ferris wheel pretty soon." "Would it hurt him if he swallowed mamma?" "The man with the mutton-chopiskers was getting red in the face and chow.ng apoplectic symptoms, he managed to blubber: "Yes, my boy, he might choke if he allowed it." "Mamma, mamma!" exclaimed the little fellow, "he might choke if he allowed it." Just then the man with the mustache a new twist on it with his tongue and teeth and pulled on the hairs as they would be torn out by the meets. "Oh, look at him!" said the child; "he's going to swallow it now!" The lady was looking out at the windows they were passing and pre- tending not to hear. Therefore, the key turned to the English looking man and asked: "Why don't you tell him not to eat it?" "Because he has a right to eat it if he wants to." "Well, why does he want to?" "I don't know. Maybe he had honey taffy or something of that kind for lunch." "And would that make him want eat it?" "Well, it might if—" The man with the mustache sud- denly stuck out his tongue and picked off the end of a hair that he had bit- ten in two, which made the boy cry: "Why does he throw them away if he likes them?" This question attracted the atten- tion of the object of the boy's inter- t, who suddenly raised his head to discover that the other passengers were looking at him and laughing. He turned red, felt of his necktie, broke himself over as far as possible, and then, after an embarrassing mo- ment, went into another car, walking widowise, so as to prevent anything emissions from happening in case his friends might be torn where he couldn't see. Voice Restored by Acctest. Ten years ago a stroke of analysis caused the loss of speech to H. T. Stefey, of Rising Fawn, Ga. Since that time until a few days ago, he continued speechless. As he was handling an electric apparatus he accidentally received a shock which restored his voice. MAID AND MATRON The total number of women over 18 years old employed in the factories and workshops of the British islands is about 500,000, of whom 11 per cent. belong to trade unions. Miss Pauline Astor is more patriotic than her sire, William Waldorf Astor. She was asked recently whether she was an English girl or a Yankee girl. She replied that she wasn't quite sure. Her father, she said, was an Englishman. As for herself, she said she would be an American if the choice were left to her. The distinction of being the champion woman nail driver of the country belongs to Mrs. F. C. E. Mehlhouse, of Pottstown, Pa. Out of 12 fair contestants she carried off first honors by driving six eight-penny nails into a two-inch plank in 15 seconds. In her haste she dropped one of the nails, but despite this handicap she finished first. Mdille, Jane May, the French actress, has used her influence as the daughter of an officer to get a government permit to keep a tobacco shop in Paris, so that when she has grown older and less in demand than she is to day she will have something to fall back on. The shop is already open and is proving a popular success. Mrs. Mary Church Terrill, of Washington, D. C., is among the most enlightened colored women of the United States. She is a graduate of Oberlin, and is a trustee of the public schools of Washington. She has studied abroad in Paris, Berlin and Lausanne, and was once offered a position in Oberlin college. Mrs. Laura A. Alderman owns the largest orchard in South Dakota. According to W. N. Irwin, chief of the division of pomology of the department of agriculture in Washington, Mrs. Alderman has, near Hurley, Turner county, 150 acres, in which are 8,000 trees, two acres being given over to plums. Besides the trees there are 1,000 currant bushes, 1,000 gooseberry bushes, 500 grapevines and three acres of strawberries. PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE The Wichita Eagle is authority for the statement that Gen. Adna R. Chaffee has a brother in Wichita who is a soldier in the Salvation Army. He is a little, silvery-haired old man, and plays the bass drum. Lord and Lady Rathes sailed recently for the United States. His title of grand bootjack to the sovereign dates from the days when it was the duty of the earl of Rathes to remove the boots of their Scotch majesties upon their return to the palace after a function. The New York Evening Post relates a story characteristic of the late King Humbert and Queen Margherita. The queen, it seems, had a strong partiality for white dresses, but with the advancing years she feared that they looked too girlish, and asked the king what he thought about it. He replied that he would think it over. A few days after she received a box containing half a dozen white dresses fresh from Paris, with her husband's compliments. Gen. Chaffee, in command of the American forces in China bears the unusual Christian names of Adna Romanza. Adna is a Hebrew word signifying pleasure, while Romanza is derived from the Italian, and in English is applied in music to a tender sentiment, or a song without words, "It would be interesting to know," says the Philadelphia Record, "how Gen. Chaffee's parents, who were plain farmer folk, living in prosasic central Ohio, came to give their son these peculiar names. This stern, matter-of-fact man of action would seem to have a name quite out of harmony with his character." HOW JOCKEYS REDUCE WEIGHT Fred Archer used to spend entire days in his private Turkish bath, eating nothing meanwhile but a little dry toast. John Arnull once ate nothing but an occasional apple for eight consecutive days in order to reduce himself to ride a particular horse for the prince of Wales. Benjamin Smith, one of the gamest jockeys on record, who rode and won a race with a broken leg, used to live for days in front of an enormous open fire, eating practically nothing, and drinking huge quantities of senna tea. John Osborne once relieved himself of seven pounds of flesh in a single walk, but the walk covered 40 miles and lasted nine hours. His diet on this occasion was a hard biscuit, purchased at a roadside public house and a poached egg served in vinegar. "Wasting" is the term used by jockeys to signify the training down to weight. Even a tiny fellow like Tod Sloan or Johnny Reiff will, if he lets himself go, soon weigh 20 pound more than he ought. This will happen every winter. When spring comes there is the problem of getting rid of the overweight, and doing it quickly.

Foolhardiness Did Not Carry Its Just Punishment with It in This Instance - A Somewhat Heroic Cure for Fever. Lion hunting is dangerous enough when the hunter's health and strength are of the best. But an inveterate sportsman does not regard consequences, and the author of "Sport in East Central Africa" gives an account of a foolhardy adventure which he seems to have enjoyed. He was ill with fever in a little settlement or blacks, but since lions were in the neighborhood he must needs insist upon having the carcass of a boar placed as bait not far from his hut; and, although his legs were too weak to allow him to walk a dozen steps he had himself propped against the door jamb, and laid his double-barreled rifle across his knees. It was nearly one o'clock, he says when the lions gave notice of their whereabouts. I heard the heavy grunting sighs of three or four of them as they moved about in the scrub 200 yards away. Then followed a series of rushes, as they leaped down the bank of the creek and lapped noisily at the water. Next came a terrified voice from a neighboring hut. "White man, we are going," it said, and the "boys" rushed pell-mell from their sheter, some passing in front of me, others behind me, making for a grove of trees. Scarcely had the first of them got well outside the huts before it seemed as if a lion were right among them, as, with deep, savage grunts, it dashed past my hut, bounding through the scrub in close pursuit. Suddenly a yell rang out from the darkness, and I was convinced that one of my blacks was being devoured: A MOMENT OF TERROR but I was too weak to stand, and was powerless to act. After some farther noise and confusion I heard a lion treading over the dead leaves near by. Then came a prolonged muffled sound, half roar, half moan, uttered in a deep voice, which even under the circumstances I recognized as profoundly musical. Then there was a heavy but silent footfall as the beast walked to the back of my hut, and thrusting his nose amongst the thatched grass sniffed loudly, till I could see the lighter stalks stirring, when he endeavored to insert a paw between the interstices of the wattles. Each instant I expected the whole structure to collapse, but luckily the beast forebore to take a mean advantage, which would have secured my destruction. I should have fired, had I not been afraid of setting fire to the hut. At length the brutes cleared out, uttering deep growls. They had destroyed one hut and pretty much ruined two more, not to speak of smashing the hut next mine, which contained all my stores. I could hear them there, making a terrific noise, snuffing, grunting and snarling, breaking sticks and clanking metal, while every now and then one would leap down the bank into the water and then come tearing back, breathing heavily and growing low. Yet not a whisker hair did one of them show in the firelight in front of me. The excitement did me good. The next morning I was up and about in pajamas and an ulster. Not one of the boys had been injured, although one had had a marvelous escape. The lions were close upon him as he reached a tree. He sprang at a branch, and in his terror seized the leg of another black who had clambered up before him. Fearing lest he, too, should fall into the lion's maw, the other fellow kicked his leg clear, so that the unfortunate fugitive fell to the ground, uttering the yell I had heard. Why the nearest lion did not seize him I cannot say. The boy explained that it merely growled as he scrambled to his feet and climbed up another tree as fast as his black legs could shin.

When I was but a little boy, my mother used to say, If I was very good I might be president some day; I have seen no indications of such happen- But I bide my time in patience; it's waste of strength to fret. I have scanned the situation and I've made new repairs. Determined that no accident shall take me unaware. And if a nomination ever sweeps within my reach, Well, I've got my front porch ready and I've learned a little speech. I have had it freshly painted, and I've cleared the vines away. So that when I'm talking to them they can watch my facial play; And I've taken elocution. I can say it with great art: If men decide that I'm the one to lead 'em and to teach. Well, I've got my front porch ready and I've learned a little speech. --Washburn All round the world—north, south, east, west— Hers alone!

What of the sigh, if we say, with a smile: "Times will be better after a while?" It's a long-long way to the light of day; But winter gives ever a promise of May, and ever we dream, in the darkest night: "The joy will come with the morning light!" Even in our sorrow we say with a smile: "Times will be better after a while!" "Times will be better!" In joy and woe Is it not sweeter to sing them so? Sweeter to dream, when the dark's o'er the The eyes of the angels are looking at you? Away from the sigh, then, and sweet be the smile. "Times will be better after awhile." — F. L.

He Struggled Bravely to Drive Away the Armored Intruders, But Finally Gave Up the Unequal Struggle in Despair. In the vicinity of Emerald Lakes, Col. porcupines are exceedingly numerous this season and afford fine sport for the hunters. But the sport is not all ways on one side, and if the porcupine have any sense of humor they must have enjoyed an incident of recent occurrence. A party of campers at the lakes were surprised on awakening one morning to find that their saddles thrown carelessly outside the tent, had been gnawed and ruined by some nocturnal visitors. Watch was maintained the following evening and it was found that the porcupines were the guilty ones. Evidently they like the taste of leather, for similar instances have occurred, and Charles Graham, the hatchery superintendent, carefully locks the stable doors at nights. Old Snoozer, the watch dog, is always kept within the house at night. At first he was allowed to roam at large but despite the pain from their poisonous quills he seemed to persist in attacking the porcupines. Rolling themselves into balls of spikes, the little animals would defy the dog. Morning after morning he was found whimpering with pain from cruel pricks, and at last a watch was determined upon to decide whether Snoozer was foolish enough to continue fighting the porcupines of his own will. Soon after darkness had settled over the mountains watchful eyes were kept upon him as he lay a few yards from the cabin. The moon rose early and illuminated the scene to the satisfaction of the watchers. Suddenly one of them started in excitement. Down a little footpath leading into the great dark forest of pines came a company of little animals. Noiselessly they SNOOZER FIGHTS THE PORCUPINES treaded their way toward the cabin The dog, sleeping with one eye open, as is his wont, seemed to divine their coming as they drew near. Sitting up on his haunches, he glanced about as if in dread. Nearer and nearer came the stealthy creatures and the men saw unmistakably that they were porcupines. Seventeen there were, and in twos and threes they ambled forward, with a large one acting as leader. Almost breathless with surprise, the men in the cabin waited. The dog, catching sight of them, whined with a note of fear that even a brown bear could not inspire. Steadily the procession of porcupines advanced, and the dog, retreating to the doorstep, began to quiver with apprehension. Undoubtedly he had seen these foes before. Marching closer, the curious little visitors began to encircle the dog. Suddenly, unable to stand the suspense any longer, he barked shrilly and rushed at the nearest porcupine. Instantly it rolled itself tightly into a ball, as did most of the others, and Snoozer's skin was punctured severely by the sharp quills. Yelping with pain, he retreated, and after a few seconds, unrolling themselves, the porcupines drew near with merciless intentions. Snoozer might have leaped past them and fled away in the night, but perhaps the lonely mountains at night, with their strange inhabitants, filled him with terror and induced him to suffer at the doorstep of his master in preference. Closer the porcupines came, until the cowering dog was hemmed upon the log sill. Within six feet was the impregnable circle of bristles, and what the result would have been will never be known, for one of the men, whose warm heart was wrung by the pitiful whimpering of the faithful dog, which never feared bears, snatched a six-shooter from the wall and through the window shot the nearest porcupine. A yelp of delight succeeded the report of the pistol, and there was a sudden scattering of porcupines and Snoozer was never again compelled to sleep outside the house. Great Chance for Tinplers Thrifty tipperls have had a gay time in Gardiner, Me. The beer-sellers there cut down the price of beer to half the usual rate. Then the rivalry became so great that some of them gave away the foaming beverage without charge.

Drops Through the Branches of a Tree to a Bench Upon Which a Young Couple Are Sitting. A cracking of branches in the tree under which they were sitting in Washington park, Chicago, late the other night, followed by the tread of a dark object as it alighted on the park bench beside them, and strange and uncanny whines and yelps, frightened Willis Johnson and his cousin, Miss Mary Waterbury, so badly that Miss Waterbury screamed and fainted, while Johnson was almost panic-streken. The screams of the frightened woman were heard by Detective James THEN MISS WATERBURY FAINTED Duffy, of the Hyde Park police station, who rushed to the scene. Arriving there, he found a jabbering monkey, dressed in outlandish clothing, and a young man standing over an unconscious woman trying vainly to bring her to a normal state. The officer brought water from the lagoon nearby and revived the young woman, while a keeper soon appeared and carried off the monkey, together with a parachute which the animal clasped tightly in its hands. The affair happened shortly after ten o'clock, when visitors to Washington park were beginning to thin out and but few people were around. Mr. Johnson and his cousin had been walking through the park and sat down to rest a short time before taking the street cars home. They were but a short distance from a resort where a balloon ascension, with a parachute drop by a monkey, known as Mrs. Murphy, had been a prominent attraction. The monkey has not been particular about the place of its descent, and the other night it came speeding down through the air just above the young couple. While order was being restored and the unwelcome intruder had been identified as a harmless monkey, a man appeared, and, taking the animal in tow, marched off with it. "Sure, you needn't be afraid," he said. "Mrs. Murphy is as kind as the day is long and wouldn't harm a soul." BEAR RUNS A TRAIN. Animal in Traveling Show Breaks Out of Cage and Chances Conductor Into the Caboose. A Chicago Tribune correspondent is authority for the statement that the other night several bears took charge of a train on the Toledo & Ohio Central and made things interesting for a time. A train was carrying a show from Corning to Toledo. The car next the caboose contained two oases of bears, together with some other wild animals. Just after the train left Bucyrus one of the bears broke out of his cage and COWBOY LASSOED THE BEAR started on an exploring expedition. The conductor made his escape, with the bear in hot pursuit, to the cabose, where the train crew was. The conductor won the race and slammed and locked the door. The bear, seeing that he could not get the conductor, contented himself with climbing around over the other cages, in which pastime he was joined by other occupants of the broken cage. Seeing that the chances were good for a whole train full of fighting wild animals, the train was sidetracked and the cowboy of the aggregation armed himself with a lariat and started to lasso the bears. The train was delayed over an hour and messages began to accumulate asking the cause. The conductor, however, had troubles of his own, and he wired the general office here that he was sidetracked to take a straw vote and find out who was running the train, he or the bears. ALL SORTS.

Woman Clutched the Crased Animal by the Thront While She Drove Four Miles. Mrs. Charles F. Lenone, of Passaic, N. Y., is a lover of dogs, but declares she will never again own one unless it be a bulldog, for that species never goes mad. The other day she had an exiting adventure with a pet dog of hers. While driving on the Lexington road the animal suddenly developed symptoms of the rabies. Mrs. Lenone was four miles from home on a driveway filled with vehicles. With rare presence of mind, in her endeavor to save others from the fate to which she was herself exposed, she GRASPED THE DOG'S THROAT seized the snapping, yelping brute by the throat with one hand and by main force held it down on the floor of the carriage. Her young son drove at top speed back to Passaic. When Mrs. Lenone was seen by a reporter at her pretty home in Montgomery avenue she was wholly unwilling to regard herself as a heroine. "I suppose I was nervous," she admitted. "It would be folly to say that a drive of that kind, with an animal frothing at the mouth and making mad efforts to escape, did not frighten me. It did. I knew if I once loosed my hold the people we met probably be bitten, perhaps fatally. On the other hand, I hoped that once under proper control the dog might be saved." Mrs. Lenone is short of stature, though strongly built, and the hand which grasped the dog's throat is so small and soft that its muscular grip could scarcely be guessed at. Dixie, the big French poodle which caused all the trouble, was Mrs. Lenone's constant companion. "Since the dog was clipped," said Mrs. Lenone, "he had been acting queerly. He seemed all right on Monday, however, when I started for a drive. I had no warning that anything was wrong until he suddenly began yelping, snapping at me and striving to jump from the carriage. I had the leash with me and attached it to the collar with the 'greatest difficulty. There was only one thing to be done. I wound my hand in the hair on his neck and clutched his throat. I held him down with all my strength." PLUCKY YACHTSWOMAN. Miss Annie B. Tinker, of New York, Steers a Sailboat After She Has Broken Her Wrist. The heroine of the Long Island coast just now is Miss Annie R. Tinker, only 19 years old, and the daughter of Henry C. Tinker, of New York. While out yachting the other day she was steering the boat when she was struck by the flying spokes of the wheel and her wrist fractured. She made no outcry, however, but remained at the wheel as if nothing had happened. Mr. Tinker's country residence, "Briarcroft," is on the west side of the STUCK TO THE WHEEL bay at Port Jefferson. Some time ago he had a yacht built, and when the boat was finished announced that in the near future he would give a luncheon party to the men who worked upon it and their families. It was arranged that the party should be carried from the village of Briarcroft in one of Mr. Tinker's launches, and when the party got aboard Miss Tinker took her position at the wheel. The minute the craft got under way the wheel spun round and struck Miss Tinker on the right arm. But not a word did the brave girl say of the accident, and steered the boat for a mile and a half with her left hand, to her father's landing. When all were ashore she ordered her horse hitched and drove three miles to a doctor's office, where the bone was set. Returning home she made no mention of the accident and assisted in entertaining her father's guests. "You say he has adopted art as a profession?" "Yes; he has adopted it. But he treats it like a cruel stepfather in a story book."—Washington Star. THE PLANET Published every Saturday by John Mithe at 811 North Fourth Street.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 8, 1900 We are opposed to disorderly colored people as much as we are against disorderly white ones. BROTHER PETERS seems to want separation from the colored folks in the day time, What does Brother Peters want in the night time? We have received the NORFOLK NEWS and ADVERTISER, with Mr. J. E. DICKERSON, JE., as editor and manager. We wish it success. The re-election of BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS, as President of the National Afro-American Council was a deserving tribute o a most worthy man. It is to be regretted that HON. WILLIAM J. BRYAN has not been booked for speeches in the Southern States. The doctrine which he is preaching is sadly needed in that section. NEW ORLEANS under democratic rule had a Negro butchery. New York under democratic rule had a Negro butchery. In both instances the police aided against the colored people. COLORED men, remember that our white friends are not all dead. We must merit good treatment, even though we fail to receive it. THE RICHMOND, VA. TIMES seems to be suffering with a severe attack of Negro-phobia. It knows all about the disease, but is absolutely unable to secure a remedy with which to cure it-elf. By boycotting the Jim Crow street cars of Atlanta, Ga., the colored people entailed a loss of $5,000 per month, upon the company and the boybott is still in operation. Every horse, mule, and ox was utilized by the colored people and they stayed off the street cars. BROTHER PETERS of the "Jim Crow" street car resolution should propose Negro conductors, for his proposition, and should also make a further inquiry as to the mixing of white ladies with colored males and females at the Richmond Normal School. But he wouldn't touch that because some of his relatives might get a job here. PROF. JESSIE LAWSON explains in the Washington, D. O., EVENING STAR that there was no politics in the National Afro-American Press Association. Be that as it may, it was nevertheless ominous science which portends good to the National Republican Party. It was manifestly an inning for the other side and J. M. TURNER was unquestionably gratified. There is no doubt in the world, but what the colored people have regard to the ad- ministration managers indifferent to their interests and somewhat antagonistic to their promotion. MR. WHITE'S FAREWELL THERE is an underlying element of the pathetic in the words accredited to Hon. GEORGE H. WHITE, the only colored congressman at the capital of the nation. Said he: "I am not only going myself, but I am going to take 50,000 Negroes with me. I am going to New York to live, I cannot live in North Carolina and be a man atd be treated like a man. I used to feel at home in my state. When I practiced law at the bar of North Carolina I was not discriminated against because I was a Negro. That is all in the past now. As a matter of fact, I am going to practice law in New York. I feel I will be given a corollial welcome there." We trust that MR. WHITE's predictions may be realized. He has proven himself true to his racial interests, and devoted to his country. It is unfortunate that he must at his age of life seek a home in another time. For our part, hemmed in as we are by proscriptive legislation, we feel dispondent ourselves at times; but she remain on Virginia's soil until the end of the chapter, mingling our tears with those of our down-trodden people, and pleading their cause against all coners. God grant that Mr. Whits will not forget us when prosperity comes to him. The Negro haters can do their worst. We have seen "gloomier times than present," and have learned what "a sublims thing it is, to suffer and be strong." PETERS AND HIS PET MEASURE. We hardly believe that any one will deny that the feeling between the better class of white people of this city and the better class of colored people has been of the most friendly description. How unfortunate then that in the midst of the disgust caused by the EPS' "Jim Crow" Car law upon our railways, it should be further increased by the miserable anties of a Mr. R. L. PETERS, who is now serving his term as Councilman. The only R. L. PETERS we can find anything about is a painter, and is accordingly in the business of making things appear other than what they really are. In this effort, he has applied his brush in the vain attempt to show to Richmond that it has a miserable street-car service, due to the fact that the colored people will not get off the face of the earth. It is particularly unfortunate that in both of these outrageous propositions, laboring white men should have been the patrons of the measures. Both, Mr. JOHN E. EPPs and Mr. R L. PETERS, Negro-like, are so "dead poor" that they are under the necessity of being on the scout, either for office or a job of painting. Now, any labor leader of intelligence will admit that labor cannot afford to fight labor, that antagonisms should not be promoted between any classes of workmen, be they black or white. Whenever this is done, trusts smile and enjoy the situation hugely. Soong as the colored laborers are careless of the welfare of the white laborers and vice-versa, the breach thus made and kept open makes the enemies of labor certain of success in any attack made upon the divided ranks of labor. But R. L. PETERS is not thinking of this. In order to win a little cheap notoriety and to obtain a "pat or two" upon the shoulder by the ward-heels ra and bar-room bummers, together with an approving smile from some of the ladies of modest circumstances with whom he associates, he would sacrifice the interests of the workingmen and cruisse labor. This separation business is drifting to the point where it will cause endless trouble. Will Mr. R. L. PETERS (his name is in keeping with the prejudices) than proceed to offer a resolution separating all white men from our women in private houses and leave alone the outside show on our street-cars? He should remedy and existing evil for we note that the conductors on our railroads are unable to separate the passengers according to race. There are so many white Negroes that many of our people are insulted by being ordered out of the "Jim Crow" simply because they are not as black as their more fortunate neighbors and all classes are debating the question as to where to put them. We are reliably informed that a white Negro female was buried in Hollywood last week, although her parents were colored. When it is known by the authorities, they will be under the necessity of disturbing her rest and laying her away on the hill-side. We trust that Brother PETERS will convert his wayward brethren to the error of their ways in mixing with Negro women as was the case of that white man from Petersburg, who lost all of his belongings in staying too long in the company of one of them. It is a pity that the white laboring men have no champion now, but must rely upon the efforts of the Negro-hating screechers, who see no road to fame, save that which lays in the abuse and persecution of one of the kindiest races of people on the face of the globe. When R. L. PETERS would represent the colored people of Richmond as a disorderly, lacking self-respect and unfit to ride upon the street-cars of the city, he libels and slanders them, and merits the condemnation of every THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND VIRGINIA. white and colored person in this locality. Oh, that some one would give him a thick coat of black paint from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet so that Pariah-like, he might wander through our city and feel the blighting effect of the additional ostracism to which he would subject us GENERAL SOUTHERN NEWS. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 5.—John D. Rockefeller has made Splendid Seminary, a negro college in this city, a present of $180,000. The money has been paid into the treasury of the American Baptist Home Mission society, of New York, which institution has charge of the college. Asheville, N. C., Sept. 3.—George W. Vanderbilt has started an endowment fund to the Clarence Barker Memorial hospital at Biltmore. The hospital will be formally opened tomorrow, and was erected in memory of Clarence Barker, a cousin of the Vanderbilt, by his sisters, Adele Elma Barker Schmit and Virginia Purdy Barker Bacon. Jackson, Ky., Aug. 31.—Shots fired into the dining room at the home of James Barnett, on Howard's Creek, yesterday killed Mrs. Nancy Barnett, an aged woman, her 12-year-old grand-daughter and Mrs. James Bennett. The latter's husband, James Bennett, is being pursued by officers and others, it being charged that he did the shooting. It is said that Bennett was jealous of Barnett. Richmond, Sept. 4.—"Topeka Joe," alias Joseph B. Evans, alias Harry Miller, alias Joe Rapley, who is suspected of being the leader of the gang that broke into the Williamsburg (VA) bank some months ago, and who was being held at the city jail here for safe keeping until his trial should come up at the September term of the court at Williamsburg, made his escape yesterday morning about 3 o'clock. Richmond, Va., Sept. 1.—James J. Jeffries, the pugilist, in an interview here yesterday said: "I will fight Corbett if he is anxious to have a match, but it will have to be a case of winner getting everything and loser only the beating. That is the only way to do business. Fitz can get a fight from me whenever he wants it when he goes about it properly and gives time to the man who wants to fight." Jackson, Miss., Sept. 4.—Reports have reached here of a fresh outbreak of the Kennedy-Horton feud in the Auburn neighborhood, 20 miles south of Jackson. Friday the two factions met on the public highway and a fight occurred, during which T. W. Hackley and John Strong received probably fatal wounds. The feud was caused by the elopement of a daughter of James Kennedy with John Strong. A good portion of the entire neighborhood is involved. Little Rock, Sept. 4.—The entire Democratic ticket headed by Hon. Jefferson Davis, of Pope county, for governor, was elected in Arkansas yesterday. Early returns indicate that the vote will be lighter than was expected. H. L. Remmel, the Republican candidate for governor, made a good showing, and his increased vote over two years ago will probably reduce the usually large Democratic majority. There was no opposition to the Democratic ticket for any office except the governorship. Raleigh, N. C., Sept. L—The execution of Tom Jones, the negro murderer, took place here yesterday. He kept his nerve on the gallows and died in five minutes after the drop fell. He was baptized and joined the Catholic church Monday. On the 22d of March last Jones killed Ella Jones, his paramour, and her 13-year-old daughter, and burned their house to hide the crime, roasting beside the bodies of his victims four of her children, the youngest of whom was an unnamed month old babe, of which Jones was the father. Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 5. At a wheat threshing near Long's store, in Union county, yesterday Dr. S. J. Love, his mother, brother and sister and five farm hands were poisoned by arsenic, which is believed to have been placed in the dinner with murderous intent. Dr. Love died within three hours. All the other victims were alive at last reports, but very sick. There is every indication that arsenic, in some state, had been put in one of the dishes served at dinner, but when or by whom the deadly drug was placed in the food is a mystery. Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 1. On account of the failure of miners and coal operators at Coal Creek to agree on a wage scale yesterday the annual contract with the miners was not signed today, as has been the custom. The miners decided to adjourn the conference until Sept. 10. On account of this failure to agree all coal mines in Coal Creek, Jellico, Middlesboro and intervening points with the exception of two or three are closed down. It is not a strike, as both miners and operators are hopeful of reaching an agreement by Sept. 10. About 3,000 miners are affected. The operators have refused to concede the demands thus far Asheville, N. C., Sept. 5.—George C. White, the only nongovernmental in the United States, has announced that he will give up his residence in North Carolina if the recently adopted amendment to the state constitution is upheld by the higher courts, and will begin the practice of law in New York. He says: "I am not only going myself, but I am going to take 50,000 negroes with me. I cannot live in North Carolina and be a man and be treated like a man. I used to feel at home in my state. When I practiced law at the bar of North Carolina I was not discriminated against because I was a negro. That is all in the past now." Columbia, S. C., Aug. 31.—With returns from about 76,000 votes, and with 4,000 or 5,000 to hear from, Governor McSweyneley leads in the race for governor by about 3,000 votes over Col. James A. Hoyt, the Prohibition candidate. It is expected that all returns from Wednesday's primary will be in by tonight. Senator Tillman, with no opposition, returns to the United States senate. He is running considerably behind his ticket. State Treasurer Timmerman and J. H. J. Hennings, a one armed Confederate, are running a neck and neck race. Col. James Tillman, a nephew of the senator, is doubtless the highest man for lieutenant governor. India's Plague Victims. Bombay, Sept. 4.

RAILROAD MASSACRE RAILROAD MASSACRE Excursion Train Wrecked on the Reading Road at Hatfield, Pa. THIRTEEN DEAD, FIFTY HURT. The Excursion Train, Running Thirty-five Miles an Hour, Crashed Into the Rear End of a Combination Milk and Passenger Train. Philadelphia, Sept. 3.—Thirteen persons killed and fully fifty others injured is the appalling record of a rear-end collision between an excursion train and a milk train on the Bethlehem branch of the Philadelphia and Reading railway yesterday morning at Hatfield, Pa., 27 miles north of this city. The killed are: Miss Annie Sherry, aged 21 years, South Bethlehem; Robert Miller, 21, South Bethlehem; Richard Bachman, 40, South Bethlehem; William Ehret, 22, South Bethlehem; Ira Ehret, 20, brother of William, South Bethlehem; Joseph Mordant, 22, South Bethlehem; Charles McPonigle, Allentown; Thomas Day, Allentown; Miss Mamie Kaelin, 14, Tefford; Godfrey Kaelin, father of Mamie; William Blackburn, Ambler; Harold Landis, Hatfield; Florian Waldspurger, Taylorsport, Pa. The injured: John David, Philadelphia, engineer of excursion train, skull fractured, critical; Albert J. Wagner, Philadelphia, fireman excursion train, contusions chest and legs, serious; Wilson Crossland, South Bethlehem, baggagemaster of milk train, head lacerced, serious; Michael J. Tighe, Allentown, legs crushed and burned, serious; John Gorman, South Bethlehem: foot crushed; John McHugh, South Bethlehem, leg and thigh injured and hurt internally, not serious; Abraham Transue, Jr., South Bethlehem, deep scalp wounds, contusion of back and internally injured, serious; Mrs. William Burkhardt, South Bethlehem, injured internally; Merge Gertrude Burkhardt, South Bethlehem, both legs broken; P J. McMahon, South Bethlehem, ankle broken; John Reichley, South Bethlehem, internally injured; Mrs. George Harrison, arm broken and contusion of body; Irvin Newhard, head badly cut; Mary Newhard, South Bethlehem, crushed ribs; Miss Carrie Bachman, daughter of Richard Bachman, who was killed, chest crushed, serious; Miss Brennan, South Bethlehem, arm broken; L. T. Hartzog, South Bethlehem, arm broken; Harry Schott, South Bethlehem, leg contused; Edward Reese, Allentown, contusion of shoulder and legs; Mrs. S. Haber, Allentown, both legs broken; John Schantz, Allentown, toes crushed; William Schantz, Allentown, thigh injured; Miss Schaeffer, Allentown, legs broken; Mary Koch, fractured legs; Lewis Knecht, Bethlehem, contusion of legs; George Landis, Bethlehem, scalp wounds; Mrs. Alfred Schmoyer, Bethlehem, badly lacerated; Annie Miller, South Bethlehem, hips crushed; William Wilmeyer, South Bethlehem, badly lacerated; Mrs. Wilmeyer, legs crushed; Hon. W. H. Rosenberry, of Lansdale, member of the legislature. The wrecked train consisted of ten day coaches, and was the first section of a large excursion made up of people from Bethlehem, Allentown and surrounding towns to Atlantic City. This section carried only those persons who lived in Bethlehem and Allentown, and left the Union depot in Bethlehem at 6:05 a. m., exactly 35 minutes behind the milk train. The latter train consisted of two milk cars and two passenger coaches, and had stopped at every station on the road from Bethlehem en route to Philadelphia. At 6:54 the milk train drew up at the milk platform at Haffield, and in less than two minutes the special excursion train running at the rate of 35 miles an hour, crashed into the rear of the milk train. The locomotive ploughed through the two passenger coaches and crushed them as if they were egg shells. The milk car immediately in front was also badly wrecked. Four persons, Godfrey Kaelin, his daughter, Mamie, Harold Landis and William Blackburn, in the passenger cars of the milk train, were almost instantly killed. As soon as the crash came a terrible cry arose from the smashed cars, and those who had not been injured quickly crawled or jumped from the cars and went to the assistance of the injured. Many were pinned down by wreckage and to be freed by the liberal use of axes. With three or four exceptions the dead were killed instantly, the others dying on their way to the hospitals. The second section of the excursion, made up of persons from towns other than Bethlehem and Allentown, left soon after the first section, but was flagged before it reached Hatfield. As it could not get through on account of the blocked tracks it was returned to Bethlehem, and there was great rejoicing at the narrow escape of its occupants from the catastrophe. The coroner of Montgomery county visited the wreck early and spent the entire day at the scene. He directed the removal of the dead to Lansdale, a short distance south of Hatfield. He promises a rigorous investigation into the horror. Victims of the Hatfield Wreck. Bethlehem, Pa., Sept. 5. The condition of John Davis, the engineer of the excursion train which was wrecked on Sunday morning at Hatfield, Pa., where 13 persons were killed and 50 injured, is reported to be slightly worse. Fireman Albert Wagner, of the same train, is still in a critical condition. There were at least a dozen new cases of injured persons reported yesterday. The most serious of these are Mabel Klueb, who is paralyzed and lies in a critical condition, Mrs. Howard Edelman, who is suffering from severe internal injuries, and Miss Laura King, who has been unconscious for 48 hours.

Broad St. THE PLANET SATURDAY, SEPT 8, 1900 EVACUATION OF PEKIN Seems Far From the Intentions of European Governments. KEEPING AN EYE ON RUSSIANS. Their Proceedings in and Around the Chinese Capital Watched With Some Anxiety-Situation Threatens London, Sept. 5. "Six months' rations for the British forces," says the Tien Tsin correspondent of The Standard wiring Aug. 27, "are being forwarded to Pekin. Newspaper correspondents are seriously handicapped by the bad arrangement of the Chinese telegraphs. Messages have been obtained and tampered with, and nothing has been safe unless mailed to Shanghai. A good deal of curiosity is felt here regarding the fate of the mail bag containing official and press dispatches describing the entry into Pekin, which was sent by an admiral to Chefoo in a Russian gunboat and is reported not to have been received there. "The proceedings of the Russians in and around Pekin are watched with some anxiety. The situation threatens to develop many complications. It is said that the Russians intend to take Shan-Hai-Kwan. They have assumed complete possession of the Hai-Ku arsenal at Tien Tsin and allow admission to none but Russians. The arsenal still contains thousands of pounds worth of guns and ammunition. "The Russians are charged with cutting the wire between this point and Pekin and with committing various other petty annoyances." Regarding the evacuation of Pekin, says the correspondent of The Times at Tokio, the Japanese government will pursue the course approved by a majority of the powers. One reason for the delay in getting news from Pekin doubledess is the anxiety of the Chinese authorities to procure the evacuation of the capital. No effort is being spared by them to bring this about. Their idea is that, should the foreign ministers in Pekin be allowed free communication with the governments, the full extent of the complicity of the Chinese government in the anti-foreign outrages would be revealed and would lead the allies to decide to remain until retribution had been. According to Shanghai advices, Li Hung Chang wired the Chinese minister in London, Sir Chi Shen, Lofengluh, as follows: "Our St. Petersburg minister has persuaded Russia to leave Pekin. You are useless if you cannot persuade England." There is no sign as yet of any decision on the part of the powers regarding the Russian proposals. The Japanese papers unreservedly condemn the idea of evacuating Pekin, and hint that there is a secret compact between Germany and Russia to the detriment of Great Britain and Japan. Li Hung Chang, Yung Lu, Hsu Tung and Prince Ching, whom an imperial edict has appointed peace commissioners, constitute a radically antiforeign commission. Hsu Tung, guardian of the heir apparent, is especially obnoxious. Three of the commissioners are manchus. 14 Indicates That Messages Will Hercerate Be Dated. Washington, Sept. 5.—A very interesting dispatch was received yesterday at the war department from Gen. Chaffee. It described the military situation as eminently satisfactory, and would have been of greater value but for the omission common to all of the other official dispatches from China, namely, the date line. However, taking into consideration the fact that a cablegraph was received by the state department yesterday dated Aug. 30 from Mr. Conger, the conclusion was reached that Gen. Chaffee's dispatch also was sent from Pekin about Aug. 29 or 30. Gen. Chaffee asks a very important question as to the withdrawal of American troops. The answer to that question, it is said, might have been found in the state department's answer to the Russian evacuation proposition. But that answer, or rather a synopsis of it, was not cabled to Gen. Chaffee until the 30 ultimo, and it is assumed that, allowing for the same time in transmittal as was consumed by Gen. Chaffee's dispatch, the synopsis has just reached him. It is stated that no order has been sent to Gen. Chaffee to leave Pekin as the result of any recent development. In fact it would seem that the war department is not able to instruct him more specifically on this point until the decision of the powers relative to general evacuation is known. It was stated at the war department that our position was unchanged; if Russia withdraws her troops then Gen. Chaffee will do the same. Meanwhile it is gathered that conditions in China are still disordered, and foreign life and property are still unsafe. The dispatch received from Minister Conger, aside from bringing the information up to a recent day, satisfied the officials that the minister at last had received instructions to include the place and date of each message as an integral part of it. This promises to do away with the great confusion caused thus far in dateless messages. The text of the Conger dispatch was not made public, but it was authoritatively stated that it did not change the situation, and was devoted somewhat to expressions of opinion. It was authoritatively stated in this connection that Minister Conger will remain at his post until further orders. Trying to Save An Industry. Paterson, N. J., Sept. 5—Last night a number of prominent business men met to discuss ways and means to keep the Rogers locomotive from being closed down in pursuance of Jacob S.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA A NEW ALLY FOR BRYAN Senator Wellington, of Maryland, Joins the Democratic Party. HIS OPPOSITION TO M'KINLEY. Declarea His "Uniterable Antagonism to the Policy of Imperialism" and His "Opposition to the Representative of That Vicious Principle" Cumberland, Md., Sept. 5.—The opening of the Democratic campaign for the states of Maryland and West Virginia at this place last night was rendered memorable by the appearance on the same form of the Democratic national standard bearer. Hon. William J. Bryan, and United States Senator George L. Wellington, was elected as a Republican. Both these distinguished gentlemen were in good voice, and both spoke with their accustomed force. Senator Wellington's speech marked his formal renunciation of party ties on account of the issues growing out of the war with Spain. He had for this reason prepared his speech with care and he read it from typewritten manuscript. The journey of the presidential candidate across the state was not devoid of labor for him, for while he left the train but once on the journey, he made a number of brief addresses from the rear platform of the blindmost car. The principal meeting here was held at the Academy of Music, beginning at 8 o'clock. Mr. Bryan entered the hall a few minutes before that hour and GEORGE L. WELLINGTON was received with a volume of applause which fairly shook the building. The hall was crowded to its dome, and the meeting was a very enthusiastic one throughout. Hon. Frederick Williams presided. Senator Wellington made the first speech of with evening. He was listened to with interest, and was frequently applauded, although times there were very pronounced hisses. In the course of his address Wellington said: "I am here tonight to declare my unalterable antagonism to the policy of imperialism and my opposition to the representative of that vicious principle. It is an occasion of more than ordinary importance for any man to antagonize the political party which he has served for a quarter of a century, to which he has given the best years of his life, and for which he has achieved some success. It brings much bitterness and vituperation. The vials of wrath have already been opened upon me, and there will be much that is unpleasant in the work I have to do. I have, however, determined to do that which I believe to be for the best interest of my country, and in the performance of my duty I find it necessary not only to oppose the re-election of President McKinley, but to emphasize that position by supporting his antagonist, who in this election stands for free government according to the constitution." The outside or overflow meeting was far larger than that on the inside of the Academy, which it adjoined. There was a large attendance of people there from Pennsylvania, as well as from Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia. This meeting was entertained by other speakers before Mr. Bryan emerged from the hall. The meeting was presided over by William Deveman, who introduced Blair Lee. He was followed by Col. L. Victor Baughman, who upon concluding his speech introduced ex-Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Bryan's speech here was a discussion of imperialism. Republican Unity in Tennor Nashville, Sept. 5.—The Republican factions in Tennessee will almost certainly get together and present a united front to the Democrats. Committees of conference from each faction met here yesterday, and it is said they have about agreed upon a plan of compromise. The Evans men will withdraw their candidate for governor leaving John E. McCall, the Brownlow candidate, a clear field against McMillin, D. W. Owen, the Evans candidate for railroad commissioner, will be placed on the ticket with McCall. The Evans men will be given one elector for the state at large and the electors in the Third, Fifth, Sixth and Tenth districts. 1900 SEPTEMBER 1900 Su. Mo. Tu. We. Th. Fri.

Men Who Laughed When Bullets Hit Them—The Work of a Tor- pedo—A Fly Crawl. Capt. Ruthen W. Houghton, 525 West Fourteenth avenue, has just received a pension of $30 per month for services valiantly performed. He is a striking old gentleman of about 60 of massive frame, and clear, youthful face, and to an admiring youthful friend who congratulated him or his good fortune he drifted back immediately into reminiscences of the war, which he told with an inimitable grace and humor, says the Denver Post. Capt. Houghton was brought up in Haverhill, Mass., and enlisted with the Third New Hampshire as first sergeant of A company on July 27, 1861 and served with the Army of the South under Sherman till October, 1864, when sickness forced him to leave the service. In the action at Seccessionville, S. C., on June 12, 1862, many of the officers of the regiment were killed and Mr. Houghton was promoted to second lieutenant. He fought at Port Royal in 1861, and at Bermuda Hundred, Drury's Bluff, and Deep Run in Virginia in 1864, but the engagement he loves to tell about was the series of battles beginning at Morris island on July 10, 1863, and ending with the assault of Fort Wagner on September 7 of the same year. "We were under fire every day for these two months, you understand," he said. "But see here now," as his modesty began to battle with his recollections, "you don't want me to tell you about this. There are plenty of other people. Did I see Col. Shaw, of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts, killed! Yes, I did. There was a fine officer, now. And let me tell you, too, those colored troops of his were about as fine fellows as there were in the army. I remember that charge as if it were only yesterday. "We lay there on the sand hills in our intrenchments all day," he continued, as his face lit up with a smile of humor and recollection. "We had been under fire from Forts Wagner Moultrie, Sumpter and countless batteries hidden in the sand. Out in the harbor a whole line of federal monitors and gunboats had been battering away at the secrec all day, but they were in sand batteries, and the shots didn't do much harm. "Just at sunset—it was the 18th of July, if I remember rightly—Gen Strong rode up, and, passing between the platoons said quietly: 'Boys, I want you to take that fort, and I don't want you to fire a shot. Use your bayonets.' And we didn't. We marched up to within 20 yards of the fort, under a perfect rain of shot. Alvin Libbey, our adjutant general, rode directly up to the breastworks and was shot in two by a grapehot, and pulled into the fort. "Whole companies were cut to pieces, especially among Shaw's colored troops, who never finched. But we couldn't get any further. Strong ordered Col. Jackson to take his men back to the intrenchments. Just as he gave the order a round shot took away the breast of Col. Jackson's coat, and at the same time Gen. Strong put his hand to his leg. 'Are you hit? asked Jackson. 'Not much, I guess,' laughed Strong. "I was standing close at the time, and you can't imagine the strangeness of hearing two men laughing about being hit with all that racket around them. Most of the events of battle one doesn't remember, but that is as clear a picture to me as the moun- "ARE YOU HIT?" ASKED JACKSON, tains yonder. Gen. Strong died from his wound less than a fortnight later, while on his way home." Capt Houghton himself received three wounds during his service, two of which were scratches and the other a wound in the forehead which left a large but almost imperceptible scar. He had to be persuaded to talk about himself and wouldn't say anything about his wound for some time. Finally he related how he, then a first lieutenant, was sent on the night of August 31 to make a reconfiance of Fort Wagner, where the confederates were suspected of making a sally. "It was awfully dark. We crawled out over the intrenchments, one at a time, across the sand, making for a little ditch right under their walls. I was in front and had told the men to follow, when I heard a shot. I looked around, a bit dazed, but couldn't see any of the boys. I guessed they must be coming, though, so I went into the ditch. I waited two or three minutes, but nobody came. Then Corporal Bigsbee crawled in, looking queer, though it was so dark I could scarcely see him. 'Where are the boys?' I whispered. He looked up at me, shook his head and said nothing. I asked him twice more and then fearing we were discovered, I crawled back to the intrenchments. "On the way I ran across the body of one of the boys and a big hole. That shot I heard was a torpedo. I must have passed directly over it myself, but didn't happen to hit the cap. "Well, we were up all that night, and next day as I was pretty well tired, I lay down on a tarpaulin on a little slope inside our lines. The boys fixed a blanket to keep the sun off and I guess I must have gone to sleep though there was a fearful racket too. Anyway, the next thing I knew I was lying down at the foot of that sand hill, and Charles A. White, my second lieutenant, was standing over me tying up my head. I felt something moving up here over my eye and thought it was a fly, and when I put up my hand to brush it away it was blood. My arm was all shot full of powder, too, though I didn't know it at the time. The whole thing didn't amount to much, though the doctors tell me that is what fixed me as I am now," for the captain has in recent years become a paralytic, and moves with much difficulty. PLEASURE BEFORE BUSINESS An Incident That Called Forth a Reversal of the Axiom by General Palmer. "Speaking of rain," said the colonel relates the Chicago Inter Ocean "most of the Army of the Cumberland have good reason to remember the campaign in 1863 against Tullahoma. Our division, Palmer's, moved forward in splendid condition, and ready, we thought, for anything that could turn up, but we were not ready for the continuous rain that came upon us. If rained day and night, made the road like mortar beds, filled the streams so that we could not cross them, washed away bridges and flooded whole districts. One day our regiment stopped in front of a house with a wide, comfortable porch. While we sat there in the rain Gen. Palmer rode up and took "PLEASURE BEFORE BUSINESS." a seat on the porch, sheltered from the rain. "It it was soon noised about that the command had been halted while the engineers reported as to whether the stream in front was fordable, or, as the boys put it, whether it was more than chin deep. A cavalryman galloped back from the front, rode up to the porch, threw the reins of his horse to an orderly, and started up the steps with his saber clanking, when a young lady standing in the door sprang forward, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. This unexpected greeting caused the company standing neat to cheer, and there were shouts of 'Pass it around; don't keep a good thing all to yourself.' Gen. Palmer turned and, taking in the scene, said, grimly: 'Pleasure before business. When you get through, young man, will you report to me?" "The cavalryman turned embarrassed, saluted and reported that the stream in front was not fordable, and that the water would not probably run out for four hours. 'And you are glad of it, I suppose,' said the general. 'I don't understand this way of doing business, but you probably do; but I want to say one thing, the next time you carry a message attend to business before pleasure.' While the general waited on the porch our regiment marched off and went into camp in what the boys called a goose pasture. When the men learned that the young lady who had given the cavalryman such a hearty greeting was simply a sweetheart of his at Murfreesboro they lost interest in the case. They had hoped that she was some southern girl) who had met him previous to the war. Farthest North Civil War Fights. During the last term of the Schuyler county court a discussion arose among the attorneys one evening as to the location of the most northern battle of the civil war. Several of the United States histories refer to Lee's attack on Meade at Gettysburg as the scene of the most northern battle. There was a skirmish at Lancaster in November, 1861, and a regular pitched battle at Athens, in Clarke county, Mo., in which several were killed on both sides. The latter fight occurred the first Monday in August of that year. Both of these points are 60 or 70 miles north of Gettysburg, and were close to the Iowa line. In all three of these northern battles of the war the federals were victorious. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. No Alternative "That's a terrible noise in the nursery, Mollie," said the mistress.

THEY NEVER GOSSIP. Salt Lake Barber Shop Where Knight of the Rasor Are Forbidden to Spend to Patrons. One of the curiosities in Salt Lake City that is not on the guise books is a barber shop connected with one of the leading hotels. It is widely known among travelling men for its great peculiarity, but strangers in town are continually surprised when they cover its unique feature. A tourist not long ago went through the customary experience. He was is rather bad humor, and as he threw A THE BARBER SAID NOT A WORD. himself into one of the chairs he announced: "No, I don't want a haircut. I want a shave, and that's all." The barber said nothing but lowered the chair and began his lathering. "Now, I know it's a fine day," said the customer, still savage. No answer. A few minutes elapsed. The barber worked industriously, but said nothing. "I don't want a shampoo," said the customer, presently. Silence still. "Nor a sea foam, nor any tonic, nor my hair singed." No reply. "Say," said the stranger, "what's the matter with you?" The barber said nothing. The stranger paid his check, wonderingly, and noticed that the room was silent as a reference library. He told a friend about it later, and learned that he had been shaved by one of "the silent barbers." Urged on by the jokes in the comic papers and by the comments of customers the proprietor of this shop decided some time ago to conduct a shop in which there should be absolutely no talking. BOY TO DEPEND UPON Why Jones, the Meanest Man in Philadelphia, Was Thankful That He Had a Son. The Philadelphia Inquirer asserts, without fear of successful contradiction, that Jeremiah Jones, of that city, is even meaner than the man who split up his wife's tombstone to repair his doorstep. Jones was an inverteate tobacco smoker, but, as his wife detested the practice and made home tempestuous and stormy for him when he indulged in the habit there, he always smoked when away during the day, and declared to his better half that he had stopped permanently. But one evening, upon entering the front door, and drawing out his handkerchief, he accidentally VICARIOUS ATONEMENT. pulled out his pouch of tobacco, and left it lying on the floor. When Jones sat down to his supper his wife walked in with the tobacco in her hand, and, looking Jones firmly in the eye, said: "Do you know who this belongs to?" With great presence of mind Jones turned scowling to his eldest son and said, with a severe voice: "Immortal Mars! Is it possible that you have begun to smoke? You young reprobate! Where'd you get that nasty stuff? What d'you mean by such conduct, you young villain? Haven't I told you often enough to let tobacco alone? Come here to me or I'll tear the coat off you!" As he spoke the stern father made a grab at the boy and dragged him out into the hallway, where he chastised him with a cane. Then Jones threw the tobacco over the fence, where he went out and got it the next morning and enjoyed it during the day. "Merciful heavens!" he exclaimed, when he told us about it. "What should I have done if my children had all been girls? It makes an old father's heart glad when he feels that he has a boy he can depend upon in such emergencies." MUSIC AND DRAMA Sarah Bernhardt's idea of a holiday is "to go to bed in a quiet room, stay there during the day reading and dozing, dine in slippers and dressing gown in the evening, and as soon as convenient thereafter go back to bed." American singers are certainly in great favor in England. On the occasion of the recent royal concert at Windsor the queen gave Miss Fanchon Thompson a diamond brooch. Upon the same occasion she similarly favored Suzanne Adams. Mme. Patti, who has made only one public appearance in London this season, sang at a concert given recently by Mr. Alfred de Rothschild, whose house is the only one, by the way, at which the prima donna accepts a private engagement. The programme also included two performances by the youthful violinist, Kubelik. On the way from her home in Australia to Europe to complete her musical education is a young woman who claims to have a voice of higher range than that of Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, and consequently to be able to sing a higher note than anybody in the world. She is a Miss Bertha Bird, of Melbourne. She sings several notes beyond F altissimo, and ranges all five C's. Charles H. Hoyt has been a prolific writer of plays, the following being a full list of his productions: "Gifford's Luck," "A Bunch of Keys," "Gozella," "A Parlor Match," A Rag Baby," "A Tin Soldier," "A Hole in the Ground," "A Midnight Bell," "A Brass Monkey," "A Texas Steer," "A Temperance Town," "A Black Sheep," "A Trip to Chinatown," "A Milk-White Flag," "A Contented Woman," "A Stranger in New York," "A Day and a Night in New York," and "A Dog in the Manger." It will be remembered that Madee Adams made one of her first successes in the part of Dot Bradbury in "A Midnight Bell." WITH THE CYCLISTS. The law forbids cyclists to ride "hands off." Forty-two inventions relating to cycles were taken out last year by women. The first member of the royal family to ride a cycle was the duchess of Albany. A cycle factory in Philadelphia was turning out machines last year at the rate of one minute. A cycle race in midocean took place some time ago on the Empress of Japan, bound for Vancouver. Trade may not be active just now, but the bicycle thief is doing all in his power to keep the wheels moving. The pedigree of the cycle has been traced as far back as 1731, when the first velocipede is said to have been built. The newest war will not injure the Chinese cycle trade, for, says the Cycle Gazette, there isn't any Chinese cycle trade to speak of. A trick cyclist, McDonnell by name, once offered to ride a cycle across a wire stretched across Niagara falls, and would have made the attempt had he not been forbidden by the authorities. Cycling is good for the nerves. If you undertake to ride on city streets where there is heavy traffic, either you will get nervous and get scared off, or you will gain nerve and become an accomplished rider. The boy who can tread his way among a maze of street cars and wagons will never be the victim of an accident that is his fault. ASSASSINATIONS OF CENTURY Emperor Paul, Russia, choked, in 1801.

The other evening when I called she said she had been eating green onions and hoped I would excuse her. Since then she has hardly spoken to me." "That's curious. What did you say when she excused herself?" "Let me see! Why. I merely told her not to mind; that it would be an easy matter for me to keep far enough away not to be disturbed." "Oh!"—Chicago Times-Herald. When They Are Constant, "After all," said the philosopher, thoughtfully, "woman is an emotional, uncertain creature. She is not constant even in love." "What's that!" exclaimed the man with the clouded brow. "Not constant in affairs of the heart! Well just you try to jilt one once and see what happens when the case gets into court."—Chicago Post. SCIENCE AND HEALTH. A French physician, Dr. Hervieux, has made investigations which indicate that flies spread smallpox. Experiments by Prof. Loeb show that chemically salt is fatal to fish, though present in the same proportions as in sea water. It is agreed that it is useful to animals, but the mixture of it with other salts renders it nontoxic, as proved by his further experiments. Messrs. Macfadyan and Rowland report that they have exposed various micro-organisms to the temperature of liquid air for some days without finding that the vitality of the organisms was impaired in any way, except that in one or two cases their growth was slightly delayed. A successful operation has been performed in St. Luke's hospital, New York city. A tumor was removed from the inside of the sheath of the spinal cord. It was necessary to cut into six vertebrae, and the patient was kept under anaesthetics for more than three hours. He was operated upon after a number of German specialists had pronounced that his ailment was rheumatism. THE WORLD OVER. Australia coins its own gold, but not its silver. The scabbards worn by Russian officers are made of papier mache. In the United Kingdom one person in every 214 uses the telephone. One hundred thousand tons of apples are raised on British soil yearly. In Paris fine human hair of fashionable color is sold for as much as $250 a pound by dealers. The deserts of Arabia are specially remarkable for the pillars of sand which are raised by the whirlwinds. All kinds of meat are inexpensive in Australia, especially mutton, which sells as low as one penny a pound. Fish costs even less. So useful are toads in gardens that they are sold in France by the dozen for stocking gardens, to free them from many injurious insects. Wooden Protest "Ah," quoth an Edinburgh gentleman to a manufacturer of artificial limbs, as he was being shown over the latter's busy factory the other day, "these pieces of timber"—"pointing to a lot of wooden legs"—"are but so many eloquent protests against the horrors of war." "Exactly," answered the manufacturer — "stump speeches!" — London Answers. The Angel Without Wings.

TROUBLE AT LANCASTER—NO SEPARATION WANTED. LANCASER F.A., Sept. 4—Columbia, this county, has a large colored population, and the question of separate schools for white and colored pupils has been under agitation for a long term. The public schools opened this morning, the school board having provided separate schools with colored teachers for the colored children. This did not suit the colored parents who accompanied their children to the white schools and demanded their admission. This was refused, and the colored children were directed to go to their own schools. In the meantime the report was circulated that the colored children were being admitted, and the parents of many of the white pupils as peared on the scene and took their children away. The question is still open with both sides showing no evidence of giving in. FROM HARTFORD Mr Marchel Robinson, formerly of Hartford, died in New York two weeks ago.

The girder was being placed on two iron columns, on top of which were three of the construction force.
