Miss Jewett an Attraction. She Speaks from A Carriage. VOL XVII NO39 A GREAT The Ablest Two Thou President Morr Re-elect Train after train-load of delegates and visitors poured into the city on Tuesday and Wednesday last to attend the annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention. Fifth Street Baptist Church at which place the sessions of the convention were to be held was the scene of activity which beggars description. Trunks, satchels, supplies of meat, flour, and food of all kinds could be seen at this spacious edifice. It was seen at once that the attempt to entertain, feed and lodge the convention was a success. REV. Dr. GRAHAM'S EFFORT. Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham and his corps of workers had systematized the undertaking with such accuracy that all who wrote to him before hand knew just where to go before they reached the city. It was estimated that one thousand delegates would be present, but it was easily ascertained that this number was exceeded. Promptly at 10 a. m. Wednesday morning President E. O. Morris of Arkansas rapped the gavel. Rev. Wm. H. Phillips of Philadelphia, Rev. O. O. Phillips of B. D. Rev. D. D. the religious Louisville, Ky. conducted the religious exercises. A BRILLIANT GATHERING It was a brilliant assemblage. From the rostrum to the door it was a mass of the ablest colored theologians in the country. Rev. Dr. Graham was the observer of all observers. With a satisfied smile upon his countenance, he moved about the church, responding instantly to all demands made upon him. He had a private telephone put in the church building thereby coming in touch with the entire city. Mr. Charles G. Jurgen's & Son sent a wagonload of furniture for the use of REV. A. A. COSEY. Clarksville. Miss. the convention, and Mr. Wise Ellis was seen bringing in the same. A vote of thanks was returned. An address of welcome on the part of the Fifth Street Baptist Church was made by Miss Anna Bell Ellis. It embraced many timely utterances and excellent remarks and the speaker was repeatedly interrupted with applause. Gov. J. Hoge Tyler and Mayor R. M. Taylor were not present, and Editor John Mitchell Jr delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city. He declared that the National Baptist Convention was welcome. He paid a glowing tribute to the efforts of Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, advocated racial independence and responsibility and after being repeatedly interrupted by applause closed amidst an ovation which was repeated again and again after he had taken his seat. Rev. W. R. Gullina, pastor of the A. M. E. Church remarked that he had been always advised never to go to sea GATHERING HERE. in a storm. He nevertheless disregarded the advice and won the favor of the assemblage by eitings what had been accomplished by the Negroes of the A. M. E. Church. His remarks were timely and illustrations to the point. He was raptuously applauded. Rev. D. W. Davis, the poet and humorist welcomed the convention in well chosen remarks, interspersed with poetic selections. He was in his happiest mood and the audience vied with him in his flights of oratory longly applauding him at the close. Never has he spoken with more telling effect. Then followed the Rev. J. Edward Gunby, the pastor of the Leigh Street M. E. Church. He gave a humorous illustration of his predicament on the programme and welcomed the convention. Rev Alexander McGuire, pastor of the St. Philips P. E. Church was in his best mood and his use of language well suited to the occasion, won the instant approval of the house which was shown time and, again as he proceeded with his most excellent remarks. Rev W. E. Partee, pastor of the Colored PRESBYTERIAN Church, joined in the welcome and was most liberally applauded at the close. In keeping with the welcome was the response by Rev W. A. Creditt of Philadelphia and Rev. C. M. Welis of Montgomery, who again awakened the echoes in the convention. The feature of the convention on Wednesday morning was the able and scholarly sermon of Rev. G. B. Howard D. D., Pittsburg Pa. He discussed "The mind of Christ." He said that the Negro had a splendid example in the life of Christ, and if he would follow it, instead of trying to go after every little man who came along claiming to be a leader, he would get along much better. He discussed the work of the negro Baptist and what they are doing for the world, especially the National Baptist Convention. THE DUTY OF THE CONVENTION The president stated that it was the duty of the convention to work for him. duty of the convention to work for humanity and not so much for race alone. He called attention to the suffering men and women in Texas, by reason of a recent storm, and appealed to the convention for a collection. The delegates responded liberally, and a committee was appointed to express the sympathy of the convention to the sufferers, and another collection will be taken during the session. The convention took a recess for dinner, which was served in the lecture room by a colleague. Rev. Dr. A. N. McEwen, of Mobile, Ala., presided during the afternoon session. J. H. Eason of Anniston, Ala. editor of the "Baptist Leader," and author of a work touching the doctrine of the Baptist Church, led the devotional exercises. THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Some preliminaries are caused out, and then Dr. E. C. Morris, the president of the convention, delivered his annual address. He said in part: "The conditions in this country have forced the negroes to be separate in their churches, associations, and conventions from their white brethren, and these smaller organizations have by reason of the same conditions, been forced to form this national body. Since we have the National Baptist Convention, it is imperative that it has a high and noble object; and as this object has been clearly defined, it is unnecessary that I should attempt to bring it before you." THE AMERICAN BAPTIST HOME MISSION SOCIETY. Prof. Morris addressed himself at some length to the work of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, on which he spoke as "among the many agencies which God sent to redeem." RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPT. 15, 1900. J.L.C. REV. C. T. WALKER, D. D., Pastor Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, New York City. and lift up our people." He spoke of the work of the Board with pride, and added: "It was a hazardous undertaking, made, as it was, at the close of one of the most marvellous centuries since the dawn of creation, at a time when art, science, and literature were at their genius and when the more advanced races were vying among themselves as to which could produce the best and most acceptable literature for the vast army of Christian readers. For a people only thirty years from slavery to undertake such a project, was indeed perilous. As was expected, criticism came thick and fast. but our manager, a man who lays no claim to an education, was well prepared to receive all that came. A HEAVY INCREASE When fourteen thousand Baptist Sunday schools, instead of nine thousand, as we now have are honest, faithful patrons of our Publishing Board, we will be prepared to remove even the little objections which are now raised. In this connection, I wish to say to the negro Baptists of the world, and to those of this state in particular, that if you would occupy a place in the sacred history of to day which is to be read by unborn generations, you will have to ally yourselves with these distinct and separate enterprises, fostered and managed by the race; otherwise, the passing of your life will be REV. C. T. W. Pastor Mt. Olivet Baptist like the duration of a meteor or shooting star, while your fellows who have endeavored to leave a distinct heritage will be as fixed stars in the gase of future generations. Every race must make and write its own history. STANDS FOR ALL The work of the Publishing Board stands for all there is in the negro Bapt. family, so far as Christian literature is concerned, and we predict thus before the close of the first decade of the twentieth century, all will be in line to encourage and support this marvelous undertaking." RE-ELECTED BY ACOLAMATION At the conclusion of Dr. Morris's ad- dress the following resolutions were offered by Rev. W. Justin Waytes and adopted: A REMARKABLE TRIBUTE. Whereas, we have listened with inexpressible delight to the able, practical, and scholarly address of President Morris, an address or doctor and worthy of our deepest consideration and support: Resolved, That we suspend the rule committing the address to a committee, and adopt the same as the sentiment of the negro Baptist, and as a mark of our appreciation of the administrative ability of Dr. Morris, we do hereby suspend the rule and elect him president of the convention by acclamation. No one objected to this motion, and it passed. DOING FOR THEMSELVES. Some pointed remarks were made touching the position of the negro as to his own condition in this country. Rev. Dr. J. Anderson Taylor, of Washington, D. C. said the negro Baptists who were trying to do something for themselves, were not opposed to the white people, did they desire to get away from them? And were trying to do something for themselves as the white people desired them to do. "The white people do not want you to always be around begging ALKER, D. D., Church, New York City. them," he said, "but they think you should do for yoursef, and this is what we are trying to do." Dr. G. W. Lee, of Washington, declared that it was out of the question for any negro to talk about reigning in this country, for the white man had fixed himself and was ready to take care of any negro who came against him. The convention then took a recess for supper. REV. DR. BOWLING PRESIDES. Rev Dr. R. H. Bowling, pastor of Butte St. Baptist Church at Norfolk Va., presided at the night session, and Dr. E. B. Topp, of Jackson, Miss. conducted the devotional exercises. Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett. who carried Postmaster Baker's family to Boston entered the church. She was assured later by Pres. E. C. Morris that she would be introduced to the convention. Rev. D. Stratton of West Virginia delivered an address. Dr. A. M Johnson, of Vicksburg, Miss., preached an able sermon on the missionary work among the heathens. The vast congregation joined Secretary Ann in singing, "Savior More the Life to Me." A collection for Fpreign Mission was lifted. Thursday morning, Sept 18th, 1900.—The convention was called to order at 9 a.m. Vice-President Dr. J. Durham of Georgia preiding.

Parrish. D. D. of Kentucky delivered a powerful address upon the subject. "How all Baptists May Cooperate in World-wide Mission." It was one of the ablest productions of the convention. The Fifth Annual Report of the Home Mission Board together with the Eighth Annual Report of the National Baptist Publication Board immediate favor as Rev. R. H. Boyd, the Secretary presented it to the convention. "It is a source of great pleasure to us to render to you to day, as representatives of the sixteen thousand Negro Baptist Churches of America, an account of our stewardship of the trusts committed to us by your votes. Allow us to express our heartfelt thankfulness to our Heavenly Father for His spiritual guidance and manifold blessings, in this, our labor of love. We are not unmindful of the great confidence that you repose in us, as your servants and representatives, in our worth to execute in your name the resurrection of King, Great High Priest, only Law Giver and Elder Brother, Christ. "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel so every creature," etc. "During the past twelve months of our stewardship, we have sustained some b reavements, a few discouragements, together with a little apparent opposition and hindrance; but when we compare the blessings and encouragement in business circles, the unparalleled success and spiritual guidance of our missionaries on the field, together with the hearty support and brotherly co operation of our pastors, churches and Sunday school workers in our publication work, they seem too small and insignificant to mention. For the benefit of those who are not so well acquainted with our plan of work, manner of reports, and general management of affairs, allow us to increased our Bible work, increase in the circulation, day School periodicals, a increased in the number of f and pamphlets publish forth.

One of the most unfortunate occurrences in the otherwise peaceful National Baptist Convention was the failure to accord to Miss LILLIAN CLAYTON MASS MEETING. Rev. L. N. Cheek, Canton, Miss. Miss E.

JEWETT of Boston a hearing before that body. Miss Jewett is the white lady who went to South Carolina and carried the family of Post-master Baker (colored) to Boston, Mass. where they now reside. She will be remembered that poor Fraser B. Baker was shot down in the night-time while his house was in flames and his wife and children wounded. The government has never done anything for them. CRUSADE AGAINST LYNCHING. Miss Jewett has undertaken a lecturing tour against lynching and desired to be introduced and permitted REV. W. F. GRAHAM, D.

Matters reached a crisis on Thursday morning last at about noon, when she announced from the gallery of the convention that she would speak in the street. A large number followed her and a carriage having been secured she addressed the assembly. She said: "I would have spoken to you if I had to go to the top of the house to do it. My grand-father was an anti-slave y man. MORE ABOUT THE BAKER FAMILY. When I took the Baker family to Boston I did it to show the North how the situation really is. I did it that they might see for themselves. I had a citizens Committee to whom were to be the funds. Some of them were dishonored and them stand aside, hence this fight on me by one of them, who took the funds. I stand here with my white skiu which will fight for you and for me. My REV. R. H. BOYD, D. D. Manager National Bapt. Publ'ing, House. friends are here and they will protect me." About this time the people were pouring out of the church like bees out of a hive and a cry for those on the steps to move on so that others could get out was loud and corrent. AN INDUCEMENT TO MURDER. Miss Jewett continued: "A body of white men offered $1,000 to any one who would murder me. You may murder me and get your $1,000 but I shall continue to speak for you as long as I live. CONTINUED ON EIGHTH PAGE.

Just beyond the world of workers, Where the highways meet, Just beyond the tireless traffic, And the crowded street, There is still the cloistered silence, Slender veil between, Where the soul hath calm and shelter From the thronging scene. Just beyond the temple pavement, Where the contrite knee! Just beyond the trembling twilight Where the shadows steal. There is still the golden staircase By the angels trod. There is still the homeward pathway To the hills of God. Just beyond life's banquet chamber, When the guests are gone. When the lights burn low and dimly, And the heart's alone. There is still the shining Presence, Dear Jesus and adored. Of the long-rejected Jesus, Life's forgotten Lord. Just beyond the sign and symbol Of the old world scroll, Just beyond the cross and darkness Where the thunders roll; There is still the living Spirit, And the land of love; There is still the crown-crest kingdom, All the world above. —Rev. Fred A. Jackson, in Boston Watchman. THE REALITY OF SIN. Its Potency Is as Great as Ever Even Though Language and Science Have Dulled Sensitiveness to It. Thomas Fuller, in his quaint way, had a genius for getting at the heart of things, and never more so than in his comment on sin as it comes in the form of temptation and as it appears in the memory in the form of action. "Before I commit a sin," wrote Fuller, "it items to me so shallow that I may wade through it dry-shed from any guiltiness; but when I have committed it, it often seems so deep that I cannot escape without drowning." Much of the old phraseology in which the preachers endeavored to carry this truth home to the consciousness of bearers or readers has lost its force, but the fact remains precisely what it was in the days when the Puritan did not think about sin as an abstraction, but as an ever-present reality. The great preachers of our time, like the great preachers of all time, have hated moral evil of every sort, and have not lost clear vision of it by reason of the higher average of general conduct and the increasing orderliness of society. There is as much moral peril in the world as ever in its history, and that peril still takes on all its old forms with many new ones which are even more subtle and beguiling, born of the refinement of the age and the temptations which are presented by a luxury which is not a sin in itself, but which often weakens the fiber of the nature and prepares for an irremedible catastrophe. Sin as a fact in individual life is not diminished in force or in significance by scientific statements of its character, by greater light thrown upon inheritance and environment, nor by philosophical explanations which seem to wear off its edges and make it less monstrous. It still does precisely what it has always done; sears the conscience, weakens the diminishes the moral sensitiveness and sets in process a disintegration of character which, unless it is arrested, involves ultimate wreckage. In this age, when the facts of sin seem to have receded in the background, it is well to reread Dante in order that, in the graphic picture of a great literary artist, the blackness of moral evil and the hideousness of the things which come out of it and the results it leaves behind it may be clearly discerned. Neither science nor philosophy nor the larger knowledge of modern times has weakened the force of moral law or has taken from a violation of that law any of those appalling effects which Dante threw into such bold and terrifying relief in his pictures of the Inferno and of purgatory. Language has changed and symbolism has changed, but the law remains; the ethical structure of the universe is untouched. The relation of man to this invisible but inexorable order has not been modified: he still reaps what he sows, as he did in the days when the exiled poet of Florence felt the flames of hell beat on him.—N. Y. Outlook. Caring for What the World Says. Why will you keep caring for what the world says? Try, oh, try to be no longer a slave to it! You can have little idea of the comfort of freedom from it—it is bliss! All the caring for what people says is from pride. Hoist your flag, and abide by it. In an infinitely short space of time all secret things will be divulged. Therefore, if you are misjudged, why trouble yourself to put yourself right? You have no idea what a great deal of trouble it saves you. Roll your burden on God, and He will make straight your mistakes. He will set you right with those with whom you have set yourself wrong. Here I am, a lump of clay; thou are the potter. Mold me as thou in thy wisdom wilt. Never mind your cries. Cut my life off—so be it—prolong it—so be it. Just as thou wilt, but I rely on thy unchanging guidance during the trial. Oh, the comfort which comes from this!—Gen. Gordon. The Kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is not one of violence or forge. The seeds of Dilva grace are secure in the heart, and the man himself is responsible for their proper cultivation and for bringing them to perfection.—Rev. F. M. Bristol, Methodist, Washington, D. C. Vocal Exercise. The value of vocal exercise upon the general health is not sufficiently recognized by the majority, but those who have studied the matter tell us that even the practice of reading aloud has a great and beneficial influence upon the health. To quote the words of an authority: "Persons who have a tendency to pulmonary disease should methodically practice those actions of the body through which the chest is in part filled or emptied of air," and further advice is given to the effect that those whose chests are weak should read aloud at stated intervals and even recite or sing, using due caution as to posture and articulation. These regular exercises of the voice may be rendered as salutary to the organs of respiration as they are agreeable in their influence on the voice. Moreover, vocal exercise often improves the contour of a thin throat, and is thereby a beautifier.—Washington Star. Memory. "Where n the dickens is that vest of mine?" exclaimed the young married man on a hot morning a little while ago. He had decided to put on his thinnest serge. In the closet he found his trousers and coat, but the waistcoat was missing. The young married man searched in vain for the garment. He scolded and stormed to himself. Then he scolded the servant girl and set her to looking for the missing piece of wearing apparel. At last his wife was appealed to. "Clara, dear, where in the world is that blue vest of mine?" "Why, don't you remember, Frank, I used that last summer to piece out your trousers?" And the Y. M. M. remembered.—Detroit Free Press. Danilewsky's Flying Machine. Danilewsky's Flying Machine. A Russian inventor, K.Danilewsky, has recently experimented, under government auspices, with a flying-machine which combines the lifting power of a balloon with something resembling wing action. The balloon, says the Youth's Companion, is shaped like a projectile, and is small, being filled with pure hydrogen. Its assemblal forceis sufficient to neutralize the weight of the aeronaut and the apparatus. The latter consists of a system of movable aeroplanes and a steering tackle, by means of which the aeronaut guides the course of the balloon. In descending, the latter assumes an upright position. The immediate object of the experiments is to provide a dirigible balloon for the signal corps of the Russian army. A Lonely Neighborhood. The most lonely highlands of our national territory are the sparsely wooded sierras of western New Mexico. The clank of the woodcutters' ax echoes through the steepest glens of the European Alps and southern Alleghenies, but in the Sierra Mesa, west of El Paso, there are valleys where the moan of the wind in the branches of the rock pines is the only sound heard for days together. A kind of marmot is the only inhabitant of these solitudes and rarely leaves its burrows before noon. Birds are extremely rare, though a silent vulture now and then floats across the sky on its way to the cave labyrinth of the Gila river.—Chicago Chronicle. NORTH CAROLINA STATE AGRI CULTURAL FAIR.

Secretary Evarts' Letter of December 30, 1880, to the Picking Government May Prove Itself a Diplomatic Boomerang. [Special Washington Letter.] THERE is considerable talk in the newspapers about "indemnity" for the outrages which have been committed in China against foreigners temporarily resident in that empire. At the department of state the officials express the belief that there will be neither indemnity, reparation nor retribution for anything which has been done. Of course these officials do not talk for publication, because that would be contrary to the rules and precedents of the department, but in private conversation with personal friends they say that "indemnity" is practically out of the question. Li Hung Chang spoke for the imperial government when he said that the treasury of China is so depleted that no cash indemnity can be paid, and that the people of China will not permit any further concessions of territory to the countries interested. The word "indemnity" covers a great deal of ground in international law. It means a complaisant, friendly, fraternal effort on the part of the country in which the outrages have been committed to bring the criminals to justice and retribution; an effort to indemnify the sufferers for their wrongs, or to indemnify their heirs if human lives have been sacrificed; or reparation in the form of abject apology, if the national honor has been specifically involved. The utterances of Li Hung Chang indicate that the Chinese government does not intend to do any of these things, and the eminent oriental statesman speciously pleads the utter inability of the government of Peking to do anything more than publicly express regret for the consequences of the alleged insurrection. Present indications are that there will be no recognition of the fact that the national honor of any country has been involved. What other nations may do under these circumstances can only be conjectured. It is well known that all of the powers of the world cannot demand an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, because the invasion and destruction of the Chinese empire would be impossible. The reasons for this conclusion have heretofore been given with some degree of elaboration. This republic is very unfortunately circumstanced in the matter. It has always fought off the payment of in- A MASSACRE IN SHANTUNG demilitaries, and the admission of national responsibility for outrages committed in violation of treaty stipulations. There is one specific case in point which the Chinese government may well cite, and which it will undoubtedly cite. On December 30, 1880, William M. Evarts, our secretary of state, wrote officially to the Chinese minister in Washington as follows: "I know of no principle of national obligation, and there is certainly none arising from the stipulation, which renders incumbent the government of the United States to make indemnity to Chinese residents of Denver who, in common with the citizens of the United States, suffered losses by the operations of the mob. Whatever remedies may be offered to the citizens of Colorado, or to the citizens of the United States from other states, the union resident in Colorado, for losses resulting from that occurrence are equally open to the Chinese residents of Denver who may have suffered from the lawlessness of the mob." Twenty years ago China was a small factor in international affairs, and every nation snubbed her in diplomatic correspondence. The Chinese minister replied to Secretary Eavts, saying: "China must submit to your decision as to her citizens who have been outraged by a mob in Denver; but I venture the expression of opinion that if the cases were reversed the United States would be disposed to belligerently demand indemnity." The reverse side of the situation has come; and there stands the precedent established by this country. Citizens of China have suffered losses and have been deprived of their lives, and the Chinese government can readily apply to any demand for indemnity or retribution. "Your own government has established the precedent that prevents you from making any demand upon China. We have the identical letter of your Secretary Evarts on this question, and you are estopped from requiring of China what you declined to admit when our citizens were outraged and killed in your country." That will undoubtedly be the unanswerable position to be taken. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," is as true to-day as when it was first written; and it is as true of nations as it is of individuals. When our government declined to mete out justice to China, and to her outraged citizens, nobody could foresee the massacre of missionaries, their wives, children and the native converts. Nevertheless, the sense of justice and equity which is born in all men must have lived in the mind and heart of the great statesman who set aside justice and pleaded as Cain pleaded: "Am I my brother's keeper?" But Secretary Evarts was not the first statesman to set up this plea of non-responsibility. So great a man as Daniel Webster, when he was secretary of state, wrote a letter to the Spanish minister, on November 13, 1857, saying: "Private individuals, subjects of her Catholic majesty, coming to reside voluntarily in the United States, have certainly no cause of complaint if they are protected by the same law and the same administration of law as native born citizens of this country." Secretary Blain, in his letter to the Spanish minister, in reference to the A MASSACRE IN WYOMING. New Orleans riot of 1891, said: "The United States did not by treaty (with Italy), become the insurer of the lives and property of Italian subjects residing within our territory. . . . Foreign residents are not a favored class." That is the doctrine of American diplomacy, and it reads well from our standpoint. But when we are burning with indignation because of the outrages inflicted upon our own people in China it does not sound so well. The letter of Secretary Evarts to the Chinese minister, in 1880, applies directly to the present situation, and clearly demonstrates the difference between the selfishness of diplomacy and the justice of international procedure. Selfishness and self-seeking in nations ultimately prove to be as unfortunate and unwise as selfishness and self-seeking in individuals. It is particularly unfortunate that so-called Christian nations, living under the higher law, the law of love, should so place themselves. Public men in the legislative and executive branches of our government regard it as a matter of deep regret that the federal government has no power to punish violators of international law and of treaty stipulations. State law, in all such cases, is in the way of federal law and procedure. Here are a few examples of riots in our own country, in which the federal government was unable to punish the criminals: The riot in New Orleans in 1851, occasioned by a great threat and execution of some American filibuster, which citizens of New Orleans inflicted injury upon the persons and property of Spanish subjects. The riot in Denver, 1880, when two Chinese men were beaten to death and a number seriously maltreated. The riot at Rock Springs, Wyo., September, 1885, when 764 Chinamen were killed and wounded. The riot at New Orleans, in 1891, when 11 prisoners were taken from jail and put to death by a mob. There are other incidents, but these will suffice. In each instance it was found impossible, on account of local sentiment, to successfully prosecute the perpetrators of these outrages in the local courts, and, in most instances, it was impossible even to institute a prosecution. In each case the foreign country interested insisted and demanded that the United States government should assert its authority and bring the offenders to justice, and seemed incapable of understanding why the United States government should be powerless to act in the premises. Speaking of this condition in the senate, and urging that congress should enact legislation to enable the federal government to act in such cases, Senator Davis of Minnesota, one of our greatest constitutional and international lawyers, said: "This government has been adopting state legislation and state procedure from the beginning. The rules of practice and proceeding are settled by state laws by 45 different codes, by 45 different rules of right and property in as many different states." This is an epitomized statement of the condition of the United States, in constitutional and international law, in the emergency which confronts us when we consider the advisability or necessity of demanding indemnity or retribution for the outrages which have been committed in China. Manifestly our condition, position and precedents are not favorable, and it is not to be wondered that our state department officials are willing to privately admit that we cannot expect any consideration from China, other or better than we have extended to that country and to other countries under similar conditions. When the millennium comes, if not sooner, statesmen will see that it is as wise to serve the nations as it is wise to serve individuals under the moral law, which is higher and better than national or international law, or diplomacy.

It became known yesterday that a representative of the German government had canvassed the local financial field with a view to ascertaining whether or not it would be feasible to attempt to float a loan in this country. The amount of the proposed loan is variously estimated at from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000. Just what amount of the loan will be taken in this country, if it is taken at all, matter of guesswork.

THE BIG MINE STRIKE Men of the Anthracite Region Ex-pect to Be Called Out. PRESIDENT MITCHELL'S VIEW. Leader of the United Mine Workers' Organization Says That the Strike Order Seems Now Unavoidable—The Men Confident of Victory. Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 12.—Benjamin James stated last night that the United Mine Workers would not back down, and that the only outcome would be a strike or a satisfactory adjustment of the miners' grievances. Father Phillips left yesterday afternoon for Philadelphia and Washington. While he refused to say that his mission was to confer with the officers of the National Federation of Labor at the capital, it is believed here that he will make further efforts to have the trouble in the anthracite coal fields settled in an amicable manner. There is a rumor afloat that Father Phillips has had a conference with President Mitchell in Philadelphia. It is reported that about 125 men employed at the Scotch Valley colliery, 15 miles from Hazleton and inaccessible by either telephone or telegraph, have gone out on strike for higher wages. They are not members of the United Mine Workers' organization, and it is expected that the trouble will be settled in a few days. The superintendents of the Mineral company and of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, at Shamokin, were notified from their respective executive headquarters yesterday afternoon that if the men at the Cameron, Burnside and Henry Clay collieries go on strike in sufficient number to cause the operations to be closed down, then the mules and iron shall be taken from the operations and the latter be abandoned. For some time the collieries had not been paying investments, according to statements by the companies. If the three operations are shut down 3,000 men and boys will be thrown out of employment. National Organizer Fred Dilcher, of the United Mine Workers, arrived at Scranton yesterday direct from the session of the national executive board in Indianapolis, and after learning from District President Nichols and Secretary Dempsey of the unrest and mutterings of discontent regarding the delay of the strike order, framed and gave out a statement in which he says: "I ask all men to be patient and to not discuss your matters on the street, but do your business in your hall, which is the proper place. So please remain at work until called upon to stop, and then let all quit and remain idle until your rights have been granted and justice done to all." The men seem anxious for the order to strike, and declare they are confident of victory. STRIKE ORDER PROBABLE (President Mitchell Declares It Seems Now Unavoidable. Chicago, Sept. 12—"I will leave for Indianapolis tomorrow night, and if upon arrival there Thursday morning I fall to hear anything from the operators in New York indicative of their willingness to meet us in conference, I shall immediately order a strike." These were the words of John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, last night. "It is with the greatest reluctance that I take this step," continued Mr. Mitchell, but nothing else remains for us to do. It is possible that the operators will at the last moment agree to arbitrate our difficulties, but I must say the prospect is most encouraging." MURDERER TRIED SUICIDE Because He Objected to Being Hanged by a Political Opponent. Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 8.—Rather than be hanged at the hands of a Republican or Populist, he declared, Archie Kinsula, a condemned white murderer, who was sentenced to be hanged yesterday at Clinton, Sampson county, yesterday morning, made two unsuccessful attempts to commit suicide in his cell, one by cutting his throat from ear to ear and another taking morphine, the means for his self destruction having been furnished by sympathizers and secreted by him in his cell until a few hours before his execution was appointed to take place. Under the circumstances, and because local ministers of the Gospel admonished the governor that the condemned man was not ready to die, the chief executive has granted the murderer a respite for one week, but a special dispatch says that physicians declare his condition very critical from the wound in his throat. Kinsula, himself a Democrat, is condemned to die for the killing of a Populist in Senator Butler's county in the heated political campaign of 1898. While it is urged that politics did not enter into the murder, from the fact that Democrats have been most urgent in demanding the execution, feeling has been high, and before his conviction in court he was liberated from fall by friends and he bade defiance to the law, and evaded capture for nine months, during which time he remained in his own county, and was at last shot down by a posse and again placed in jail. GENERAL SOUTHERN NEWS. Danville, Va., Sept. 9.—An afray occurred yesterday afternoon in Harvey's grocery store, on Upper Union street, in which Troy Conoy, a mill operative, was shot and killed by Henry Womble, a clerk in the store. It is said a woman was the cause of the tragedy. Leesburg, Va., Sept. 10.—Mr. Robert Vincent, son of William D. Vincent, aged about 21 years, was killed by lightning at his fathers' home, near Lovettsville, this county. The young man was in the act of lowering a window when the boot struck the house and killed him Instantly. Tifton, Ga., Sept. 7.—Eliza Beach, colored, was shot and instantly killed Wednesday night at a turpentine distillery five miles west of Tifton, quarrel arose among the negroes, and the Beach woman began firing on the others with a pistol. Before she could be stopped she had wounded three people. The disturbance only ceased when some one slipped up near the enraged woman and shot her through the left side near the heart, from the effects of which she died. Jackson, Miss, Sept. 11.—A horrible quadruple tragedy occurred at West Station, five miles north of here, yesterday. George W. Moore, a prominent merchant of the place, who has been suffering with periods of insanity for some time, administered strychnine to his wife and two little children, telling them it was quinine to keep off chills. Within a few minutes all three were dead. Moore then took a pistol and fired two bullets through his own heart, falling to the floor across the dead body of one of his little children. Columbia, S. C., Sept. 6.—Governor McSweeney yesterday disbanded the Capital City Guards, a local colored militia company, and the best drilled in the state, which engaged in alleged riotous conduct on the state capitol grounds Labor Day. M. R. Cooper, secretary of state, has forbidden colored militia to use the capitol grounds hereafter. In the police court the rioting members were fined $49, and some double that amount, for contempt. The affair on Labor Day was caused by two young white men driving into the ranks of the negro company and enraging its members, who used their rifles as clubs. Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 7.—The tour of West Virginia, which was begun Tuesday last by Hon. W. J. Bryan, the Democratic presidential candidate, was concluded last night with a speech at this place. He traveled from Deer Park by the way of Clarksburg and Parkersburg yesterday, making three speeches of length and two or three other brief and informal talks at such places as St. Mary's and Sisterville. As Mr. Bryan came in he was greeted by red bonfires and the firing of rockets in the suburbs, and the railroad for squares was lined by a mass of humanity struggling to get a first glimpse of the candidate. The day's run covered about 300 miles of rough mountain railroading. Richmond, Va., Sept. 6.—A ten ton iron cross girder strained the heavy 65 foot wooden boom on the temporary traveler just at the river's brink. In use in constructing the Chesapeake and Ohio railway viaduct at the foot of Belvidere street, and with a sudden crash the heavy boom fell yesterday, killing one man and injuring three other employees of the contractors. The dead and injured are: Glenwood Seay, of Maiden's Adventure, Goochland county, aged 25, instantly killed; John Hanson, formerly of Philadelphia, legs badly bruised and face cut. A. C. Dobbs, of Richmond, severe shock, struck on head, right knee badly cut; John McLean, arm knocked out of place and bad bruises on body. Macon, Ga., Sept. 7.—Twenty-one of the representative business and professional men of Wilkinson county came into Macon yesterday to see that a negro, Napoleon Anderson, did not lack friends if the United States commissioner should bind him over on a charge of interfering with United States officers. Anderson had taken out a warrant for larceny against two revenue officers passing through the county, charging them with stealing his sugar cane. The officers gave bond, and then arrested the negro, saying he had sought to interfere with the disgorge of their duties. The white men of the county rose up in arms and refused to carry out the negro to be taken away without due process of law. The officers updied the negro and came to Macon, obtaining warrants for many of the white citizens. These citizens came in yesterday and brought the negro with them, and announced that as the negro had lived an exemplary life in their midst, every dollar in the county would be used to see that he was not imposed on. The cases will all be heard next week. GENERAL MARKETS. THE RICHMOND PLA NET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA M'KINLEY'S LETTER Formally Accepting the Renomination For President. REPUBLICANISM VS. IMPERIALISM The President Denies the Charges of His Political Opponents, and Declares That the Principal Issue of the Campaign Is the Money Question Washington, Aug 10.—The letter of President McKinley accepting the renomination for his high office is in substance as follows: Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, Chairman Notification Committee 1965. My Dear Sir, The nomination of the Republican national convention of June 19, 1900, for the office of president of the United States, which, as the official representative of the convention, you have conveyed to me, has examined the platform adopted and give it my hearty approval. Upon the great issue of the last national election it is necessary that you endorse the legislation of the present congress, by which that standard has been effectively strengthened. The stability of our national currency is there- long as those who adhere to this platform are kept in control of the government. As in 1886, the silver parties are united, and the same eader who immediately after the battle will be in an address to the bimetallists, said: "The friends of bimetallism have not been adequately overcome. They believe that the gold standard is a conspiracy of the money hunger against the welfare of the human race; they will continue the warfare against it." So the issue is presented. It will be no surprise that the restoration of the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. If another issue is paramount, this is immediate. It will admit of There has been no time since the destruction of the enemy's fleet when we should have left the Philippine archipelago. The war was ratified no power but congress could surrender our sovereignty or alienate a foot of the territory thus acquired. The president had no authority to the other, and the president had no authority to do either, if he had been so inclined, which he was not. So long as he was not in duty of the executive, whoever he may be, to uphold that sovereignty and if it be attacked to suppress its assailants. It has been asserted that there would have been no fighting in the Philippines congregations and declared its purpose to give independence to the insurgents. The insurgents did not wait for the action of congress. They assumed the role of army, and those who asserted their responsibility began the beginning of the conflict have forced that before the treaty was ratified in the Philippines, the insurgents debated in that body, and while the Bacon resolution was under discussion, the American army, after being properly advised that the American forces were not to fire upon them except in defenses, recently captured archives of the insurgents demonstrate that this attack had been strategically planned for weeks before it occurred. It is our purpose to establish in the Italians our government suitable to the wants and conditions of the inhabitants and to prepare them for self government, and to give them self government when they are ready to be rapidly as they are ready for it. That I am to do under my constitutional authority, to do until congress shall determine the policies of the inhabitants of the archipelago. Are our opponents against the treaty? If so, they must be reminded that it could not be implied in the senate but for their assistance which ratified the treaty and the congress which added its saction by a large appropriation comprise senators and repre- parties. Would our opponents surrender that insurgents, abandon our sovereignty or cede it to them? If that be not our purpose, then it should be promptly disclaimers of our rights, for them to hope raised by our opponents the minds of the Fillipinos, that with their success at the polls in November there at the army and of American sovereignty over the pelago; the complete independence of the Talaiog people recognized and the powers of government over all the other peoples of government over all the other peoples of pelago conferred upon the Talaiog leaders. The effect of a belief in the minds of the archipelago does not have already prolonged the rebellion creases the necessity for the continuance of the war, now delaying full peace in the archipelago. The American people will not make the mistake of the republic's soldiers the agents of liberty and order to the Philippines. They will not make them the builders of the new commonwealth. Such a course would be the wrong course to the peaceful Filipinos, and would play at the mercy of dangerous adventurers of the natives and foreigners. If would not have easy the commission of such atrocities were secretly planned to be executed on Manila, in the city of Manila, when only the capture of our army prevented the attempt. The letter concludes with a brief reference to the Chinese controversy and the thorough reunion of the north and south through the Spanish war. National Employment Agency.

When a case has been submitted to the supreme court, the justices are furnished with printed copy of the record and of each brief filed, and are expected to study them at their homes before the case is taken up for consideration. The importance of the case and the intricacy of the points involved often extend the discussion over several days and sometimes months. The discussion being concluded the chief justice calls the roll, and each justice who has heard the argument votes his opinion. Then the chief justice assigns someone, generally the justice who has taken the most interest in the subject, to prepare the opinion, which is privately printed and handed to the other members of the court for criticism. After examination they return it to the author with such comments as occur to them. The author often adopts their suggestions, or they may become the subject of another conference, and are sustained or overruled as the majority may determine. The opinion is then reprinted and read from the bench by its author on the following Monday.—Chicago Record. Enameling the Skin. Enameling the skin is an art. One famous actress was known to have worn an enameled neck, which was said to have been made of celluloid. The new enamel of vegetable wax, tinted with aniline dyes, is far superior to celluloid. On a recent festive occasion at Cape May a man of 40, who had married a girl half his age, astonished his new acquaintances by the beauty of his complexion. The texture of the skin was as soft as satin. He experienced no inconvenience, except that he could not smite. Laughing was practicable, because he laughed with his mouth wide open; but the enamel restrained all facial expression, save with the eyes and lips. This enamel is made of a vegetable wax gathered from a Chinese tree. It is spread upon the face and worked in with a roller made of soft rubber. The enamel face may be washed with soap and water with impunity, the color being only removed by an application of alcohol—Philadelphia Record. Fun for the Court: A prolix and pompous Missouri lawyer defending an ebony negro, was selecting a jury of white men. He had asked numberless needless questions, when the judge said: "Come, now, Mr. C——, you will be examining the jurors' teeth next. Hurry along. Let's get through with this nonsense." "Well," said the lawyer, "just one more general question. Are any of you in any way related to the defendant at the bar?" Another Missouri attorney, in a divorce suit, set up in the wife's cross bill the fact that the husband "undertook to poison her without just cause."—Case and Comment. When Brosius Speaks in Whispers. Marlott Broslus, congressman from the Tenth district of Pennsylvania, has a voice that is famous. Not long ago a member of the house was passing out of the front door of the capitol with a friend when they heard a crash behind them as of distant thunder. "What was that noise?" inquired the friend. "I don't know," replied the congressman, "unless it was Brosius whispering."—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. A Regiment Mislaid Records of the war office provide many examples of the temporary disappearance of regiments abroad. They have disappeared from the war office annals, and it has taken weeks of telegraphing before their exact position has been located. The other day, however, a complete regiment disappeared from view in this country. The war office knew that it was somewhere between Bristol and Colchester, but whereabouts they were at a complete loss to know. Wires were sent to every possible position before they ultimately discovered it at some unexpected spot.—Sheffield Telegraph. Fish Are Great Gluttons Fish are great gluttons. That is probably the reason why fine-looking bait tempt so many of them to destruction. A single blue fish has been known to kill and devour ten cod each as big as himself in rapid succession. Birds are also blessed with fine appetites. The robin can easily devour two-thirds of his weight in earth worms in a day, and the ordinary pigeon can get away with his own weight in grain between sunrise and sunset and then go to sleep hungry. Neatest Town in the World. Broek, in Holland, is far famed as the "neatest town in the world." This town is so fastidious that until a few years ago horses were not allowed in its streets, for reasons of cleanliness, and the entire town is as scrupulously kept as a man-of-war. It is village of 2,700 inhabitants, the main industry of which is the making of Edam cheeses—N. Y. Sun. Interrupted. "Eliza, you'll never again get me out at four o'clock to cut the grass."

"Chamberlainia" and "Robertland" are suggested by the St. James' Gazette, which, however, would prefer something made up from the name of the future ruler of Enghland, Edward VII. The Monkfish and the Dog. A monkfish made a quick meal of an Eastpo't dog the other noon and was captured a short time later near one of the sardine factory wharves. Very few monkfish are seen in Passaquoddy bay, but at different times they are found of large size and have been known to come to the surface suddenly and gobble up any sea bird that happens to be on the water. They are among the bestlime fish that are found along the neighboring coast, the mouth being unusually large, and fishermen have known them to swallow objects nearly as large as themselves. In appearance they resemble a big sculpin, and the one killed here Friday came in for a full share of attention from the many spectators on the wharf. The unfortunate dog was enjoying a swim along the water front, watched by his owner and a party of friends, when without warning the monkfish came to the surface with open mouth and the dog went down without much of a fight for his life. Later in the day some boys were spearing flounders in shallow water when they saw the odd-looking fish below, and with a boat-hook soon gathered it in. The dog was found inside, but was considerably mangled by the saw-like teeth of the fish, and it was noticed that the dog was nearly as large as the entire monkfish—Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Jacob's Well. At the foot of Mount Gerizim, in northern Palestine, is a rock-hewn well nine feet in diameter and 75 feet or more deep, which is traditionally held to be the ancient well of the patriarch Jacob, and the same by which Jesus sat and conversed with a woman of Samaria. In very ancient times a church was built over this well. Though destroyed during the wars of the Crusades, the ruins are still traceable. All circumstances concur with the universal tradition to identify this well as the one spoken of in the sacred history. The depth of the water at the present day varies greatly, sometimes there being a depth of several feet and another time the well being almost dry, "No scene of these ancient incidents," says a writer, "is more clear and interesting than this. It is impossible not to see His very gestures when He spoke of "this mountain"—the Gerizim, which rose above Him—and when He heads his hearers lift up their eyes and look on the fields, already 'white unto the harvest,' the tilled lands of Jacob's plain which stretched before Him." A Clever Fraud. An impudent fraud was perpetrated upon a Manchester bank by one of its customers, who opened an account with some few hundred pounds. The man, after a few weeks, drew two checks, each within a pound or so of his balance, and, selecting a busy day, presented himself at one end of the counter, while an accomplice, when he saw that his friend's check had been cashed, immediately presented his own to a cashier at the other end. Both cashiers referred the checks to the ledger clerk, who, thinking the same cashier had asked him twice, said "right" to both checks. The thieves were never caught.—N. Y. Tribune. His Watcher Not Chrono Hir Watches Set Carrometer. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman has a mania for watch-making. The watch he carries he has made entirely himself. Most of his personal friends at some time or other have received a present from him of a "Bannerman-made watch." The time kept by Sir Henry's watches, however, is sometimes erratic. Lord Salisbury remarked laughingly to one of his brother peers, who had occasion to ask him the time: "What time do you want? 'London time' or 'Bannerman time?'"—N. Y. Sun. An Ideal Village The Dalecarlian village of Orsa seems to offer advantages as a place of residence to persons of small incomes. The municipality owns extensive forest lands, and by the judicious sale of some of them the village has a revenue of about $75,000 a year. The inhabitants pay no taxes of any kind. A first-rate education is provided for their children without the cost of a penny.—N. Y. Sun. The Awe-inspiring Flunkey. When Queen Victoria was at Balmoral, some time ago, she visited an aged cottager, and, on leaving her, said: "You will now no longer be afraid of me, and I shall expect you to pay me a visit."

Can be consulted upon all affairs of life, business, love and marriage a speciality. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrangements, challenges any Medium who can exceed her in startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc. with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, anemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change of business, law suits, journeys, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MES. MART tells your entire life past, present and future in a DEAD TRANCE, has the power of any two Mediums you ever met. In tests she tells your mother's full name before marriage, the names of all your family their ages and description. the name and business of your present husband the name of your next if you are to have one, the name of the young man who new calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage, how many children you have or will have: whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart she will tell you when you will have and his name, business and date of acquaintance. All your business and told in an honest clear and plain manner to the woman. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children young ladies should know everything about the sweethearts or intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not one who all placards himself or herself as a medium that can stand a test of what he or she claims. And a person of an enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simply it these advisers do not take the able to study hun an nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of phaseology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of all obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a person is the art used by many unprincipled mediums, but to take hold on the head and gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done and by means Mrs. Marth the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it can be conclusively that although there are in-fringers in our midst with oily tongues perhaps the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium and by a continuous and untiring effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathomable mysteries has been secured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity. ADVICE BY LETTER, $1.00 HOURS FROM 10 A.M., TO 8 P.M. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 W. 31st St., (near 8th Ave.), New York City. Enclose stamp for reply.

They've sung the song of the girl in pink, And the song of the girl in white. But the singers are few who have praised the true Goddess of love and light; The household fairy whom we all know, And knowing her love her better so— The girl in the garment of calico, Dainty and sweet and bright. The bloom of her cheeks, the light in her eyes, As her beauty and title of health; And day after day in a modest way Her neatness is better than wealth. Old-fashioned? Yes, and we wish her so, For just like her mother in calico. With the gentle traits of the years ago, Bobbin I offer my homage to-night: Yet, deep in my heart I feel and know, A lotter feeling continues to grow For the girl in the wrapper of calico, Dalmy and sweet and bright. -John H. Braceland, in N. Y. Sun. The Truth About Tobias ITOOK Hanora quite a time to find out the truth about Tobias. Not that Tobias could ordinarily be considered a mysterious individual. Indeed, he was precisely the reverse. From the cool dawn hour in which he arose to go forth and drive the team for Twist & Taffeta, of which firm he was trusted collector, until his return at 6:30 to the modest flat where his sister—and supper—awaited him, his life was a clean and commonplace page, spread wide for every casual of interested glance. His nights, if less exposed to the arc lights of public scrutiny, might as well have been so. For, after eating heartily of the food Hanora had prepared, and referring to the same in admiring terms, he was wont to remove his shoes as unnecessary impediment, place his feet in their well-darned hose upon the chair "beyant," light his pipe, drink the solitary bottle of beer which Hanora permitted him, and read the mighty accumulation of both morning and evening papers until the autocratic spinster who ruled his abode suggested "a decade," and turned the lamp low by way of a gentle but quite sufficient hint. Tobias was 40—plus five. He had a brickdust skin, pale brows, a pugnacious nose, and a smile of such sudden, suffusing, apologetic radiance it explained his love for his fellow-men-in general and for Hanora in particular. Indeed, his was the only love that had ever come Hanora's way. She had never been guilty of that form of highway robbery known as coquetry. Not that she was unsophisticated. She knew that a woman quick of perception and adroit of finger may appropriate the purse of one who walks her way and suffers incarceration. And she knew also that one who possesses herself of an unappropriated masculine heart not only goes free in the sight of the law, but glories if she will in her guile and in the magnitude of her deeds. Whether the bonds of inopportunity had shackled Hanora Ryan or whether she had preferred maiden triumph to the exultation of matronhood deponent sayeth not. Anyhow, to get back to the truth about Tobias. On one memorable midsummer eve he devoured lemon pie without protest. Hanora knew he loathed lemon pie. On the morning he meekly ate the French toast she set before him, instead of his regulation potato and rasher. This was her second test. For Tobias had frankly declared only two weeks ago that he would eat no more French, or Flemish, or—no, begorrah—Boer toast, that was made of stale bread dipped in egg and fried! So there! She began to feel suspicious. He was a good brother, and alarmingly docile when presented with viands for which he possessed an aversion. She was like the parrot which its owner declared "said little but done a devil of a heap of thinkin'!" She thought a good deal in those days. When Tobias suggested bringing a friend home with him to dinner she thought more than ever, albeit she possibly said less. "To be bringin' a man here for a male!" quoth she. "What kind of a man might he be, now, Tobias?" "Sthraight as they make 'em!" promptly responded Tobias. He drives the 'rush' bus. He's a good wan. He'd relish one of your raspberry rolls—that he would, Hanora! Whereat Hanora blushed in a wintry sunset sort of way and said he might bring his friend. He did bring his friend. And—to tell the truth—Hanora looked exceedingly well. She had given her black silk skirt a "dip," whatever that mysterious phraseology may mean. And she wore with this a shirt waist of softest lawn, which she had bought at quite an absurd figure because it was one of the smallest sizes. This she had duly and delicately laundered. Not that "The household art was the only dower. She would bring for a gift to him she wed." But the household art shone up in resplendence on that particular night. Never, thought treacherous Tobias, with a glow at his heart, had any man such a sister, and if it were not for the—here he broke off in an agony of deception which made him temporarily oblivious of the merits of the raspberry roll. "You ain't eat a bite!" avowed Hanora. Tobias made a sweeping gesture across his Adam's apple. "Clear to herel" he declared, with delicious mendacity. After supper they went into the parlor. Hannora played on the organ— yes, and sang, too, in a sweet, thin little voice. She sang "The Meeting of the Waters" and "The Kerry Dancing" and the "Wearing of the Green." No rag time for Hanora. "She's a jewell" commented Dennis Maguire, addressing Tobias Ryan, when they parted on the sidewalk. "Ain't—in't"—timidly, "there any wan a-coortin!" "Nivir a wan!" returned Tobias. "Nivir a wani!" returned Tobias. He felt so guilty upon his return he could hardly make the proper responses to the "decade" which Hanora was "giving out." He did not come home until ten o'clock the following night—nor yet the next. He explained his absence by mysterious allusions to "caucases" and "primaries," thereby soothing Hanora and stultifying his conscience. It was not until Hanora found a rose in the buttonhole of his coat one morning and a little lace trimmed handkerchief in his pocket that her direst doubts were aroused. But even these Tobias explained away. "Sure the flower cost nothin', Hanora. "Twas from a bush I was passin', And the handkerchief was on the sidewalk. I thought belike you could make use of it." He was rapidly becoming a beautiful liar. A week later he refused to go out with Hanora and Dennis on account of the night being damp. He had rheumatism, he said. So his sister and his friend went to the theater and Tobias settled himself to the composition of a long and fervent letter, the accomplishment of which necessitated frequent reference to the pocket dictionary he had bought for this purpose. To make a long story short—and it was not such a long story when all was said—Hanora married Dennis Maguire. Tobias was desolate disconsolate. He might go to live with them. Dennis had won a treasure. Yes, he might go to live with them after awhile. For the present he would take his meals at a restaurant until sure what could be done with the furniture—and so on. All through her wedding journey, which lasted full three weeks, it troubled Mrs. Maguire to determine what was the matter with Tobias She told her new made lord all about "I AM HIS SISTER." SHE SAID. his evening absences, his mild acceptance of distasteful viands, his abrupt and cager hospitality toward Dennis—even about the rose and handkerchief. It was not until she had returned to Chicago and went out to the flat where had been passed her years of mature maidenhood that she really discovered the truth about Tobias. For the flat into which she let herself with her latchkey was altered, decorated, illumined. There were curtains of rosy swissline at the windows. There were a lot of flowers on the table. A canary sang in a gilded cage, and—what is that? A parasol in the corner—a hat on the sewing machine! Such a frivolous hat—all chiffon and daisies! Hanora turned quite faint. Could Tobias— "O," cried a radiant little creature fluttering out of one of the Pullman car apartments which serve as bedrooms in the modren flat, "I did not know anyone was here. Take this chair. You are Mrs. Larch, I know. Tobias said the wife of his friend in the shipping department would call. We are not really fully settled yet. Our wedding was quite a surprise to our friends, but really we had been considering it for some time. I was in the ribbons, you know, and became acquainted with Mr. Ryan while at the store. But it seems he had an old maid sister living with him, and having a girl's natural distaste for relations-in-law—though doubtless some of them are kind enough, I suggested to Tobias that it would be better to marry her off if possible before—why—what—" For Mrs. Dennis Maguire had risen in aghast and stately discomposure. "I am his sister," she said. "Dear, O dear! I'm so sorry! I didn't know—nor suspect—I wish I had kept still! Take off your things! Stay to supper! There—there! You're sweet as you can be—and I'll love you if you let me—indeed, I will."—Chicago Tribune. **Gift to Cronje from Russians.** The piece of plate subscribed for by 29,000 Russians to be given to Gen.

EDGAR JONES. Greatest Game of Poker Fathers, Sons and Grandads Played Is for Half a Century. THE two men approached the card table reluctantly, without that eagerness shown by most persons about to sit into a game of poker. These men seemed burdened almost by the famous "weight of centuries" that M. Millet and Mr. Markham exploited with so much sorrow and profit. After they had sat down, they did not take up any pack of cards. Though there were no cards on the table, they began to bet, sadly, as if their hearts were not in what should have been a pleasure to both, though a profit to only one. "I raise you one cent," sighed John Oxheart, the third of that name. And his friend said, gloomily: "I see you and go you one better." "I raise you the limit," remarked Oxheart, and George Flint the third again replied: "I see your raise and raise you all the way." So the game went on until ten bets had been made. In one corner of the room sat an intelligent stenographer, who in an old-fashioned notebook had been taking down each bet as it was made. He now closed the notebook, laid it on the table, and retired. Thirty-six years ago Col. John Oxheart, of the Ninety-seventh Virginia, fell at the head of his men on that bloody field of —. Every student of American history knows full well the battle to which the writer refers. By his side fell Lieut. Col Flint. Their deaths ended the first act of the comedy that became almost a tragedy. Eight years earlier, in 1855, these two gallant Virginia men had met at a friendly game of cut-throat poker. Their names expressed their characters. When not troubled or thwarted, nothing could be more lovable than these two gentlemen. But cross them in anything, however little—the littler the better—and they became wild animals. Thousands and thousands of slaves had these gentlemen struck down, malmed, dying, even dead, when angered by some trivial fault. Each had only one son surviving out of large families, the wives and other children having in both families died of decline superinduced by ill-treatment. Yet these two gentlemen were loving and respected neighbors. So, to while away a dragging hour; they sat down to play poker. The limit it was five cents; simple minded children of nature, they did not make the limit too high. They played merely for amusement; the money in the game affected them not. So they began. After an hour or so, when Maj. Oxheart had about eight cents of Col. Flint's money (they had not then their final military titles) it was the major's turn to bet. He bet the limit; and the captain saw him and raised the limit. Two or three breathless minutes passed during which each in turn saw his friend's raise, and raised it. There must have been $1.58 on the board. The major evidently took in ill part the pertinacity of his friend. "Yeh betteth drop out, George," he said. "I've got yeh kilt." "I won't dropout yet awhile, seh," answered Flint. "It'll take moh'n yeh have to kill me." "Don't yeh reply to me in that' tone o' voice, seh!" cried the major, angrily. "I'm wohin' yeh fo' you' health, seh!" "I thank you, seh," answered Flint, sarcastically; "I'm suht'nly everlastingly obligated to yeh, seh; but I can stay you' hand out." The major swore a great oath that he could and would beat the captain's hand, and both friends glared angrily at each other across the table. They stood like that for so long that the hotel keeper, aroused at the unwonted quiet, entered the room to see what was the matter. He called help; the two friends, who had become almost cataleptic, were taken apart, and trouble was averted for the time. But Capt. Flint bade the tavern keeper to seel his hand of cards in a package, and saw it done before he left the hotel. Maj. Oxheart saw his hand sealed in a similar package. A few days later the two friends met again, and after some talk returned to the game. The hands, still sealed up, were produced by the hotel keeper, and the game began where it hadleff off. Disagreement again broke up the game, and again the boniface, Col. Carter, took charge of the hands, sealing them in second envelopes. So for five years the game went on, never finished, and at each separation Col. Carter sealed the hands in additional envelopes. The war interrupted the friendly contest, but not for long. Again and again, as chance permitted. Col. Oxheart and Lieut. Col. Flint would get the packages from Gen. Carter and begin the never ending game. When Gen. Carter fell at the head of his men on that fatal day with which every reader, etc., he had strength to turn over the packages to his adjutant. Taking them from the bosom of his dress coat—he always wore full uniform in battle—he gave them to Maj. Tolliver and bade him care for them with his life's blood. Then the gallant sportsman and soldier died. When Oxheart and Flint were found dead, Col. Tolliver (he had been promoted) gave the packages to the representative of the heirs. Col. Jones Enraughty-Darby, who placed them in a safe deposit vault. Under the circumstances, it was only natural that the two heirs should be represented by one person. Col. Enraughty-Darby related the facts in the case to the two young men and left it to their consciences to lead them to do what should be done. He knew well what they would do. They went on with the game! The same rules stood; they began where their fathers had left off. The progress made was little and slow, for their altered circumstances kept them apart much of the time. In time they married and had sons; to the eldest son each man told the story of the great game; and it is these men, grandons of the original players, that carried on the game. Every week if they could get together they met and made ten bets. Neither faltered, though both knew that when the end should come one of them would be ruined for life. But still they played on. After the stenographer had gone they sat down idly at the table and called for refreshments. They were still discussing the market, for they were partners, one living in this city, the other in Chicago, when a cry of fire rang through the hotel. They escaped with their lives, not remembering until too late that on the table lay the record book in which were put down every bet that they, their fathers and their grandfathers had made on the long-dealt hands. Their first feeling was one of dismay. Then, simultaneously, over each man's face came a look of relief, of joy. "Hurrah!" they shouted together, and in the open street they fell on GLARED ANGRILY AT EACH OTHER each other's necks and wept. The records destroyed, how could they continue the game? George Flint telegramged at once to Tolliver Enraughty, of Enraughty & Carter, esquires, of Richmond, who soon appeared in the city with a parcel—the two packages containing the hands over which so many thousand bets had been made. Solemly, as if at the reading of a will, the packages were opened. Each was marked on the outer covering with the name of its holder. "This was my grandfather's," said Oxheart, with a quiver in his voice. "My grandfather held this," said Flint, softly, caressingly. The lawyer went on with his work in silence. It was almost like unrolling a mummy to take off one by one the many envelopes in which these hands were wrapped. At last Mr. Enraughty stopped and read from the envelope unopened in his hand: "I do not know which of these hands belonged to which of those fools, so I have marked this one for Flint, and the other for Oxheart. Dorsey Carter," and then followed the date, that of the second meeting of the original players. The two grand-sons looked at each other silently, then they both said: "Go on." In the other package Mr. Enraughty found a similar note. "Gentlemen," he said, "shall I open the last envelopes?" "No," said both Flint III. and Oxheart III. together. The lawyer held the two envelopes in the fire until they were destroyed. "Now," said he, "can we get decent whisky in this benighted town?"—N. Y. Sun. Similar But Different.
