THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPT. 22, 1900. The National Baptist Convection met at 8:30 P. M., 14th inst. Pres. E. O. Morris, presiding. Prayer by Rev. E. Bird of New York city. Scripture reading by Rev. L. M. Cheek. The President introduced Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D., of Washington, D. O., who made the report of the Educational Board—Rev. W. A. Credist, chairman; Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, secretary. During the reading of this report. Governor J. Hoge Tyler entered and was loudly applauded by the audience. THE NATIONAL BAPTISTS HAD A GREAT SESSION. GOV. TYLER SPEAKS. Governor Tyler Spoke to Them. Eminent Divines. Learned Discourses. President Morris said: We are highly favored this afternoon by having present with us Dr. H. O. Mabile, of the American Missionary Union. He declined for the present in favor of Gov. J. Hoge Tyler of Virginia, who coming to the front of the rostrum said: It was more to attest by my presence than what I have to say. I want to first compliment you and congratulate you upon your liberality. It seems that you are the most liberal Baptists I have ever met, for you have gone out of your way to sprinkle a Presbyterian Elder Governor. I do not know what you would do were you to have a sure enough Baptist." EIGHT THOUSAND AT THE AUDITORIUM One brother remarked that you are all things to all men. "Some of the ministers of this city invited me to be present to address you. I accepted. looking forward with pleasure to the opportunity, but other things prevented. I have not been able to make preparation, so I come before you with urde, hasty and immature suggestions. The Greatest Meeting Ever Held Here. Loud in their Praises. A Gold Headed Umbrella for Dr. Graham. Gift of the Baptists of the United States. "I would not exaggerate were I to say that no people could be engaged in a more noble work than that in which you are engaged and with great pleasure. I would not you appreciate your faces I see that you appreciate the work before you. THE GREAT FORCES. Educational and moral training has been the great instrumentality which has raised all races to prominence and power. The influence which we have endeavored to extend, commending at the beginning of the Garden of Eden, has been belting the earth between the 30th and 50th degrees of longitude, giving influence and we have its religion leaping against the Pacific, dashing itself against the shores of heathen lands. Extending from the sound zones to Africa and northward to the arctic regions of Alaska, carrying sleft the banners of Christ and its foes are giving away in every section. "You have a great work. A greater responsibility rests upon you than upon any other people. THE FUTURE UNKNOWN. "We do not know what may be the future. You have been called upon to go through the waters of trial and affliction, but you will be enabled to wear a brighter crown. "Other races are waiting to welcome every heart and I believe every Christian here wishes you a most hearty success. This thought filled my bosom even before I had arrived at mahood years. After the surrender I went back home. I realized what was the result of the war. God in His wonderful progress,—or the result of the war would be to bring freedom to your race. I called my servants who had been faithful to me and have been ever since, thank God, and I tried to picture to them some of the difficulties which lay before them. DIVIDED WITH THEM. "I said that they would be free. I did not know it, but from this moment you are as free as I am. Another thing I mentioned. I divided with them every cent of personal property I had. I gave to every family a cow and a team of horses, and told them if they were not satisfied with the houses in which they lived, they could select any other and I would secure it to them and their children. I shall never forget that scene. They manifested their appreciation of joy. They almost rolled in the grass." HIS OLD MAMMY. "My old mammy, who nursed me when my mother died in giving me birth, threw her arms around them and around me, endeavoring to bind us together, declaring that the separation should never be. When she died, I buried her and erected a monument over her grave, and it may be seen from my front door to day. "They left and my old mammy was weeping and walling. But in less than a week they were all back, saying that they had their freedom and that they wanted to enter into a contrast with me. I had three farms and I said to Uncle Abe that I would give him one of them and he said that he thought that he would be satisfied with the Kirk property—that was about a 1600 acres—and a pair mules, yoke of oxen and a cow. CONTRACT MADE OUT. Well, I divided up the property and made out the contract. He came back to have a stamp put upon it. The Provost Marshal required it. I had no stamp at that time, so I put an old Gorilla stamp, so I stamp upon it, and it answered the purpose. Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D. President of the National Baptist Convent (Colored), the Greatest Negro Baptist Organization in the World. The rules were suspended and he was unanimously re-elected. "Now, I said I want you to give the first fruits of your farm to God. I gave them a place for a church and a school-house and a grave-yard. This PRICE 5 CENTS was the first church erected south of the Mason and Dixon line. A; I was going to my farm, I saw some parties digging a grave. I enquired whose it was and they told me Lizzie Rippley died of typhoid fever and she wanted to be buried by the side of her mother. I was told that she was the grave of my old family servants, who loved me; yes, who would lay down their lives for me. WHAT HOPE F OR U8? What hope for you? What for any people if we are cut off from the gories of the gospel of heaven? We have the promise that He will govern and direct and make the rugged way smooth. Let not a one of you become discouraged. Each one urge some other to become a co-worker in carrying forward the gospel to your people. I believe that in the hearts of the colored people of the South there is deep appreciation of the efforts which have been made to help along national lines. The South was poor, stripped of everything; yet, I think if all of the amounts given could have been collected together, they would be monuments to our people. FIGHTING MANFULLY. "But you are fighting the battle manfully yourselves. Never grow faint hearted, but go forward and trust God and He will help you." A continued ovation followed. H. C. Mable, D. D., of Massachusetts, secretary of the American Missionary Union, said that it was worth the trip from Boston to come in contact with such a man. "It is good to be here, because there sounds forth strong and true language. It was at the conclusion of the remarks of the Governor and Dr. Mable that Rev Dr. Crediti made one of the most thrilling and electrifying speeches of the convention. He stated the Negro's case in equity with charming language, magnificent in its conceptions and punctuated with oratory of the highest order. The applause which greeted him showed that he had made a successful statement of existing conditions even though he had surprised everyone by the boldness of his utterances. During the day Rev. R. G. O. Fox of Pittsburg, Pa. presided. Rev. Dr. E. P. Harris made the opening address. Rev. R. Mitchell, D. D., of Frankfort, Ky., ably discussed the "Influence of Literature upon a Nation." He urged the colored people to devote more time to making literature for themselves, educating their boys and girls for that purpose. Rev. R. Harvey Johnson of Baltimore area saw a sensation by delivering an address which attacked the literature of the white man. He was merciless in his analysis of Homer and his Illiad and Odyssey, expressing a doubt whether such a writer ever lived. He created much amusement and carried his audience with him from the start to the finish. He was out-poken in his advocacy of racial enterprises. Rev. Dr. S. A. Moseley of Pine Bluff, Ark., president of the Arkansas department of the convention made an address. "The Gospel in all Landa," was the theme discussed in the morning session of the National Baptist Convention, Thursday, 13th inst. Rev. Dr. J. J. Durham, of Georgia, the vice-President, was in the chair. The first address was made by Rev. M J. Maddox, of Savannah Ga. Rev. Jordan, in a short address, stated that the past year had been a successful one for the cause of missions, and that the colored people had done their duty by giving to send the gospel to Africa. Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris had made a trip to Africa, and had been instrumental in many being added to the fold. Other speakers were Rev Geo, W. Lee, D. D., and Rev Walter Brooks, both of Washington; Rev John E. F. of Denver, Col., the first Negro to go to the University of Chicago; Dr. P. R. Neal, Burrell of Louisville, the chief clerk of the Foreign Mission Board, and Dr. C. H. Parrish, President of the Exstein Norton University. VALUABLE INFORMATION. The address of Rev. Dr. Brooks embraced statistical information and a historical statement of the condition of the colored Baptists in this country. It created a profound sensation and has been the subject of much comment ever since. Dr. Brooks was offered $150.00 for his paper, but as he expects to enlargen on the subject, he declined to accept it. The paper places him in the fore front of the divines who are gathering information concerning this powerful denomination. THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION. Dr. R. J. Willingham, Secretary of the Southern Baptist Convention, was introduced for the purpose of addressing the convention on missions. He delivered an able address giving in detail the work done by his society and showing the colored people their duty in this work. Rev. Dr. E. M. Brawley, presided during the afternoon session and the time was spent in hearing reports and the like. DR. BOYD'S CAREER. Dr. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing (CONNINUED ON EIGHTH PAGE) THE PLANET RELIGIOUS MATTERS O Lord, go with me through this day, Keep me in all I think or say; O may my eyes no evil see, My listening ears hear only Thee! May my slow feet be quick to move In paths of righteousness and love; Thy peace my heart's sole comfort be, Because Thy servant trusts in Thee. If Thou shalt call me, Lord, to share Thy cross, its agony and fear, With grace upborne, and clothed with light; I shall not falter in the fight. At ever-time my day's work done, Is its battle fought, its victory won, May I look to you, to see, And catch Thy beaming smile on me. —Rev. J. H. Dudley, Ph. D., in N. Y. Exam- nier. WHEREIN PRIDE IS SINFUL. True Self Respect Should Be Maintained, But Self Is Not to Be Unduly Exalted. It would be sinful to have no pride, it is just as wrong to be devoid of true and proper pride as it is to exhibit unholy pride. He who lacks that just estimation of himself, that purpose to insist in all legitimate ways that others shall deal with him properly, shall yield him his fair rights, he who regards his relation to the community and his work in life is honorable, to be treated as dignified and worthy and to be defended from encroachment and stain of any kind, in other words, he who has a proper self-respect therein illustrates true pride. Pride may involve more than self-respect, but the difference is in degree rather than in quality. When, then, is pride sinful? When it becomes the excess of the underlying virtue. Wrongful pride is the vague exaltation of self. It is regarding one's self from a mistaken point of view in reference to one's abilities, characteristics or disposition. It is centering thought upon self to the exclusion of others, their interests and the obligation which one sustains to them more than is consistent with duty to them. In other words, it is selfish, and whatever is selfish is so far sinful. The false motions which thus are begotten about ourselves lead to false adjustments of our lives to the lives of others. We miscalculate and fall into error. We become unpopular, and, although this is not necessarily an evil, because they who defend and advocate righteousness are sure of a measure of unpopularity, it is harmful when it is needless, when to be unpopular means that we have blundered. This is true of that pride which is selfish and unholy. But he who lacks honourable, unselfish pride, the pride which exults in its own powers, not that it may conquer other men and gain the glory which they otherwise would receive, but that it may do greater and nobler service to God and to the race, that pride which is an inspiration and a butwark to a safe, fruitful and praiseworthy career, is to be pitied and usually blamed.—Boston Congregationalist. ALCOHOL AND FOOD. That the Former Cannot Come Under the Head of the Latter Is Clearly Proven. That alcohol in the system is utilized or transformed in any way into food, force or calorie, is flatly contradicted and fully proven to be erroneous by the experiments of leading scientists all along down the decades for the last 50 years. No article which cannot be utilized us, or converted into, force or tissue thereby helping to repair the wear and tear of the body, and assisting in its normal functional duties, can be classed as food in any possible way. Our chemico-physiologists, with their eye of science, long since discovered that the human organism requires foils upbuilding and sustenance the following essential ailments, viz.: Fatty matters, sugar, albuminoid substance and water, with various salts in solution. So we find the very first food provided by an all-wise Providence for the young infant, the mother's milk, composed of just these necessities, and not one drop of alcohol is there to be found in it, except when the stupid physician orders the mother, or she volunteers to take it into her stomach in some form when it soon finds its way into her lace secretion, poisoning the young in infant's pure little system, which not infrequently creates a diseased appetite for the poison, and in after years ends in dissipation and drunkenness. The albumen so necessary to human existence is found in the caselin of the milk, which furnishes the required nitrogenous element of food. So, as we trace the products along down through all the great line of animal and vegetable alimentes, we find that in them exists nitrogen. To produce or build tissue growths, nitrogen is one of the essential requisites. That requirement alone precludes any claim to the food properties of alcohol, as no one will argue that it contains the slightest element of that ingredient. Yet we now and then hear of one who is run off on tangent with the delusion that alcohol is a food and a medicine. What a strange agency. Would any coexist of that theory claim both the great offices for it at the same time or that it would act as a food to nourish and as medicine to-morrow? It are pro vided a separating machine in our bodies to divide the pretended ingredients of alcohol so that when food is required it can be disconnected from the medicinal part, and vice versa. Preposterous! Food indicates those nutritions that, when taken into the stomach, will nourish the body, sustain its force, repair its waste and generate heat for its existence. Dr. Lees, who spent a lifetime in scientific investigations, says of alcohol, "It is foreign to the human body and its normal wants, one that never gives power like food, nor aids circulation like water, nor produces heat like oil nor purifies like fresh air, nor helps elimination like exercise." The Moral Side—Suspending the consideration of food properties, we find a long line of moral and physical evils following alcoholic indulgences, which go down the ages together, leaving disaster and wrecks in their pathway. Those practices impair the intellect deface beauty, create disease, destroy health, banish wealth, invite poverty drive away reason and foster madness taint the breath and pollute the tongue make strong men weak and wise men fools, convert homes of affluence into those of misery, wretchedness and want, change industry into indolence, convert a paradise into a hell, strip men of respectability and clothe them with dishonor, rob churches and fill prisons, transform some of the best of men into the vilest brutes, change law-abiding men into reckless vagabonds transform men of prayer into vile phiemers, change peaceable men into pugilistiofoaers, shorten lives and send disgraceful deaths, convert purity into ruthless profligacy, rob men of their time, money and lands, make orphans and widows, disturb peace and increase erimes, enhance taxation, send corruption and vice into governmental halls and stamp our country's name with dishonor.—D. H. Mann, M. D., in International Good Templar. Alcoholism Among Children. The German authorities at Bonn made an investigation upon alcoholism among pupils in primary schools, which shows a startling state of affairs. Sixteen children out of 100 did not drink milk, and absolutely refused to drink it because it had no flavor. Of 237 pupils, seven to eight years of age, there was not one who had not drunk wine, beer, or whisky, although 23 per cent. of these children were given their glass of whisky every day by their parents that they might become strong. As a result of these investigations it was proved that children most accustomed to alcohol showed the least intelligence; children who had their morning glass of whisky and found no savior in milk showed great inattention during the morning hour. A curious fact shown by this investigation was that young girls who took whisky with their breakfast were more numerous than young boys.—Journal of Inebriety. Coffee, Alcohol and Tobacco. By a busy physician it is stated that at least two-thirds of his practice comes from the excessive use of coffee. The excessive use of tea and coffee, as well as the use of alcoholic liquors, often almost wholly obliterates the sense of taste. The same may be said with regard to the sense of smell with snuff takers. Numerous observations prove that the use of tobacco is a potent cause of disease of the eye. Total blindness from degeneration of the optic nerve has been traced to this cause. Recent observations point to tobacco and alcohol as the great cause of color blindness, and this accounts for the fact that it is much more common in men than in women.-Nashville American.

The mists above the meadows, The silver of the rills, And those dark waving shadows That fit along the hills, Are mine. They're the unminted ore From which Faith gets her metal pure. An inspiration ever sweet Attends the shadows at my feet. I know that there is grandeur In yonder sweep of sky; The mute and boundless ocean, The mist-wreathed mountains nigh! The sun is a power that guilds my feet From dawn to dawn sweet That whispers to my heart of joy, And which no evil can destroy! I listen to the murmur Of winds in grasses green, Are in the lordly aspens- Their weave between heaven! As one who walks with Gladness, I Go out and praise the summer sky; The furrowed fields; the waving corn; And bees that vocalize the morn! I marvel at the beauty The Universe displays! I wonder at the dawning And passing of the days! I wonder at the find! The laws applied to humankind, In vain! Above, around, beneath, The only laws are life and death! I love the hopeful season, When Faith, in reaping, sings! For, seated by the roadside, I wait the sweep of wings! And, I wait, Earth's pleasures seem Like Aladdin's dream! But Love, of all, is perfect, best! And, lo, he is my angel-guest! —Arthur E. Smith, in N. Y. Observer. EVERY miner in the gulch, barring old Eddie Grim, who was deaf, dumb and half blind, was on the tip-toe of expectancy. There never had been a theatrical troupe in the gulch nor had the most visionary of its four-score inhabitants thought there ever would be. Kansas Joe allowed that no such event could be pulled out. "Women folks never will stand for bein' dragged way down into Ennis Gulch, 40-odd mile from nowhere, jest ter play act for a gamblin', cussin', fightin' passel o' men. 'Tain't natural no how. I wouldn't hev no respefer for any woman that would so ferget her sex. I don't lay no calcerations on seein' it done," said Joe. Sandy Crowley, who had been married four times while living in civilization, reckoned women had done stranger things afore now; and Billy Ennis, son of the late old man Ennis, who first discovered the rich deposits in the gulch and who died, with his boots on, a few months subsequent to the discovery, the result of carelessness in not "pullin' fust," calculated that there was no accounting for tastes. Kansas Joe's reputation as a shrewd judge of human nature was destined to be shattered, for, on the day appointed, a scraggy, weather-beaten little band of barn-stormers appeared. Joe wished that he hadn't been so "sartin", but felt almost regain for his loss of reputation, when he saw the evolution of a theater from the old warehouse. The manager of the company was not at all a tenderfoot, and had had his day prospecting for the yellow dust. Though habitually penniless, he was full of good cheer, and many were the good ones that he told at the expense of the fiercely-mustached leading man, and even his low comedian came in for his share of the drubbing; but the story that meant most of all to his hearers was one he told of the Little Lady, dark-haired Margaret, who was becoming such a genuine actress. He told them how he found her in Denver, pale and wasted, trying to earn enough money as seamstress to support herself and her invalid mother; how she had been used to better things, and that she had been defrauded of her inheritance by a muen-trusted guardian, and that it had been within her power to reclaim her own and put an end to all of her want, but that she had not done so, feeling that she could better afford to endure poverty than he disgrace. Great credit this manager took to himself for his keen discernment and his ability to bring to the surface real genius wherever it existed and however deeply it might be buried in poverty, or even worse. The camp learned the story by heart and, when the curtain was rung up on that memorable night, which proved to be both first and last of the performance, everyone looked for the little lady with the hollow cheeks and the large eyes, and they thought how fine a thing it would have been if she, in her time of her greatest need, could have been deluged with the golden treasure of a night's winnings at the faro bank. The money meant so little to them, and it would have set everything right with her and her sick mother; and when they thought of the guardian who was responsible for all of the wrong, their faces were not pleasant to look upon. "Little Lady's" part that night might have been taken from her own life, so real was the story of hardship and self-abnegation, and her audience saw her only living as she had lived, suffering as she had suffered, before they had known her. A tall, well-boned man, with slight- ly stooping shoulders, sat on the extreme right of the improvised theater and seemed very much affected as the play progressed. He was swayed by every shadow of emotion as if he were seeing real life instead of a very ordinary life, acted by a semi-amateur group of barn-stormers. Twice he was seen to grasp his hat convulsively, and when the leading man, he of fierce mustache and commanding mien, swearing by the ever-living God that she, meaning "Lattle Lady," should be his wife, whetter or no, rushed to seize her in his arms, the tall, well-boned man arose in his place with gun leveled direct on the fierce mustache and said: "They ain't a-gwine ter be no forced marriages in this yer house ter-night, and they ain't no kind er use en joyment in sech harerin' scenes. 'Tain't good, fer body er soul. Ez fer you, Mister Bad Man, the less seen of you around these yer diggins, the less likely ye air ter find yerself a human tassel swinging at the end of a cord." The speaker was Kansas Joe, the same who a few days before "wouldn't hev hed no respeck for a woman that would so fergit her sex ez ter come down into Ennis Gulch ter play act fer a gamblin', cussin', fightin' passel o'men," and he had scarcely finished speaking when fourscore weather-beaten tempters of providence, gamblers of pick and pan, arose as one man and hurrah'd the sentiment to the echo. Judge Slocum, postmaster, coroner and magistrate, finally managed to get order out of chaos, from his vantage ground on the top of a beer barrel, vouchsaft a few remarks on the occasion. "The time hez been," said the judge, "witin the memory of many that I see present, when sich an exhibition of downright cusnessed would hev been follered in due course of time with a lynchin'; but now, hampered as we air by the friendly rivalry that exists between this camp and our much-esteemed neighbors at Pine Knob, ex ter which肌 make the best showin' of law and order; curtailed as our natural privileges hev become by reason of our heartfelt desire ter be recognized abroad ez the most law-abldin' community in this yer neck o'woods, a desire ter hez already led to our freely, cheerfully refrainin' from exercisin' our Heaven-born prerogative of hemp stretchin' in the case of Bronco Pete, when nothin' on birth ever wuz more sartin than the hest a rasher of bacon and a sack of beans from the home and fireside of our lamented and dearly beluv'd feller citizen, Ezra Pickett, who died manfully defending his rights to aforesaid bacon and aforesaid beans, to his last breath of life. "I say, gentlemen, a principle thet hez cost us so dearly already, must not be forgot at this moment of trial and temptation. I move thet this company, excludin' the dangerou-looking individool, be allowed to de- "NO FORCED MERRIAGES IN THIS YER HOUSE." "NO FORCED MERRIAGES IN THIS YER HOUSE." part unmolested. I move thet this pusson, of the bear-illed mustache, be given a trial by a jury of his peers, and, lastly, I move that the city marshal be requested ter levy a tax on every self-respectin' critter in the gulch according ter his means, and thet the proceeds of the aforesaid tax be presented ter this yer little palefaced gal, who appears ter hev been gettin' the wust of it all along the line, with the best compliments of the season." This motion, with the amendment that one marshal be instructed instead of requested, as the latter word by no means expressed the meaning and that the instructions be both given and put in execution forthwith, passed the house without a dissenting voice and, though the subscriptions were solicited with a showing of guns, it was more as a matter of form or through force of habit than because of necessity, for there was not a man of the fountscore who thought himself rich enough in the remembrance of good deeds, well done, to afford to lose the opportunity. Kansas Joe was appointed a committee of one to escort "Little Lady" and her wealth back over the twill again; and the stories he told on his return elected him mayor of the gulch without opposition. The jury, not being quite certain as to how much of the fierce-mustached man's ranting was due to his desire to play act in a realistic manner and how much to pure deprivacy, gave him the benefit of their doubts; but the chairman of the vigilance committee and Judge Slocum, having the welfare and the reputation of the community at heart, escorted him to the county line on the day following his demonstration.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Dangerous Voyage. Deep-water sailors are apt to view with contempt the seamen who go on coastwise ships, but these longshoremen are often skillful, and certainly they are exposed to many dangers. A New York exchange describes the voyage of the schooner William Bell from Charlestown, S. C., to New London, Conn. It foundered at sea in a furious gale, and the captain and five men went down with it. Two seamen, named Lowd and Robinson, kept themselves afloat and found refuge on the root of the cabin, which had become detached. To this the two men clung until the hurricane had spent its fury. On this novel raft they spent five days and nights, without food or drink and with very little rest, as the waves frequently swept over them. Robinson twice slipped into the water, but each time was rescued by Lowd. In their hunger they ate part of their leather sea-boots, and when picked up by a passing schooner they were on the verge of delirium; but they were rescued in time, and soon recovered. Likes His Flats Occupied "It rather surprised me," said a flat-dweller, "to learn that the janitor would prefer to have all the flats in the building occupied. I should have thought that the more empty apartments there were, and so the fewer the people whose wants he would have to look after the less his work; but the reverse of this is the case, and really it's very simple. Flats that are unoccupied he has to look after and keep in order so that they may be of sightly appearance to people who come to look at them with a view to renting. The flats occupied are, of course, cared for by the people who live in them; and the work of looking after the people is less than that of looking after the empty flats would be. Hence aside from any personal pride in seeing the building under his care fully occupied, the janitor likes to see it so because in that condition it means less work for him."—N. Y. Sun. Revolt of Peasants. Reports from Bulgaria represent the recent agrarian riots in the Rustich district as a veritable peasants' revolt, aggravated by the fact that the troops, men and officers—at any rate, in some places—fraternized with the riots, with whom, as peasants' sons themselves, they heartily sympathized. The cause of the disturbance was the new tithe law. By this measure, which it was hoped would add 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 francs yearly to the revenue, the land tax, payable in money, was replaced, as regards cereals, by a tithe from threshed corn. For the last two years the harvests have been failures, but the land tax was nevertheless exacted, or charged against the landholders as a first mortgage. Many of the peasantry, therefore found themselves destitute—N. Y. Post. The Range Pony in Alaska. The best animal for the Klondike and inner Alaska has proved to be the range pony reared in the cold, mountainous country of Montana, northern Idaho and Washington. The pony weighs from 800 to 1,000 pounds and is giving much better service than the mule. He picks his way through stretches of bog where the mule mires, climbs glaciers and canyon sides where the mule turns back, and eats snow to quench his thirst, which the mule will not do. For prospecting purposes the trained pack pony is invaluable and the best means of transportation in Alaska.—Chicago Inter Ocean. In a Quandary. Sir William MacCormac, the president of the Royal College of Surgeons of London, is at times quite absent-minded. He is an indefatigable worker, and often to save time when working in his laboratory has a slight lunchon served there. Once his assistants heard him sigh heavily, and, looking up, saw the doctor glaring at two glass receptacles on his table. "What is the matter, doctor?" asked one of the youngsters. "Nothing in particular," was the reply, "only I am uncertain whether I drank the beef tea or that compound I am working on." When Cotton Workers Sufer "In the hot months the cotton workers suffer a great dead," says a Massachusetts manufacturer. "Some of our mills employ as many as 25,000 persons. There are hundreds and hundreds of persons working in the same room. You can imagine the state of the room when you know that not a window dare be raised. The air would damage the work. The life of a cotton worker is not to be enclosed." Generally the Case. Little Elmer—Papa, what is a pessimist?

SATURDAY, SEPT. 15, 190G COLORED people, teach your children politeness, even if you have to knock it into them with a flat-iron. COLORED men, there are many things to discourage us, but we are advancing and we must continue to press forward. The mental calibre of the colored Baptist divines in attendance upon the sessions of the National Baptist Convention was a revelation to many. Oh, there are thousands of white folks who wish us well and are constantly tendering courtesies to show that appreciation. But brethren, there are a great many of the other kind. REV. W. R. GULLINS, Rev. J. EDWARD GUNBY and Rev. ALEXANDER MO GUINE deserve the thanks of the Baptists for their uncompromising support of the movement to entertain the colored Baptists of this country. It was a fitting recognition of the support and encouragement which the colored Baptists have given them during their stay in this city. HON. WM. J. BRYAN has again dodged the race question, in so far as it concerns the disfranchisement of the colored man. When asked about it this week he talked about the Republican managers having done something equally as bad. This emphasizes four views, previously expressed; that if the colored people are to expect little from Candidate McKINLEY, they are to expect nothing from Candidate BRYAN. THE COLORED BAPTISTS BALLIED: THE annual session of the NATIONAL BAPTISP CONVENTION in this city last week was a success. The colored Baptists of Richmond entertained the 2000 delegates and visitors in royal style. Members of all of the Baptist churches united in sustaining the city's reputation for hospitality and the visitors were loud in their praises of their benefidence. This is a Baptist stronghold. More than 90 per cent of our colored population are Baptists or are of Baptist proclivities. It will be seen then that in order to entertain a convention of the size of the one assembled here, it was absolutely necessary to enlist the support of these people. When the call was made not only these people responded but the small congregation of the Methodist and Protestant Episcopal churches as well. Even white friends came forward with their donations and success was assured. We entertained these delegates and friends free of charge, and no debt is left upon us as a result of their coming. This fact carries with it a great lesson and is a practical demonstration of a lecture in politeness and go d'manners which will go a long way towards clearing the atmosphere in this section in the future. It became a question, not whether the colored Baptists could afford to entertain the NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION but whether they could afford not to entertain it. No delegate or visitor was homeless or hungry in Richmond, and when the officials of the Virginia Union University, thinking that the committee on entertainment would fall offered the r spacious dormitories to the convention, the offer was declined with thanks. However this action of the University authorities was an unintentional, but deserved rebukes to those who thought that the doors of Richmond would be closed against our own brethren. We congratulate the colored Baptists upon their ready response to the call of FIFTHST. BAPTIST CHURCH, for supporting it we helped Richmond, and added to the reputation of a people who are already well known for their sterling hospitality and good manners. LYNCHING IN VIRGINIA ANOTHER lynching in Virginia! This time it was PINKNEY MURPHY (colored) charged with criminally assaulting a white female, Miss ELLEN BOSWORTH Friday, Sept 14th. The charge and the crime are revolting in its details. Still it furnishes no justifiable excuse for over-riding the law and disregarding the funde mental principles of Christianity. The newspapers denominate the murderers of MURPHY as gentlemen. It has become popular now to stretch the neck of a helpless citizen of color and to riddle with bullets the body of an unarmed man. He was lynched in a state which makes the attempt to commit a crime as heinous as the crime itself by providing death as the punishment. In the eyes of the law he is as much of a felon as was Murphy, but he is a white man. It is these inqualities of the law that are slickening. We must continue the sigation, believing that sooner or later, lynch law must go! Lending Money on Pledges The origin of borrowing money by means of pledges deposited with lenders is referred to Perugia, Italy, about 1462. This was done in charitable institutions termed "onti di Pieti," in charge of the Franciscanus. No interest was charged at first, but the charging of interest was permitted by the pope in 1515. The bishop of Winchester is said to have established the system of lending on pledges without interest. The business of pawnbroking was regulated in 1756 and licenses issued in 1783. A Puzzler.

London, Sept. 19.—The Daily Telegraph publishes the following from Lorenzo Marques, dated yesterday: A pitched battle has been fought midway between Kaap Mulden and Hector Spruit, resulting in heavy Boer losses. The Boers removed and now threaten to destroy the cogwheels of locomotives used between Waterval-Boven and Watervalvalonder, without which the railway cannot be worked. They have blocked and damaged the railway for six miles on the Crocodile Poort section, have destroyed the culverts and the Hector Spruit bridge, and looted and burned Komati Poort. The British are now at Komati Poort, and heavy fighting is proceeding. GENERAL MARKETS.

BOTH SIDES STILL DETERMINED. President Mitchell Declares His "Confident Belief That the Number at Work Will Grow Less With Each Succeeding Day"—Strikers Orderly. Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 19.—The second day of the anthracite coal strike failed to bring forth anything that would lead to the coming together of the coal operators and the striking mine workers. Neither side has approached the other, and as far as could be learned there is no such move contemplated by either the operators or their employees. Unless there is a break in the ranks of it it seems that a third party will have to step into the breach and try to bring the two forces together. President Mitchell, in his statement last evening on the situation throughout the entire anthracite region, estimates that about 6,000 additional mine A. workers laid down their tools yesterday, making a total of 118,000 mine workers idle. He declares further: "From every section of the anthracite region reports indicate that much dissatisfaction prevails among have up to this time failed to participate in the strike, and we confidently expect that the number at work will grow less with each succeeding day until the mines shall be completely closed." The day was entirely devoid of important developments in this district, and what little change there was in the situation was in favor of the striking workers. It was estimated Monday that of 16,000 mine workers in the Hazleton region about 8,000 did not start work. Although the majority of the operators and mine superintendents give no figures, they insist that they are holding their own. All was quiet in Hazleton yesterday, with the exception of a few petty cases of breach of the peace. A crowd of mine workers, numbering a hundred, marched from McAdoo through the South Side, but caused no trouble. At Jeanesville 75 men at work fled upon their approach. ARMING THE TRAINMEN Railroaders Carry Coal Escorted by a Squid of Detectives. K Squad of Detectives. Scranton, Pa., Sept. 19.—Conditions are unchanged in the miners' strike. Not a pound of coal is being mined, and the number of washeries at work remains unchanged. The Columbus washery, which supplies fuel for the electric light, city steam and trolley plants, and which shut down Monday, resumed yesterday with some old and some new men, but the strikers evened things up by inducing the 20 men at the adjacent Carbon Coal company's washery to turn out. This washery was bent on working night and day. Late Monday night the men were stoned from a hill overlooking the culm piles and driven to seek shelted in the engine room, but when the assailants dispersed operations were resumed. At 9 o'clock in the morning a crowd of more than a hundred and women assembled near the washery, and by jeers, threats and cat calls induced the whole force to quit work and go home. The strikers persuaded a Delaware, Lackawanna and Western crew to go back to the yard without the train load of coal which they were sent to take out of the switch of the Diamond washery. Later the engine and crew returned, carrying a squad of detectives and a case of rifles. The strikers had gone away in the interim, and the coal train was taken out without incident. FEAR TROUBLE IN LYKENS VALLEY Strikers Threaten to Compel Non-Unionists to Quit Work. Harrisburg, Sept. 19.—Trouble is brewing in the Lykens valley region between the union and non-union anthracite miners over the refusal of the men at Williamstown to join the strike. The mine employees in the neighboring towns of Lykens and Wiconisco are on strike, and threaten to compel the Williamstown men to quit work. A meeting of the Williamstown men was held last night, at which it was decided to stand firm against any attempt on the part of the strikers to force them to join the strike. Sheriff Reiff yesterday swore in 150 deputies, who will act in conjunction with a double force of watchmen on duty at the Williamstown colliery. A meeting of strikers was also held last night at Lykens, at which it was resolved to stand firm for the demands made by the miners' union, and use every honorable effort to induce the Williamstown men to join them. Organizer Miles Daugherty, of Shamokin, is working among the miners in that region, and District President John Fahey is expected on the ground today. Some of the strikers at Lykens and Wiconisco threaten to drive out the men at Williamstown before Saturday, and serious trouble may be expected at any time. There has been bad blood between the Lykens and Wiconisco miners and the men at Williamstown ever since the refusal of the former, in 1886, to join the latter in their strike against a reduction of wages. GENERAL SOUTHERN NEWS. Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 1K—Miss Brookie Cook, dependent on a love affair, shot herself with a pistol in the right breast yesterday at the home of a neighbor on Coal Fork of Cabin creek.

Savar uah, Ga., Sept. 18.—Six negroes paid the penalty of their lives last evening for their unwillingness to wait 20 minutes for a ferryboat.

They were in a hurry to reach the city, and embarked in a small flat bottom bateau, which was capsized by the swell of a passing boat. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 17.—James D. Flynn, of Newport News, has been named as the labor candidate for congress from the Second Virginia district. This announcement was made this morning as a result of an all-day conference of labor organizations held in Norfolk yesterday. The nominee is a machinist, employed in the shipyard at Newport News. Pledmont, W. Va., Sept. 17.—Mr. Samuel Jones, of Floyd, Garrett county, Md., was in town today and carried off the honors of the "giant of Garrett county."

He has a wife and three children and is a farmer by occupation. Charlottesville, Va., Sept. 17.—Jerry Cottrell, colored, was lodged in jail here this evening charged with the murder of his half sister, Margaret, 10 miles south of Charlottesville. The negro, who is believed to be insane, first assaulted his mother, and then with a stone beat out his sister's brains. The crime occurred at 7 o'clock this morning. Cottrell made his escape, but was captured this afternoon. Richmond, Sept. 14.—At a meeting yesterday of Republicans at New Kent Courthouse delegates were elected to the Republican congressional convention of this district, which meets in Manchester Oct. 16. They were instructed to vote for a gold Democrat. The sentiment of the meeting was that no Republican could be elected in this district, and policy dictated this course. This is the first meeting in Virginia to instruct for a gold Democratic nominee for congress. Petersburg, Sept. 14.—Rev. H. W. Battle, D. D., a pastor of the First Baptist church in this city, received tonight a telegram announcing the critical illness of his father, Gen. Cullen A. Battle, at his home at Newbern, N. C. The telegram stated that Gen. Battle was not expected to live, and Dr. Battle left at once for his father's bedside. During the civil war Gen. Battle was one of the most prominent generals in the Confederate army, having commanded an Alabama brigade. Columbia, S. C., Sept. 17.—At Rock Hill, S. C., Saturday morning Harry A. Brown was shot dead by Paul R. Brattton. Brattton and his brother John drove from Yorkville, 15 miles away, and when they were received at the door of Brown's house at 1 a.m. by the latter's brother-in-law Paul Brattton slipped in behind and fired two shots into the room where Brown was sleeping with his wife. The victim died in half an hour. The Brattons and their negro driver, Will Caldwell, were arrested. Memphis, Sept. 14.—A masked mob of between 60 and 100 men broke into the jail at Tunica, Miss., early today and took out three negroes, whom they strung up to a tree within 100 yards of the jail. Not a shot was fired. The dead negroes are Frank Brown, who shot Frank Cheshire, a prosperous planter, at Oak Landing, six months ago; David Moore, who shot Dosewell ten days ago, and William Brown, who, with confederates, shot and cut to death a young white man at State Levee last month. Jellico, Tenn., Sept. 14.—The conference between coal operators and miners in the southeastern Kentucky and Jellico coal fields ended last night, the miners accepting the proposition of the operators, which was an advance of $7 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent over the wage scale of last year, which expired on Aug. 31. The advance on the rate per ton is from 45 to $47 \frac{1}{2}$ cents. The agreement is binding on all the union miners in the Kentucky and Tennessee-Jellico field, the Middlesborough district, the Cincinnati southern district and the Coal Creek and Briceville districts. Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 18. The first really sensational testimony in the trial of James Howard, charged with having fired the shot that killed William Goebel, was given yesterday. Howman Gaines, a local liverman, positively identified Howard as the man who ran out from the rear of the state house grounds and jumped over the fence immediately after the shooting. James Stubblefield, a one legged and one armed ex-deputy sheriff of Clay county, testified that Howard exultingly told him that he fired the shot that took Goebel's life, adding: "I never sight down my gun barrel but what I get meat or money, and this time I got both." Howard, he says, declared he believed his mountain friends would stand by him and that 500 men could not take him to Frankfort for trial. A CINCINNATI HOLOGUST. six Dead and Two Fatally Injured In a Nursery. Cincinnati, Sept. 18.—An old four-story tenement building at No. 403 East Front street, used as a branch nursery of the Salvation Army, burned last evening and its occupants were so imprisoned that six were suffocated to death and others seriously injured.

Berlin, Sept. 19.—The foreign office has sent a circular note to all the powers announcing that the German government considers that an indispensable preliminary to the beginning of peace negotiations with China is the delivering up of those who were responsible for the outrages. The note declares further: "Wholesalese executions would be contrary to the civilized conscience, and the circumstances of such a group of leaders cannot be completely ascertained. But a few whose guilt is notorious should be delivered up and punished. The representatives of the powers at Pekin are in a position to give or bring forward convincing evidence. Less importance attaches to the number punished than to the character as chief instigators as leaders. The government proposes that the cabinets concerned should instruct their representatives at Pekin to indicate those leading Chinese personages from whose guilt in instigating or perpetrating outrages all doubt is excluded." London, Sept. 19.—"On the eve of Li Lung Chang's departure," says the Shanghai correspondent of The Daily Express, wiring yesterday, "he received a strongly worded cablegram from Lord Salisbury, declaring that the British government would insist upon the return of Emperor Kwang Su to Pekin as an absolutely essential condition of peace negotiations, without which the dissolution of the Chinese empire was inevitable. Lord Salisbury informed Earl Li that all desired to preserve China, but nothing would divert them from their invovable intention of punishing those responsible for the outrages, whom they would, if necessary, pursue all over China." Reading, Pa., Sept. 19.—Since the strike has extended into the Schuylkill region the Reading company expects a greatly reduced output. The coal mined Monday was sent through yesterday. There were over 1,200 cars. During Saturday and Sunday the shipments amounted to 3,700 cars. Should the strike in Schuylkill territory result in a reduced product it will affect an army of men in the train service. Up Goes the Price of Coal. Philadelphia, Sept. 19.—The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company and all the local dealers yesterday advanced the price of coal 25 and 50 cents a ton, respectively.

HUNDREDS OF BODIES CREMATED. Burning the Bodies to Prevent a Terrible Pestilence-The Death List Estimated at Five to Six Thousand, Though It Will Never Be Known, Galveston, Sept. 19.—The work of clearing the streets of debris is progressing rapidly under the perfect organization instituted by military rule under Adutant General Scurry. Over 2,000 men are engaged on the work. Ninety-eight bodies are reported as having been found in the wreckage and removed yesterday, making a total of 1,861 victims so far recovered. The list is far short of the accurate number of dead found, because no official records are kept. Bodies found are buried or cremated, and no systematic record has been kept. Over a hundred bodies were recovered and cremated on Sunday, and on Monday as many well. Several hundred bodies have thus been burned on funeral pyres of which there can be no exact record. The water works system is being gradually restored and the mains are now supplying the various hospitals. The electric lights are also being rapidly pushed. "There are only ten houses in a habitable condition south of High Island," says H. S. H. Spangler, general-manager of the Gulf and Interstate Railway company, who returned yesterday from a tour of inspection of the property of his company. "There were thousands of bodies of dead animals and about 350 bodies of human beings there. The latter have been partially buried in the hands and feet are protruding from the earth in many places and there are not enough people left in that section to bury the dead." Mr. Spangler will endeavor to get a party from here to go over and complete the work of hurrying the dead. Recent discoveries emphasize the heroism of the sisters in charge of the Catholic orphan asylum. It is shown that when the sisters found the waters rising all around the asylum their only thoughts were for their charges. They tied the children in bunches, and then each sister fastened to herself one of these bunches of orphans, determined to save them or die with them. Two of these bunches have been found under wreckage, and in each case eight children had been fastened together and then tied to a sister. Governor Sayers asks that the following be published: "Reports sent out that $800,000 or $800,000 has already been paid are absolutely false and calculated to do great harm to the needy sufferers on our coast. No such sum of money has been received, or anything approaching it. It is believed that the stories have done great harm, in that they have prevented the contribution of money which is so sorely needed at Galveston." The presence of the troops has had a beneficial effect upon the criminal classes, and the apprehension of a brief, but desperate reign of anarchy no longer exists. The liquor saloons have at least temporarily gone out of business. Orders were issued to the soldiers and police to kill any person caught in the act of robbing the dead. Altogethe 125 vandals, black and white, were summarily executed last week. It is found that so-called camera fiends have been shot down, as well as the ghouls who despoiled the dead. Two were summarily shot dead Saturday by guards, who declare that the photographers were detected in the act of photographing the nude bodies of dead women and girls. Their cameras were smashed by the soldiers and the negatives were destroyed. The Delaware Compromise Held Up. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 19.—The Union Republican (Addicks) state committee met yesterday to take action toward ratifying the compromise state ticket agreed on by the Republican state committee on Friday last. They refused to accept Dr. L. Helisler Ball, the present state treasurer, who is the compromise candidate for congress. The Union Republicans submitted to the Republican state committee the names of six Republicans of Wilmington, any one of whom would be acceptable for congress in place of Dr. Ball. They also object to Purnell B. Norman, the compromise candidate for state auditor. The rest of the compromise ticket was ratified. This closes negotiations for harmony at present. Bryan's New York Reception New York, Sept. 19.—The preliminary arrangements for the reception to William J. Bryan were perfected last night at a meeting of the Tammany Hall committee on ratification. In a speech Mr. Croker said that it was the desire of Tammany Hall to tender to Mr. Bryan the greatest reception ever given to a presidential candidate. He predicted that 100,000 voters would assemble in and around Madison Square on Oct. 16, the night of the reception. Mr. Bryan has already signified his intention to speak, and that his voice may be heard in all parts of the garden a large sounding board will be erected behind the speakers' platform. Frightened His Wife to Death: Chicago, Sept. 19—Mrs. Florence Buehler died at the county hospital Monday evening because her husband, Ernest Buehler, frightened her. He threatened to kill her. She was so terrified that she fell unconscious into the street, where they were walking at ed up in the police station, where he committed suicide by puncturing the artery in his wrist with a pin. Mrs. Buehler, after falling unconscious, was taken to the hospital, where she remained until her death. A WEEK'S NEWS CONDENSED. Thursday, Sept. 13. The population of Camden, N.

Altoona, Pa., Sept. 19.—The anthracite coal operators need expect no aid from the bituminous operators in their struggle against the miners. At a recent meeting the operators of this district decided not to meddle in the troubles of the eastern district. They are having plain sailing at present, and do not desire to court trouble. They have all the orders they can fill at present and some are behind because of a lack of cars during the summer. The strike will divert the cars to the bituminous field and the operators are looking for the best business in their history this fall. There is no talk of a sympathy strike.

A crowd of old confederates were swapping war stories when one of them told the following to a Louisville Counter-Journal man: "One of the most striking figures in the armies of the west was Gen. John Magruder, C.S.A. He was what might be called a 'Murat' of a man, for in the hardest times 'Prince John' could always show a natty uniform, and he always went into battle, the soldiers said, with enough fuss and feathers to have marched down a dozen men. It was evidently his determination to die not only with his boots on, but with all his good clothes as well. Added to his love of dress was a fondness for good eating that led him to every promising home near a camping ground. "On one occasion, with his staff, he rode up to a handsome, old-fashioned home in Tennessee, and with his most courtyard bow and gallant manner hinted that food would not be unacceptable to famished soldiers. The 'lady of the mansion' bade him enter and hastily sent servants running hither and thither to provide a meal for such handsome and gallant soldiers. "About the time the dinner was weighing down the table and just before the officers had been invited to enter the dining-room, a poor private, who in peace would have been styled a gentleman, sneaked up to the back door and begged a bite to eat. "The hospitable hostess, absolutely ignorant of military etiquette, told him to 'come in immediately, that dinner was just on the table.' "The officers, Gen. Magruder and the rest are just getting ready to eat,' he said; 'you are in nice time.' "Had he not been so hungry the private might have run on the spot. But hunger conquered all fears and he quickly followed his hostess to the dining-room, determined to snatch a few bites and run before he could be sent to the guard house. "The officers had not entered. The private slipped into a seat and began a savage attack on the food before him. Chicken, ham, and everything in sight HE WAS TOO BUSY TO TALK and reach were seized by the soldier. When 'Prince John' and the staff came he expected nothing more than death. "The door opened, and with the host- ess on his arm Gen. Magruder entered the dining-room. "In a moment the general saw the private. "What are you doing here?" thunder- dered the officer. "The private sent half a corn-pone to join the chicken he had just swallowed and reached for a piece of ham." He was too busy to talk. "Sirrah, do you know with whom you are to eat?" "The soldier never looked up. He only grunted out between bites: 'Don't know—don't care—was a time when I was mighty particular. All that gone. Too hungry—willing to eat with anybody.' "He was allowed to finish his meal." One of the most terrible conflicts of the civil war occurred near Centralia, Boone county, Mo., in the afternoon of Tuesday, September 27, 1864. Nearly 200 federal soldiers, commanded by Maj. A. V. E. Johnson, of the Thirty-ninth Missouri infantry, riding out after guerrillas, met there Capts. Bill Anderson and George Todd, with 225 men. Scarcely a dozen of the federal soldiers escaped with their lives, while of the guerrillas two only were killed and one mortally wounded. There is nowhere in the history of the world record of a charge more destructive than that made on the fair September afternoon. Every man in the federal line of battle perished, and only half a score of those left to hold the horses got away—St. Louis Republic. Economy. Economy no more means saving money than it means spending money.

"This soldier, at the risk of his own life, saved the life of an officer who had been shot down and overpowered by superior numbers," are the words of the special act of congress pased in 1863, by which Assistant Secretary of War O. W. Melklejohn is authorized to send Daniel R. Moore, bailiff in the sheriff's office and attached to Judge Ball's court, the medal which he received from the war department a few days ago for conspicuous gallantry shown at Fort Elkely, Ala., April 9, 1865, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Mr Moore has never pressed his claims to be awarded the medal in all these years, but his friends have put the case before the war department on several occasions, and now, after 35 years, he is decorated by his country. And since his mother was a native of Illinois this DANIEL B. MOORE. state has a share in his gallant deed. Mr. Moore was born in Iowa county, Wisconsin, in 1838, his father being one of the first white settlers and a fighter in the Black Hawk war. His elder brother was the first white child born in Wisconsin. At the opening of the civil war Mr. Moore enlisted in the Eleventh Wisconsin, company E, and went first to Missouri, serving there with the Thirty-third Illinois in a brigade under Col. Hovey, and later in the Thirteenth army corps under Gen. McClellan. He was through the fight at Vicksburg, and after enlisting in Texas went with the Seventeenth army corps to Mobile. Then, at the attack on Fort Blakely, to use his own words, the company in which he was a corporal received orders to charge the enemy's defenses, and nine of us got into one of the open spaces or roads between the works by which they brought up their pickets, and seven of the nine were shot down. Lieut. Angus McDonald, who was leading us, and I, however, jumped over into the fort, and he was promptly shot down, and then one of the enemy rushed up and wounded him in the thigh with his bayonet, and was about to thrust once again into the lieutenant's side when I shot him, and then fought with the butt of my gun over the body and kept them all off until the position was taken. I was wounded in the head with a bayonet, but escaped without injury of a lasting nature. For this I was made a brevet captain, and later was recommended for the medal. The lieutenant returned to Madison, Wis., and died there in 1891. While I am proud to be so decorated. I never would have pressed for it. The medal is of copper, hanging by a ribbon of the national colors from a bar and inscribed as follows: "THE CONGRESS TO SERGT. DANIEL B. MOORE, COMPANY E. ELEVENTH WISCONSIN INFANTRY, FOR GALLANTRY AT FORT BLAKELY, ALABAMA, APRIL 9, 1965." GRANT'S GENEROSITY. Shares His Personal Supply of Currency with a Captured Confederate. Representative Vespasian Warner spoke from personal acquaintance with his subject when he made one of the addresses accepting the Grant statue paced in the capitol recently, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Warner carried a musket in the Twentieth Illinois at the time Grant was a captain, stationed at Springfield and engaged in mobilizing the Illinois volunteers. He was a boy of 19 at that time. Grant commanded the Twenty-first Illinois. He took a fancy to the boy subaltern and showed him many personal kindnesses. It was somewhat due to Grant's recognition of young Warner's capabilities that the private soldier obtained his first commission. The tribute which Mr. Warner made to the great commander's memory came straight from the heart. It contained this story illustrative of Grant's character: "He fought battles not for the purpose of killing men, but for the purpose of saving his country, and when a battle was over he wished to take his enemies to his heart and make them his and his country's friends. I do not believe he ever had an unkind feeling for any man, living or dead, whether he wore the blue or the gray, and I do believe his great heart went out to all. When Gen. Buckner, at Fort Donelson, asked that commissioners might be appointed to consider the question of capitulation, Gen. Grant answered that such commissioners were unnecessary, adding that he purposed to move immediately upon their works. That was grant, the general. Gen. Buckner surendered unconditionally, and that night, after 'taps', Gen. Grant found and entered Gen. Buckner's tent, and, taking out his pocketbook, said: 'Gen. Buckner, you are a prisoner and will be sent north. I presume you have no money that is current with us, and I wish to share mine with you.' That was Grant, the man." Off at Last.

"You doubt me!" he at length exclaimed, "Have I not told you over and over again that I love you, and you only; and did I ever tell you an untruth, Katherine?" "I would that I could have absolute faith in you," she replied, stifling a sob; "but I heard you tell uncle that you once caught a brook trout that weighed three pounds and six ounces."

THE BEST PRICE At the PLANET OFFICE P MRS. MARTM, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test Medium reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted upon all affairs of life, business, love and marriage a specialty. 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, enemies, 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. MRS. MARTH 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 have and his name, business and date of maintenance. All your future will be told in a cleat and plain manner and in a sequence. 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 seruples 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 one 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 may ask the reason why It is simply the these advisers do not take the urge to study hun an nature. They do not spurn 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 is will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a person is the art used by many unprinciped mediums, but to take hold of 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 consulting Ms. Marth the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there are infringers 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 becoming and untiring effort, the key to the wall 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., 10 P.M. MRS. M. B. MARTHI. 246 W. 81st St., (near 8th Ave.), NewYork City. Enclose stamp for reply.

Tiny Little Mouse, Released by the Doctor in His Office, Threw Her Off Her Guard and Exposed Her as an Impostor. Physicians often have to exercise great care to avoid becoming the victims of imposition. If a dishonest applicant for a pension can hoodwink some doctor, the latter's certificate may be made the means of perpetrating a fraud upon the government; and social parasites who seek to sponge on public and charitable institutions are always trying to inveigle a physician into saying the word or writing the line which would gain them admission. An interesting case in point was related by the leading oculist of Montreal, a man whose practice extended far outside of the bounds of that city. One day a young woman came into his office, accompanied by an elder woman, apparently the mother. The young woman wore colored glasses, which one might have assumed to be superfluous; as it was claimed that the girl was totally blind. What was wanted of the doctor was a certificate authenticating this claim of blindness, putting it beyond dispute; and it was frankly stated that the object in seeking this was to obtain certain aids and advantages of a philanthropic nature impossible of access otherwise. The standing of the oculist was such that a statement from him would carry full weight wherever presented. On examination the surface of the eyes give no indication of any defect; but that might be so and blindness still exist. Applying tests of the strongest light, the girl professed herself to be absolutely unable to distinguish between light and darkness. Other tests were resorted to, trying in their nature, and some of them very painful; and these were all borne with patience and LITTLE MOUSE RETRAYED HER courage. The doctor was puzzled and baffled. Apparently the girl was stone blind, but he was unable to solve the problem of those eyes, to discover the cause of that blindness or say just where the defect lay. The doctor was more than half disposed to grant the desired certificate, when, as a last expedient, he hit upon a novel experiment. He dismissed his patient, with instructions that she should come again at a certain hour the following day, and this gave the oculist time to arrange for the carrying out of his plan. When the girl came the next day the doctor had her securely blindfolded with a heavy bandage over her eyes. He then took a tiny mouse which he had procured and held the lively little thing by its tail before the girl's face, though not touching her, while he ordered the bandage to be removed. No sooner was the bandage off than her screams rang through the place and her eyes were wide with terror at the harmless little rodent, which had thrown her so completely off her guard and exposed the imposture. Of course, she saw it, or she would not have screamed. Needless to say, the applicant did not get that certificate. Horse Pulled Farmer's Tooth. William J. Smith, a well-known resident of Babylon, N. Y., had one of his large front teeth pulled out by a horse. He was at work on the horse when it became restless from the flies, and switched its tail viciously. Smith, who was smoking a pipe, tried to calm the horse. Suddenly, to his astonishment, the horse's tail caught on the stem of the pipe and yanked the pipe out of Smith's mouth, carrying a large front tooth with it. The tooth was extracted as quickly as if the operation had been performed by a dentist, Smith says, and with no more pain. The tooth was perfectly sound. A Feat Quite Beyond Him: A Scottish prison chaplain, recently appointed, entered one of the cells on his first round of inspection, and with much pomposity thus addressed the prisoner who occupied it: "Well, my man, do you know who I am?" "No, nor I dinnna care!" was the non-chalant reply. "Well, I'm your new chaplain." "Oh, ye are? Then I have heard o' ye before!" "And what did you hear?" returned the chaplain, his curiosity getting the better of his dignity. "Well, I heard that the last two kirks we were in ye preached them baith empty; but ye willna find it such an earr matter to do the same wi this one." The Weight of Water. A sheet of water one inch thick and one acre in area, it is said, weighs 101 tons. ROYAL SMOKERS. Germany's emperor confessed recently that of all his habits smoking had the greatest hold over him. "When I am not asleep I am smoking, and when I am asleep I often dream of the 'subtle poison.' The sultan of Turkey sent me a few months ago a hundred boxes of his choice cigarettes. These are the boxes." His majesty pointed toward a row of delicately "got up" tins. "But the cigarettes are not in them; they have ended in smoke." This pretty little aecdote about the boy king in Spain is now given: A short time ago the queen regent was telling her son how poor his country, Spain, was becoming, and what need there would be of reform and economy in many respects. "Mother," said the young monarch in embryo, "I have quite made up my mind that we must all give something for the sake of my country — some luxury. I, for my part, have determined to give up smoking!" Margherita, the dowager queen of Italy, once said to the prince of Wales: "I can overlook many faults of a man and can make allowances for his shortcomings. One fault, however, I cannot overlook, and that is—his not smoking. When my husband, the king, is annoyed I give him his pipe; when he is good-tempered I give him a cigarette; when I want him to do something particular for me I give him a cigar. With a pipe I can console him, with a cigarette I can delight him, and with a cigar I can lead him anyhow and anywhere." The duke of York is a cigarette smoker. He once said to the czar of Russia: "A short time ago I had an idea that cigarettes were bad for me, so I determined to limit myself to five smokes a day. The first day I managed to exist on the number I had determined upon smoking. The second day I smoked all five before luncheon and felt miserable during the rest of the day. The third day I smoked the five judiciously, but still felt a great 'wanting'. The fourth day I couldn't stand it any longer and so smoked 15 cigarettes to make up for my self-denial during the other days." POINTED PARAGRAPHS Whisky is an accurate senses taker. Gloves are unsalable when they are kept on hand. A man is made either great or small by his own will. Close quarters are to be found in a stingy man's dollar. A policeman's club contains enough lumber to floor a man. Children and fools are very apt to seize upon unanswerable arguments. The average politician will promise anything one minute and forget it the next. When women cry it gives them time to think of some other excuse besides because. When a man's temperature reaches the limit he is either hot-headed or has cold feet. It is useless to argue with some people, but lawbreakers are always open to conviction. It must be a consolation to the poor bride to know that she at least wasn't married for her money. If wives didn't insist on their husbands working the lawn mower overtime there might be fewer grass widows. The delegate who rose to a point of order after sitting down on the aggressive end of a pin was assured by the chairman that the point was well taken—Chicago Daily News. BOOKS AND AUTHORS. Prince Tuan is a man of letters as well as a Chinese warrior. He is the author of a romance entitled "The Night Flower of the Anshu Valley." He is a patron of Chinese art and has one of the finest porcelain collections in the empire. The Chinese began to write books before they migrated from the region south of the Caspian sea. Two of their greatest literary productions are a dictionary in 5.020 volumes and an encyclopedia in 22,937 volumes. Dr. J. H. Breasted, professor of Egyptology in the University of Chicago, has just been appointed by the emperor of Germany to superintend the publication of his new Egyptian dictionary. This lexicon will enable students of ethnology to study the hieroglyphics in the museums throughout the world. This is an excellent compliment to an American scholar. Another interesting English literary landmark is soon to disappear in the shape of the house in Richmond to which George Eliot and Mr. Lewes went to live in 1855, and which was their home for more than three years. During that time George Eliot wrote her "Seenes from Clerical Life" and "Adam Bede." The house is soon to be demolished. ABBREVIATIONS OF STATES. Concerning states: What is the most religious state?

Widow Not a Married Woman The high court of justice of England has decided, in the case of Rudall vs. Nicols, that under certain circumstances a "widow" is not a "married woman." A man by his will had directed a certain sum to be paid to his "now married" daughter, E. M. D., and certain other sums to be paid to each of his daughters who at the time of dividing the estate should be a "married woman." At the time of the division E. M. D. was a widow. The justice decided that within the meaning of the will E. M. D. was not a "married woman." OF GENERAL INTEREST. An estimate of the rice acreage in eastern Texas this year places it at 30,000. Arthur Zimmerman, the old-time champion, is now managing a hotel in a New Jersey summer resort. Japanese are being introduced into California to work in the mines in Nevada City. They get one dollar a day, and board themselves. Sailors are very scarce at Honolulu. The German ship Hera had to pay $25 a man for the run from that place to Puget Sound. Prize fighters never train off anything like as many pounds in proportion to their weight as jockeys. They couldn't keep their strength if they did. Vacation cards, issued by a public library in Somerville, Mass., are good during July and August, and those who possess them are permitted to take out ten books at a time and return them within four weeks by mail or express and exchange them for another ten books. ARMY AND NAVY. Hereafter boys who enlist in the navy will not have to buy their uniforms. The tube of a 12-inch gun has 50 spiral grooves inside, which cause the shot to revolve 75 times per second as it rushes through the air. In India mounted officers traveling by rail on temporary duty, may, if they prefer it, take a bicycle with them at government expense, in lieu of a charger. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The gossip and the hypocrite are twins. A spare moment is a golden nugget of time. You can always have the law at actual cost. The nurse maid accepts more or less hush money. A wise man never covets a thing he can live without. Too many men mistake their faults for misfortunes. There is nothing so bad but what good may come of it. Only the very poor man is absolutely sure of his friends. The rich man has troubles of which the poor man knows nothing. Honesty is a policy on which anyone can afford to pay the premiums. According to the merchant's creed the best book is a profitable ledger. Youth may be impetuous, but it usually possesses the merit of sincerity. Blood will tell—therefore it is unwise to confide a secret to your relatives. Never be ashamed to show your respect for honesty in whatever guise it may appear. The sweetest natures are those possessing the faculty of being contented under all circumstances. Lots of men would rather swindle a fellow man out of a nickel than earn a dollar by honest labor. A woman says her husband is such a blunderer that he can't try on a new shoe without putting his foot in it. "A Word to Women" is the title of a new book by a bachelor author. He managed to get in the first word, but the women are sure to have the last. -Chicago Daily News. NEWSPAPER HISTORY. The first Russian newspaper appeared in 1703. The first French newspaper was founded in 1632. The first Swedish newspaper was the Argus, founded in 1730. In 1720 there was a printing press in Jamaica, West Indies.

The first Turkish newspaper was Le Courrier de Smyrne, founded in 1826. In 1851 the shah of Persia officially permitted the publication of a newspaper. The first press Chill owned was brought from the United States in 1810. The first German newspaper was Das Frankerfurter Journal, founded in 1615. The first English newspaper appeared in 1619. It was called the Weekly News. The first paper founded in New York was the New York Gazette, founded October 16, 1725.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the poet, is said to have been offered a chair in the University of Chicago. Publishers say books on the Hispano-American war do not sell. The authors write too much about strategy and too little about individual acts of heroism. The Berkshire Historical society, of Lenox, Conn., proposes to make a public park of the large maple grove in which, until 1890, stood the "Little Red House" where Nathaniel Hawthorne lived from 1850 to 1852. Amelia E. Barr, who has been the mother of 14 children, has written 32 books, prepared a professor for Princeton college, and at threesecond years of age is a superb picture of vitality—as fresh and sweet of heart as a young girl. The Bookman predicts that the vogue of the colonial romance is about over, and that it will be followed by the temporary reign of the religious novel. It bases this bold prophecy upon the discussion that James Lane Allen's "The Reign of Law" is creating, and upon the growing success of the pioneer book of the movement—"The Redemption of David Corson," by Rev. Charles Frederic Goss, formerly the occupant of the pulpit of Moody's church in Chicago. As the latter novel is now in its twenty-sixth thousand it may well claim more attention than the average critic has thus far bestowed upon it. His Preference The Lady Bountiful of the parish was going her rounds, and called at small cottage occupied by a "model" peasant, whose wife had been an invalid for some years. "And how is Mary to-day?" inquired the visitor. "Just about the same, thankee kindly, mem," was the reply. "Did she enjoy those little things I sent her yesterday?" asked the lady. "The things come all right, mem, an' we be greatly obleeged; but, if I might make so bold, would ye not send her any more of that jelly? Some jam—strawberry jam—be much more sootable, mem." "Why, doesn't she care for the jelly?" was the natural query. "Yes, mem, she do; but I can't say as I does."—London Mail. Eagle Took the Trap Along: A young man who was hunting recently in the Alleghenies, near Red Oak Knob, Va., shot a large bald eagle. The bird measured seven feet two inches across the wings. When the hunter went to examine the prize, says the New York Tribune, he was astonished to find one of the eagle's claws held firmly in a powerful steel trap, to which was attached a steel chain five feet long. Trap and chain had marks of vicious blows from the eagle's beak, showing how he had vainly endeavored to free himself from them. They had not interfered with his flight, however.

He is not a graduate from any university, having been born a slave, and was a man when emancipated, but boasts on employing graduates to do the work of the negro Baptists. His report showed that in the future it would be necessary for the colored man to unite and make places for his boys and girls. The Rev. Dr. E. W. D Isaac, of Nashville, Secretary of the National Baptist Young People's Union, delivered an address which was telling in its tone. A sermon was preached at night by Rev. Dr. L. L. Campbell of Austin, Texas. The climax was reached when on last Sunday afternoon the magnificent and spacious auditorium of the Richmond Traction Company was thrown open for the first time to the National Baptist Convention. This edifice seats 10,000 persons and a steady stream of colored people the like of which had never been seen before flowed into it. Each whether willingly or unwillingly contributed ten cents each to the foreign mission work. The ushers were in full dress suits. Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., with the bridge of the National Baptist Convention, on the lapel of his coat, was wreathed in smiles and all Richmond recognized as fact that he had crowned his efforts with the most magnificent meeting of the decade.

The choir of 100 voices was under the management of Mr. Alexander McCoy and well did they sing, "Jesus Savior Pilot Me." The first speaker was Rev. J. C. Jackson, of Anderson, S. C. who discussed the missionary work. He was followed by Rev. C. S. Morris, one of the ablest pulpit orators now before the American people. HAS VISITED AFRICA. He has visited Africa. He made a most pathetic and emphatic appeal to the audiences. He took up one by one the various objections against missions in Africa, showing why we should seek to evangelize that people. He spoke of his experience on ship-board bound for Africa. His appeal was most pathetic and a wrench of approval swept over the vast ocean he took his seat. Rev. B. Byrne, pastor of the Wheat St. Baptist Church spoke next. He explained that his speech was in the satchel of the secretary and their forerun, was like a pastor without a sermon. He spoke of the work of the Foreign Mission Department. "I feel like going on" was sung. Fleet had going on was sung Rev. L. N. Cheek of Missouri then addressed the body. He urged the necessity of supporting missions. Miss E. B. B. DeLaney was introduced Rev. E. B. Koti of Africa then snooke DIED HERE. Rev. J. H. Allen, of Texas, who came here to attend the National Bapt. Convention, died Tuesday, 18th at 7:50 a.m, at 310 W. Baker St. His body was sent home at 2 p.m. by A. Hayes, the funeral director.

N. E. Campbell, M. D. against the said convention for $1200 in the result Court of the City of Richmond, was without foundation or merit who were; so much that, that the Dr. D. N. E. Campbell on his own motion came to the office of the Attorney and voluntarily withdrew his suit and at the same time withdrew all charges he had made against the Foreign Mission Board of the said convention and said he had acted hastily upon the advice of others; and that' the said Mr. Campbell admitted that the brethren had done no act to justify him in bringing a suit which he exceedingly regretted and asked forgiveness at the hands of the brethren, all of which was accepted and settled outside of Court. Mr. Campbell paying the cost of Court. GILBERT J. JACKSON, Atty for Conventions. The following visitors were in the city and called on us: Messrs. Sam Toliver, Winston N. O.; Aaron Wood, Orange, N.

A the consequences of a difficulty over a crap game. Sunday afternoon, 9th inst, Henry Johnson, a colored man, is dead, and Carey Craig, a colored youth of 18. is in the county jail charged with murder. Johnson died from the effects of the wound Wednesday, 12th inst, shortly before midnight. Craig was arrested at his home, in this city, last night by Justice Richardson and Constable Waldrode. The boy does not deny the killing. He admits shooting Johnson, for the reason as he says that Johnson had robbed him of the sum of about $8. It was not thought the wound would result fatally at first. The ball struck the shin-bone of the left leg, and glanced off down towards the ankle. Gaugrene, however set in, and death followed. A remarkable fact developed by the post-mortem examination was that most of the ball and bone, while sufficient violent to cause the bone to indent the ball, did not result in the least fracture of the bone.
