THE RICHMOND PLANET PRISONS IN THE PHILIPPINES. Spanish Tortures.=Graphic Description. NOW AMERICAN JAILS. VOL XVII NO 46 PRISONS Spanish NOW A Skill of the Filipi MANILA, P. I., Sept. 18, 1900. To Editor of the PLANET, Dear Sir:— Allow me space in one of your weekly editions of your noble paper to publish the following description of the Spanish prisons, the Philippine and this country. A great deal has been been written and published concerning Manila and the customs of the people over here. t Manila is a prison itself and within she very walls that make it such are lub-prisons and dungeons where the ight of day has never shone and where in many an ullucky and miserable offender against Spanish honor has met death on the rack, death from starvation, death from drawing, death in a thousand different forms but death in invaluable. Even the houses are built more like prisons than dwellings, their stout mahogany doors burdened with enormous iron shackles, and their windows elevated and barred with the same material. The whole city bristles with warlike defenses and barriers as if suspicious of everything and every one. In such a city it is but natural that one would look for prisons galors, and they are here, principal among them is the Presidio de Manila or Philippine Penitentiary, situated on the corner of San Pedro and Calle De Alix, this prison connects with the Carcel de Bilibid and the billibid military prison has been standing in its present position for nearly two hundred years, and wi h its moss covered walls has probably witnessed as much suffering and misery as within ten times its area the wold over. The billibids are now in possession of the United States authorities dated back to 1808, and it is hard for human mind to understand why the very walls of this hell on earth have not trembled with indignation at the torture inflicted. They have guarded and fallen upon the Spanish managers in their own fire pan. PRISONERS DISCHARGED. The Presidio corresponds with our state prison. In it are incarcerated prisoners who have been sentenced to serve two years or more. At present it contains 756 prisoners, this being a far less number than at any date of its history, the different being occasioned by pardons given by Uncle Sam. Several prisoner's terms have expired since the Americans came in charge, and it has not been considered necessary to fill their places as the Spaniards did by tail means or foul. The buildings are called barracks and are numbered. In the different barracks are confined the various classes of criminals. For instance, the first building contains prisoness serving from 2 to 4 years; the second from 4 to 8, and so on. All the prisoners are Fillipins, with the exception of two or three Chinamen, and the five Spanish officers who were formerly in charge of the prison, three of the latter are charged with embezzling the sum of $16233.32 of the prison between the 13th day of August, 1898, and the 1st day of October, 1898, on which latter date the prison was taken possession of by the American forces. The first steps of reform contemplated by the Americans were to free the miserable culprits who had for years carried with them the crude shackles of the Spanish yoke. This was done on the 1st day of October and upward of 80 men took their first unfettered steps for years. One poor old deserpti nates had been thus hampered for twenty years and he had actually forgo ted how to walk. The last of the 10 Spanish officers confined here excepting the Spanish officers before menti ng the Spanish officers in the prison for ten years and a half, so that can having been given the p. privilege of can not without having any official charges pre ferred against him. He has a family in Porto Rico and left for there on the Transport Sandia with a life long gratitude for his American rescuers. The routine which the prisoners have to undergo is military. All calls are from bugle and all movements and inspection executed with military protection. The calls are a. 5:29 a. m., they are given in a caller's cocks, coffee prepared in an enormous caldron by the prisoners' cocks, at 6 a. m. they go to their work and are kept busy un- Army. till 11:30 when they assemble for dinner of soup, rice and sugar. They are then locked up until 2 p. m. when they again resume work until 5:30 p. m. when they are inspected and paraded, standing at parade rest as the strains of the Star Spangled Banner echoes between the walk, and as "Old Glory" glides to its sunset rest. The prisoners have their own band, and a good one too. They are allowed 2 hours each day to practice. INGENUITY OF THE PRISONERS. A visit to the Presidio will surprise one as to the ingenuity displayed in the various workshops in the manufacture of almost everything conceivable. They make trunks, valises and basketets, chairs tastefully caved, silverware of all kinds, statuary of clay and plaster paris, in fact it would be hopeless to enumerate the labors of the prison. They run a first class laundry taking in clothes at the rate of $1 per hundred pieces, and the clothes are not pounded as many an American has ascertained it to be the custom, through his apparel becoming decided y thin and somewhat broken by texture. At present the prison is overwhelmed with work, all available men being put to work on a large order for bamboo cots from the government. They are turning out from seventy-five to eighty of these cots a day, and the cots are delivered to their different destinations by the prisoners themselves under guard, in this way many of the prisoners have seen their first sight of the outside world in years. Carcel de Bilidib contains 520 prisoners, mostly natives, and a fee: Chinamen. The prison is similar to our work house, in plain confinement all prisoners here are serving terms less than two years. At present this prison is not as much Americanized as the Presidio de Manila, and no work is being done, then the prisoners are all sentenced to hard labor however and will be put to work as soon as it becomes practicable to begin this branch of intuition. The sadest and most gruesome prison I have yet visited is the Bilidib military prison I found 182 American soldiers incarcerated for crimes against their oath of service to the U. S. It is here that all soldiers are imprisoned for failure to obey important orders or for insults to officers or the flag. Their routine duties are much the same as in the quarters, but they are closely guarded and d riring the time of their sentence they are not permitted to see or talk to any one; they can write but one letter each month which has to be read by the offiser in charge before mailing; all letters addressed to a prisoner must also be read and if it is from the man's immediate relatives and contains more than ordinary gossip it is returned to the sender. All persons are here admitted in white, called the second class, their clothing the second and in the second class the prisoner"s are labeled with a large letter put on the back of his post and the same letter on the front of the trouser leg and on the back of the other. The color of the letter is changed to white or blue as the conduct of the prisoner places him in the 1st or 3rd class. BRUTAL TORTURE OF CONVICTS. As to the past disgraces, these prisoners have been to Spain, none too much can be written nor can one describe the horror of their tortures. One old prisoner told me that it was the custom of the Spanish soldiers to amuse themselves by torturing the prisoners. They would ask for a number of them when time hung heavy and take them to the court yard where they were tortured in every way that a corrupt Spanish mind could conceive of. Their shinbones are scraped with a bayonet, pins are driven in the fingernails, the nails, their eye balls are scraped with the sand paper, they were suspended by the neck or thumbs, their shoulders were dislocated by opposing sides each pulling the prisoner's arms at the end of a rope in opposite directions until Spain's noble son? are tired of their sport. Executions were performed on Manila's fashionable drive, the Lunetta. On the 20th day of December, 1898 seventy-seven prisoners were shot as a matter of discipline according to the RIHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1900. records but extensively to make room for more wretchful culprits, n.any of whom were conceived of no greater crime; than some trifling offenses against priestly dignity or Spanish hon or. Now that the Philippine Islands are in the hands of Unele Sem it occurs to the average American that we have taken into our fold at least temporarily, one of the races of earth regarding which but little is known, and that little showing that it is a people as ignorant as our nation are advanced in civilization. For while Mania has a population composed of Spanish largely there is a vast extent of surrounding land almost unexplored. The few travelers which compose mostly of the U. S. troops however who have penetrated this island through can give, some most interesting description of the nation and people of distant mountains and plains. I will end at present trusting that it will find a space in your paper for publication, I will write more in my next letter on the same topic. REPORT ON THE GRAND OPENING BAZAAR.

The sheathing consisted of very heavy timbers about thirty feet in length. Two of the men were at work above and three be'ow. Suddenly the embankment caved in and James Ransom who lived at Twenty-sighth and Leigh, was buried under toes of timber and earth. It took twenty minutes to dig him out. He was quite dead when found.

The excitement over the destruction of the carpet and other property at the Third St. A. M. E. Church has in a measure subsided. Nearly $100 more was raised at the Sunday services. New carpet will be purchased, the pulpit furniture upholstered and possibly one of the organs repaired. The lower windows will be provided with heavy outside blinds and all of the entrances to the church strengthened.

No progress seems to have been made towards ascertaining the names of the perpetrators of the outrage WAITED ON THE M:YOR. Rev. W. R. Gullias waited on Mayor Richard M. Taylor and requested that he offer an additional $100 for the arrest and conviction of the guilty partner. His Honor was outspoken in his condemation of the deseration of the property, and said he would comply with the request if the Chief of Police would recommend it. Chief Howard was of the opinion that it was not the best thing to do, especially as it would be a questionable precedent at this time. Rumor of every description has been elated. Rev. W. R. Gullias secured the services of Photographer J. C. Farley, and had the church photographed. It is indeed a scene of destruction. The photographs will be sold for the benefit of the church.

SATURDAY, NOV. 3 9:00 TEMPERANCE A Sweetheart's Admonition Saves a Young Man in the Hour of Sore Temptation. The son of a president of one of our oldest and most prominent eastern colleges was about leaving his native town for Paris to enter upon a special course in surgery. He had just attained his majority, and the simplicity and freshness of his boyhood still lay upon his soul. Many of his comrades had gathered at the depot to wish him bon voyage, among whom was his sweetheart. The last good-bys had been uttered when, obeying an impulse, she sprang to his side upon the platform, and bidding him hold his ear to her lips, whispered: "Charley, dare to be a Daniel!" "Only that old saw," said he, while a look of disappointment shadowed his face. "That only, Charley, but it may mean much to you," was her answer. The bearer of a letter of introduction to a distinguished nobleman and scientist in Paris, the young American was soon received with marked kindness. In a few days he was the recipient of an invitation to a small banquet at the count's residence, at which "DARE TO BE A DANIEL." were present some of the savants of the great city. Unaccustomed to the table etiquette of the cultured Parisians, and "the cynosure of all eyes" when seated at the right hand of his host, Charles was mentally disturbed. He soon noticed that before each plate were grouped four wine glasses, the colors of which were respectively, ruby, purple, pale amber and white. In various decanters were wines of a corresponding hue, of which each guest indicated to the waiter his or her choice by simply touching a glass. The white ones, alone, and those before Charles were left undisturbed. During the progress of the feast the host, filling his ruby tinted glass (an example which his guests followed), proposed a toast, "To the wives, daughters and sweetcarts of America," to which he invited a response from his youthful guest, motioning a servant meanwhile to fill his glass with the red wine. What followed can best be told in the young man's own words: "Mother (he wrote), for a moment I was in an agony of trepidation. I would rather have faced a cannon. All had risen and in the hand of each was the cup of wine which I had been pledged from my childhood not to 'touch, taste nor handle.' My head swam. Suddenly I heard the words: 'Dare to be a Daniel!' They shot through my brain like an electric flash. Instantly my resolution was taken. Touching my white glass, a servant filled it with water. Rising, I said as well as I could for the great lump in my throat: "I beg leave to say that to the typical wife, daughter and sweetheart of America the purity of this, nature's own beverage, illustrates the lives they aim to lead and the dangers which they seek to avoid. Permit me to use it in their dear name." "Following the example of Count B, every white glass was instantly raised and the toast drunk."—Temperance Cause. A New Treatment. Another mode of treating the drink habit is said to be in successful operation in Paris, where three physicians—Drs. Rapier, Thebanet and Broca—announce that they have discovered a new serum. Of 57 cases treated 32 were cured and 15 were improved, only ten failing to show improvement. The serum is obtained from horses that have been dosed with alcohol until their systems are drenched with the poison. When administered to patients the serum revives natural repugnance to alcohol, which continued use has broken down. Conceded. "Mandy," said her elderly relative, "that young Spoonamore hasn't a cent to his name. You would be simply crazy to marry him!" "I am, auntie," replied Miss 'Mandy. —Chicago Tribune. Tess—Yes, when she discovers that it hadn't broke his. —Philadelphia Press. POLITICAL REVIEW OF THE WEEK POLITICAL REVIEW OF THE WEEK A good point was made in New York the other day against Mr. Bryan by Mr. P. H. Curlin, a Democrat who will vote this year for McKinley. He said: "I hardly think the party needs a leader who takes all his law and gospel from the speeches of Mr. Lincoln, however able they may have been. He is not the kind of a Democrat whose leadership inspires me with respect for its originality or greatness." Republican patriots and statesmen have long been the models after whom Democrats have patterned. Originality of ideas or utterance upon great questions of pith and moment has not characterized Democrat leadership in this country. It does not originate it mitutes. It does not lead; it follows. Lincoln's massive brain has furnished Mr. Bryan with all the original ideas he has emitted during the past four years. He knows Lincoln by heart. He lives in Lincoln and on Lincoln. Philip jackson, a colored Democrat of Charles town, W. Va., presented Mr. Bryan with the following and asked him to sign it: "I do not commence the Jim Crow car law or any other measure that discriminates against any American citizen on account of color." The Dallas Express, from which this is taken, says Mr. Bryan refused, saying he did not want any new issues injected into the campaign. If Mr. Bryan doesn't want new issues injected into the campaign, why does he set the example? He has sprung a new issue—"imperialism"—and has sedulously labored with his mouth to make it overshadow the real issue—free silver—which he insisted should be incorporated in the platform adopted by the Kansas City convention or he would not accept the nomination. His words are in print showing that before the convention had adopted the platform he had made a fetish of the silver question; now he is using it as a floor mop and exploiting "imperialism" as a paramount issue. The knight of the sorrowful figures, 16 to 1, is an opportunist whose fine freazy is only equaled by that of his great exemplar. Senor Don Quixote, who had his feelings hurt fighting windmills and other dangrous enemies of his country. The versatility of Mr. Bryan is shown by the facility and celerity with which he has been able to shift the issue which is the only issue in this campaign and hug in supplementary questions which are not yet in a formative state. The fact that Mr. Bryan once trod the boards as an actor may account for the ease with which he plays so many parts in the political drama in which he is a star performer. Charles W. Anderson, the new committeeman at large on the Republican state committee of New York, has been looking over the field since his election, and on a recent trip up the state in company with Senator Dolliver he found that the colored Republicans of the state of New York were very much alive and very much in earnest in their efforts to contribute to the election of Odell and Woodruff. There are a number of Republican clubs in most of the large cities, and colored Republican voters are thoroughly organized all over the state. Mr. Anderson, who is a vigorous and forceful speaker, made a number of speeches on this trip through the state and will be heard often during the campaign. He is one of the most eloquent and effective young orators in the state of New York. Trying to Catch the Colored Vote. It is now stated that Mr. Bryan will soon come out in opposition to the policy of disfranchisement at the south and pose as the special friend of the colored man. In this way the Democrats, it is said, will try to catch a large part of the colored vote. If there is anything more ridiculous and presumptuous in American politics than this, what is it? The Democratic party and the colored race are absolutely incompatible. A colored Democrat is a contradiction in terms. To be sure, there are some colored Democrats, but the idea of the Democrats whining any considerable portion of the colored vote is positively impudent in its absurdity. The colored voters can see through the trick easily enough. The West Virginia colored men have already shown that they understand the situation. They have issued an appeal to their brothers, and have sent it far and wide, to stand together in this crisis of their destiny and rally to the support of the only party which is friendly to them. The appeal characterizes the new disfranchisement policy as being practically the beginning of a new slavery for their race. The First Georgia District. The Republicans of the First Georgia district have nominated by acclamation William R. Leaken for representative in congress. Resolutions were introduced by Colonel J. H. Devenux and adopted unanimously approving the administration of President McKinley, protesting against the disranchisement of colored citizens, favoring the protective tariff system and emphatically denouncing Bishop Turner of Georgia for deserting the Republican party and going over to Bryan. Did Not Blame Him "I come from the far west," said one congressman, "and I am proud to proclaim myself a resident of the land of the setting sun." "Yes," answered the colleague from nearby, "I don't blame you for being a little hoardful. I can't help enjoying you every time I think of the mileage."—Washington Star. The Connecting Links. "Dinsmore contends that the lynx is really the missing link," said Fosdick to Keedick. "Is this a play on words?" "No, it isn't." Fosdick contends that the lynx connects golfers with human beings."—Town Topics. **The Step from the Sublime.** But yesterday he felt that he was born to be a king; His first birthday was proud, He held his head above the crowd— Last night his wife went snoooping 'round And in his inmost pocket found A letter he has come to be Aaving that thing— -Chicago Times-Hewitt.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put on the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

JOBSON," said Mr. Jobson to Mrs. Jobson on the hotel porch down at the seaside on the evening before they returned to Washington, two weeks ago. "I wish you would be good enough to let me have your views on the subject of colored servants, based upon the tumultuous experiences you have had with the several scores of them that have been in our employ during married life in Washington." Alarm, of course, was instantly depicted in Mrs. Jobson's countenance. "Why," said she, "you know that we have never had any trouble with Josephine during the two years that she has been with us, and I am sure no one could ask for a better girl than she—" "Couldn't they?" cut in Mr. Jobson, as he began to file his nails and to look ominously amiable. "And the sugar trust couldn't ask for any better consumer than that same Josephine, could it? And the tea and potatoes and coffee and dressed-mett combinations haven't had a pretty swell snap of it through the patronage of the Jobson family, due to the operations of that same Josephine, since she's been with us, have they? And I haven't been feeding more than 219 residents of Bloodfields and other sections of the capital city given over to the occupation of—" "Josephine is a good, honest girl." interrupted Mrs. Jobson, stanchly, "and if I have occasionally given her a few little left-over—" "This is all completely beside the mark," said Mr. Jobson, grandioquently. "The real point is that I am going to experiment with a white servant, and the white servant is going to be no less a person than the amiable, if homely, middle-aged. Hibernian woman Nora, who is the chief hustler around this hotel. "I asked Nora this morning if she could cook and she told me that she could. I did not suggest the idea that I intended to offer her employment with us in Washington, but I shall expect you to put the proposition before her during the evening. If she accepts, as I have no doubt she will, she will go back with us in the morning. It may be that we shall have to give her wages a trifle higher than we pay to Josephine, but she has all the earmarks of a high-grade woman-of-all-work, and I'm going to see if I can't get hold of a servant who will occasionally pay a little attention to me when I make humble requests around the house, instead of treating me as if I were a horsehair sofa of the period of 1854 stored in the attic, as your beloved Josephine does." Mrs. Jobson looked the picture of consternation during this speech. "Pure imagination," broke in Mr. Jobson, in his judicial tone. "Nora is a jewel of tidiness." "But, worse of all," pursued Mrs. Jobson, looking more and more alarmed. "I am sure she drinks. She happen to come near me the other morning making up the room and her breath smelt so strongly of liquor that—" "Mrs. Jobson," cut in Mr. Jobson. "I fully understand that it is one of the privileges of your sex, of whatever station, to endeavor to undermine each other. This same Nora has commended herself to me, a close observer, during my stay at this hotel as a modest, respectable, middle-aged Irish serving woman, and it is my desire to engage such a servant in place of the no-account Senegambian at present in our employ. You will be good enough to make terms with Nora this evening, and if she is willing to accompany us to Washington, --- you will find at the end of two weeks that she will prove herself absolutely indispensable to you." Mrs. Jobson sighs. But what Mr. Jobson said "went, and half an hour later Mrs. Jobson found herself being interrogated by the angular, somewhat red-nosed Nora as to the end of plant the Jobson household in Washington was; how much washing there was to be done; the arrangements as to the servant's day off; the hours at which the meals were expected to be ready; the rules and regulations with respect to the servant's reception of company, and so on. Mrs. Jobson stood the ordeal of interrogation with her customary fortitude, and when Nora demanded monthly wages about one-half in excess of the usual Washington scale for maids-of-all-work. Mrs. Jobson acceded to the terms. Twenty-four hours later Nora was in command of the Jobson household. Upon her arrival she had rather elevated her already somewhat retrousse nose at the size of the Jobson establishment, but with a few remarks of deprecain, addressed to neither of the Jobsons in particular, she went to work to see what could be made of the outfit. The first meal she prepared was breakfast, and she fried the steak instead of broiling it—a fact which Mr. Jobson's teeth instantly made him aware of, although he waved it aside lightly. "She'll be all right as a cook when she gets her hand in a bit," said he, pasticating the leathery steak. Mrs. Jobson said nothing. Dinner was about half an hour late when Mr. Jobson got home from the office that evening, and the dough of the chicken potpie prepared by the jewel Nora was of about the consistency of a bowling ball. A couple of days later Mr. Jobson happened to overhear Nora give Mrs. Jobson a somewhat sharp reply when the mistress of the household instructed her with reference to the proper way to beat the rugs, and he told Mrs. Jobson that, in his opinion, the servant perhaps had an unsubdued nature that might require handling, and that he trusted Mrs. Jobson would employ mild methods with her, instead of austerity of manner. On Tuesday evening last the Job- NORA'S HAIR WAS DOWN AND HER EYES WERE GLAZED. sons took a ride down the river after dinner. They got back about in the neighborhood of ten o'clock. The light in the basement dining-room attracted them, and they entered the house that way. Nora, under the flaring light of the three gas jets, was seated at the dining-room table. In front of her was a half-filled black pint bottle, with the label of the Jobson's grocery on it; squeezed lemons, a pitcher of ice water, a half-consumed can of sardines and a loaf of Vienna bread, from which most of the crust had been torn. Nora's hair was down, and her eyes were glazed. Nora's terms of reproach were not visited upon the head of Mrs. Jobson. She seemed to be quite convinced of the fact that Mrs. Jobson was a perfect little lady, and a whole lot too good for Mr. Jobson, with reference to whom Nora exhausted the whole vocabulary of vituperation and scorn. She adverted critically to Mr. Jobson from every possible point of view—physical, mental, financial; and when she finally seized a rolling-pin and defied Mr. Jobson and the whole universe combined to lay a finger on her, Mr. Jobson felt that he'd got it coming and going, both ends from the middle. Mrs. Jobson got Nora on the New York train, whither she was sending her to her relatives, with a month's wages and a ticket, on the following morning. When Mrs. Jobson returned to the Jobson household after performing this duty she found Mr. Jobson standing very solemnly in the front room. "Well, you have disposed of your protege, I presume?" Mr. Jobson said to Mrs. Jobson. "You have at length got rid of that awful inebus that I permitted you to fasten upon my home, in conformity with my customary indulgence of you in all of your fads and caprices?" Josephine is now the Jobsons' maid-of-all-work again, and every time she serves a particularly good meal Mr. Jobson says something to Mrs. Jobson about the difference between the estables and those prepared by Mrs. Jobson's "seashore protege."—Washington Star.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND VIRGINIA. TO COLORED VOTERS! The Re gn of Lawlessness Consider Well This Able Appeal and Argument. Extracts From an Address on "The Negro's Place In American Politics," by Bishop W. B. Derrick. The institutions under which we live were founded in righteousness. It was by no mere caprice or accident that the author of the Declaration of American Independence wrote "that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unallenable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It is not by accident that the black man is found upon this hemisphere, dwelling among this great people. These things had their origin in the eternal council of God. In proportion as this germ thought is understood and appreciated to that extent will a solution be found to what men are pleased to call the "negro question in the United States." If there is to be a negro question because the black man elects, now that he is free, to reside in the land defended by his valor, developed by his brawn and nurtured with his tears, then, like Fancou's ghost, the negro and his question will not down. It is therefore for the people as a whole to say by their vote on the 6th of November next if the negro is to become the disintegrating element in the body politic or if the murderous methods of men like Senator Ben Tillman are to be condemned by the election of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. FROM TILLMAN'S SPEECH. FROM KANSAS CITY PLATFORM. We took the government away. We stuffed the balloon all government shot them. We are not tugged among men derive ashamed of it. With their powers from the that system—force, tissue, consent of the govern-ue ballots, etc.—we got ed; that any govern-ue ourselves. So we ment not based upon called convention, and we erned is a tyranny and eliminated, as I have that to impose upon any said, all of the colored people a government of people whom we could force is to substitute the fourteenth the methods of impa-ter, fifteenth amend-ment for those of a-ments. republic. We declare again that all governments instituted among men derive their powers from the consent of the government not based upon the consent of the governed is a tyranny and people a government of force is to substitute the methods of impaction for those of a republic. In our determination to uphold the party of Abraham Lincoln and to support the Republican platform we are inspired by no craven fear for the future of the negro, who as long as the republic lasts will find a place in it; but we are solicitous for the good name of the nation and the peace and prosperity of the whole people, which would be put in jeopardy by the surrender of Republican institutions to the forces of anarchy, repudiation and nullification as represented by Colonel William Jennings Bryan. We realize the reincarnation of the spirit which preceded secession, with all of its benevolent consequences. Had the civil war been accepted in good faith by the south and had not the people of that section been encouraged by the Democratic party of the north to expect assistance in the reversal of the settlement, there would now be no negro question. It is futile, however, to evade the fact that nothing less is demanded by the Democratic south than the reduction of the negro in that locality to a state of peonage, without voice in its government, protection in its courts or security for life or property. It is equally certain that federal legislation, having as its object the utter degradation of the race, is the price which the Democratic party of the north is pledged to guarantee to the south in exchange for power. This insolete conspiracy is unrelieved by a single redeeming feature: this coward's blow is aimed at the people whom the south is dependent for the development of its soil and the conduct of its industrial system. Nor is it pretended by the party of Fryan, Ben Tillman and Burke Cockran that the negro is to be superseded by a more efficient laborer. Their plan is that he should tell in freedom as he did in bondage, with little pay and without master to defend him from the abuse of the irresponsible and worthless whose lot under the old dispensation was worse than that of the slave. It is to deliver the southern black man from this living death as well as to protect the northern negro from the debasing influences of the Democratic machine that we desire Republican success. We have no disposition to detach the colored citizen from the whole Republican platform and to create new issues for his benefit, but the negro's paramount issue is now, and must forever remain until settled, his full citizenship as guaranteed by the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution. If these amendments that were written into the constitution with the best blood of the people are to be set at rattle throughout an important and wide area of the country, inhabited by millions of negroes, then it were of little consequence to the race whether the finances of the country were on a stable foundation or otherwise, whether Republican protection had filled the coffers of the nation or Democratic free trade had depleted them, whether the country had extended its borders or had abdicated its international functions. In either condition and under all the circumstances the negro would be a serf and not a free man, a pariah and not a political equal of other men, a hewer of wood and drawer of water for such of the outcasts of Europe as possessed virility and means enough to reach these shores. You may rest assured that the Republican party, which placed the rife in the black man's hand and the uniform of the United States upon his person, will see to it that he retains the ballot as the seal of his power and evidence of his full and complete citizenship. We turn with contempt and loathing alike from those who would invigle us with pesquisites of office to enter the ranks of our Democratic enemies and the poltroons who would solve our difficulties by deportation and expatriation. Gullied by the principles of a great Republican party and protected by the constitution of our common country, we will continue to seek peace and prosperity under the ample folds of the stars and stripes.

ANOTHER white bank teller in New York, stole six thousand dollars. Gov. TYLER of Virginia pardoned a colored brother who stole a 35 cent chicken and was serving a five year sentence for the offense. WHILE our enemies are increasing, our friends are active, both North and South. The Medford, Womens Club of Medford, Mass. has voted to witdraw from the General Federation of Women's Clubs because the Executive Board of that organization at its convention in Milwaukee in June refused to seat Mrs JOSEPHINE ST. P. RUFFIN, a colored lady of Boston who represented a club of colored ladies, and had complied with all of the requirements of the organization. This is encouraging news. Let us not be disheartened, but press onward, doing the best we can, and meriting the good-will and esteem of our white friends. "A BLACK HERO." THE Washington Post is recognizing merit and according praise to those who deserve it. Under the caption of "A Black Hero," in its issue of the 1st inst., it says: "By way of illustrating Col. Theodore Roosevelt's unjust and cruel displacement of the Negro as a fighting man, we have today before us the account of the attempt to murder and rob Paymaster Hosler, of the Southwest Connellsville Coke Company." This unfortunate man undertook, on Tuesday night, to drive, from Mount Pleasant, Fa., to Alverton, only a few miles distant, carrying with bim the money to pay off the miners of the Alverton and Tarr works. On the way he was attacked by four ruffians—miners themselves and workmen in good standing, of course—and was killed at the first fire of the highwaymen. His Negro driver, Harry Burgess caught the dead man in his arms and began to shoot at the assailants. He killed one of them outright, drove the others away, and finally saved the company's money. Wounded himself and the attackers, killing others and faithful Negroes, the fliculties by which he was sorrowed, and in his obscure and quiet way played more genuine heroism that which is now vaunted in adduced by Roosevelt, who stands as the accuser of his race. He was killed in an humble state of life. N.B.year him. Nebody stood by to drown him with felicitations and bourges. If he had lost his life in that five endearment to discharge a duty, no one would have heard of him, or mourned him or offered him a celebration and yet neither R. Rosalie nor Hobson ever did a finer thing. He exhibited a courage and fidelity at least equal to any they displayed and he did it simply, instinctively, and without the smallest calculation is to horos and reward. Northern people, quite innumerable, no doubt, fall short of understanding the Negro's splendid possibilities of valor and devotion. Confused by the insolence and the pushing and offensive methods of a certain class—especially congenious at the North—prejudiced by an innate and personal aversion, the Northern-ras exile the Negro from their sympathies. But here, and hence, southward to the Gulf of Mexico, the former slave holding classes and their descendants realize the good that is in the Negro—his fidelity, his constancy, and his fearless and self-sacrifice devotion—and in their hearts, if not always in their speech, they celebrate and love him. What this loyal fellow, Burgess, did for his employer, Hosler, one of a million southern Negroes would have done under similar conditions. Where in history shall we find a finer specimen of heroism? Oh yes, we will stand for all that we do wrong, if you will accord us credit for all that we do right. The Poor's declaration is a source of encouragement to every Negro in the United States. Colored men, let the instances be multiplied 'to all of us are benefited thereby. MURDERED A WOMAN ANOTHER wonder has appeared in Virginia, another miracle has taken place upon the soil of the old commonwealth. Twelve white men have refused to disregard their oaths of office and have administered law as they found it. We refer to the case of WILLIAM O'Boyle (white) who flnishly murdered ALMA HAMILTON (a mulatto) He was tried in the Corporation Court of Newport News. Va., Wednesday, Oct. 31, 1900 and found guilty of murder in the first degree. Judge BARHAM sentenced the murderer. This is his second conviction. The crime was peculiarly atrocious and unprovoked and seems to have afforded no excuse nor palliating circum stances in concession therewith. THE REPARATE OARS AND THE NEGRO. THE Washington Post says some "good things" sometimes concerning the citizen of color and often exercises a spirit of charity and good will which is gratifying if not refreshing to many of us who remember its former unkind utterances of other days. No one, we think but an ex slave owner or the son of one of the South,ern autocrats could or would have published the article which appeared in the Post's editorial columns of Monday,Oct. 29th, 1900. It said: We find in a late issue of the New Orleans Times-Democrat some timely and, as we think, sensible remarks apropos of the efforts to separate the blacks from the whites in the street cars. "The Council last night, by a decisive vote of 12 to 4, defeated the separate car orninance, providing for the separation of Negroes and whites in the street cars. Other Southern cities operated star cars at one time; all have abandoned the system, but three cities have returned to separate street cars in the last few months, and they have operated the system with a most unsatisfactory result to the public and the car companies. The new system has had the effect to give the Negroes from the cars, thus cutting down the revenues of the company and therefore entailing a less frequent and less satisfactory service for the public. "There is, further the extreme difficulty of enforcing the law, and it was never enforced in the star car days when white men, in a hurry, paid no attention to it, but insisted on mounting the first car that came along whether it had or had not a star on it." The so-called 'star car' was in operation in New Orleans as far back as 1886, but, as our esteemed contemporary says it satisfied no one, and soon fell into disuse. From the very beginning the whites disregarded the ordinance. They took the 'star' cars whenever it suited their convenience, thus showing—what is a notorious fact, that the Southern whites are not at all afraid of contact with their colored fellow creatures. The system was first censured by the whites of the former slave owning class, who had been used to Negroes all their lives, and did not object to them or shrink from them, and who realized, besides, that it operated a wanton and cruel humiliation of was then a very numerous and highly appeased element of the population—knew it was 'eterno colonny.' This was largely persons of independent means of distinct culture and refinement, and of very considerable influence. Among them were merchants, professional men, capitalists, brokers, sugar planters, notaries, musicians, and artists. The idea of excluding these people from public carriers to which the white hoodlums, and riff raff of the city were freely admitted was too absurd for toleration. Public sentiment mae short work of the 'star car' then. Public sentiment, after more than thirty years of experience, has frowned down the effort to revive it now. Will the City Council of Richmond and Brother R. L. PETERS, who offered the "Jim Crow" ordinance read and ponder these utterances? The Post continues: The old "actoroon solony" has been decimated since then. Finding in New Orleans less than a perfect opportunity to handle them have gone to Europe to realise their moralities, or at least to find their moralities, and intellectual level under perfectly unrestricted editions. Some of them, we are glad to know, have reached eminence in literature and art. Uadoubtedly, all of them have found a wider arena and a more encouraging entourage. But the spirit which crushed the "star car" nonsense thirty years ago survives to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND VIRGINIA. day and can not be overcome, save in the rarest instances. This is plain talking. This journal continues: "Here in Washington one can sympathize to some extent with the movement in the direction of separate cars. We have nearly 80 000 colored people in this city, and a considerable number are without visible means of support. The many idle Negroes crowd the parks, occupying all the benches; they fill the cars, and, all too frequently, behave like ruffians of the most offensive type." And so do the intelligent, industrious, honest colored people feel ashamed of this hoodlum element. We feel keenly the opprobrium which their conduct attaches to the race whether justly or unjustly. We would do all in our power to remedy the annoyance, but the Post should not forget that there are white hoodlums as well as colored ones. There are white idlers as well as colored ones. They fill the cars, usually the freight cars and the parks and behave like ruffians of the most offensive type. Any crusade against this element not based on race or color will receive the most cordial support of the best classes of our people. If you will make the discrimination general, you will hear no complaint from this quarter. The Post pays a compliment when it remarks: "But for the great majority of decent, self-respecting, and altogether respectable colored people here, we should feel disposed to advocate the 'star car' for Washington." We suppose you would. It is on account of this very 'But' that the 'decent, self-respecting, and altogether respectable colored people there and elsewhere are protesting against the Jim Crow Car laws of the southern states. It concludes as follows: "Things have not yet reached that point, however, and we still hope that the street car problem will lose much of its perplexity and irritation. But our colored friends will be wise to bear in mind the fact that they cannot afford to identify themselves as a whole with disorder and make common cause with every Negro ruffian and criminal because he happens to be a Negro." We agree with you and would give you a "Roland for your Oliver," by remarking that you cannot afford to make common causes with every white ruffian and prostitute as against the Negro, simply because they happen to be identified with the white race. Such conservative editorials as the one we have just cited will do much good. It shows to both sides its weaknesses, and points out to each its mistakes. Let the good work go on and let us have no separate cars, based upon race or color, but in this country of free thought, and free speech, let all stand upon a common level, measured by their capacity for good and condemned for their exercise of the evil. Then indeed will peace reign and the race agitators will seek other employment than that from which they have so long existed. The ex-slaves and the ex slave owners are friends. Let the "new issue" white and colored folks take notice MR BRYAN EVADES THE QUESTION It is evident that the North Carolina feature of imperialism has caused Mr. Bryan no end of trouble. The managers of the Republican Party in reply to Mr. Bryan's charge that colored men have received only janitorships in recognition of their support to the organization have cited facts and figures, showing the class and grade of positions held by the citizens of color and stating that eight million dollars are paid annually to the Negro employees of Uncle Sam. But it was to the reply made by Mr. Bryan under date of October 29th to one of the questions addressed to him by Mr. FRANCIS J. HALL, president of the University Republican Club of Princeton, N. J., to which we desired to call attention. It was as follows: "Do you approve of the disfranchisement of the Negroes in North Carolina by the Democrats of that State?" Mr. Bryan stated that this question was not an issue in the campaign, and said: "You should hold the President responsible for what he has done in Forto Riso, and not me responsible for what has been done in North Carolina." He adds that there is but little, if any, difference between the race question law in North Carolina and that in Forto Riso." In reply to this question, Mr. Bryan descends from the platform of a statesman to the level of a demagogue. He must know that the question of equal rights before the law and the consent of the governed is an issue in this campaign, and Mr. Bryan's Party made it so. If imperialism is obnoxious in the Philippines, it should be repugnant in North Carolina. Principles apply to all alike and are not rightfully subject to petty racial discriminations. If the Republican Party and Mr. McKINLY are wrong in the Philippines and Porto Rico, then the Democratis Party and Mr. BRYAN are wrong in North Carolina and its sister southern states. Mr. BRYAN would have done himself no injury in the minds of right-thinking people to have said as much. It would be well to remember that Mr. BRYAN has not said whether or not he approves the course of his party associates in North Carolina. Send in your subscription to the Planet.

Workers in Bergenton District Will Also Ask Permission to Maintain Check Weigh-Lawn to Protect Them From Unfair Treatment by Bosses. Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 31.—The men employed at the collieries of the Le- high and Wilkesbarre Coal company met yesterday afternoon and adopted a resolution requesting the company to abolish the sliding scale and guarantee to pay the 10 per cent increase until April 1.

WATER FAMINE DELAYS WORK. It Prevents Resumption in Some Schuylkill Valley Mines Reading, Pa., Oct. 30—Reports from the Schuylkill kill region show that there was a general resumption of work at nearly all of the Reading company's mines. A few of the operations were not started because of the scarcity of water and the presence of gas in the mines. The drought throughout the region is very great, and unless rain comes soon many of the collieries will be obliged to reduce working hours. There was general activity everywhere yesterday. The locomotives employed on the Frackville grade and others in the coal carrying trade were got in readiness and long before daylight they were placing cars at the various cars the company has plenty of cars, and by bringing the coal wagon on its way to market. The Reading company has about 1,000 cars of hard coal on its various slidings at Cressona, St. Clair, Tamaqua and other points along the main line. This coal is now being sent forward.

Catastrophe Occurred in the Crowded Business District. THIRTY-TWO PEOPLE MISSING. A Dozen Big Buildings Demolished and a Score of Others Badly Damaged—The Disaster Rivals the Windsor Hotel Fire and Exceeds It in Property Loss, Which Is Estimated at a Million and a Half-Elevated Station Wrecked and Track Torn Up—One Body and Portions of Another Recovered From the Ruins. New York, Oct. 31.—As a result of a small fire several successive explosions of chemicals occurred in the drug store of Tarrant & Co., at Warren and Greenwich streets, Monday and blew down a dozen buildings and badly damaged a score of others. The loss of life is not known, but from all sources of information it is gathered that there are perhaps the bodies of 32 persons in the ruins, that being the number of persons officially reported missing. It is believed by many, however, that the death list will be much higher. The Tarrant building was a seven story structure, and the other buildings destroyed were five to seven stories high. The disaster was one of the most terrible that has ever occurred in this city, and rivals the Windsor hotel fire in its appalling results, though in loss of property it will be worse. Chief Croker, of the fire department, said today that the loss is fully $1,500,000. The action of the tremendous catastrophe was more vivid and awful than the city had seen for a long time. Buildings fell in on themselves or toppled over on others, iron girders were thrown yards away, smashing through great walls, whole structures fell into the streets in piles so that the line of thoroughfare could not be marked out, huge splinters of iron, steel and wood were flung into the streets and into the buildings, clean through the walls, where they buried women and men. People walking through the streets were knocked down and dangerously injured by timbers, glass and steel, horses were thrown down, wagons, windows, store fronts and all sorts of property for blocks in every direction were wrecked and damaged. One fire company had just arrived when a terrific explosion occurred and threw the entire engine's crew down the stairway. The firemen, realizing the danger of their position, rushed out of the building to the street. The explosion had filled the street in front with a shower of falling glass and small debris, which sent the crowd which was already gathered on the opposite sidewalks fleeing for safety and caused the horses hitched to the engines to get to get away. Engineer Rocksbury was unfastening the horses, and Fireman Brown, of the company, was turning the safety valve of the engine when the explosion occurred and covered them with a shower of glass. Both were injured, as was another fireman belonging to the company. Capt. Devannean, of the company, ordered his crew back into the building again. They were dragging the line to the doorway for the second time when another explosion, more terrific than the first, came, and the whole crew was hurled across Greenwich street. Devannean being so badly injured that he was sent to a hospital. In the meantime the other engines that had responded to the alarm had collected, and the firemen were busy rescuing people from surrounding buildings. Firemen had already taken many girls down the only fire escape upon the building, and more persons had been carried down the escapes of the Home Made restaurant, next door, and the buildings adjoining upon Warren street. The second explosion occurred about five minutes after the first. From the accounts of witnesses the building seemed to leap into the air, and in a moment masses of brick wall, timbers and stone were falling into the streets. The force of the explosion tore away the walls of the big commission storehouses.fronting on Washington street and caused them to collapse, falling at once in a mass of timbers, boxes and barrels, from which the flames, which burst out from the Tarrant building like the belching of a cannon, a fence broke forth. Across Warren street to the opposite building the flames leaped, setting them all there at once, the force of the explosion, stifling windows and all wooden structures about the houses. In a moment Warren street was choked up with a mass of debris and the whole place was afire. The great explosion was followed by half a dozen more scarcely less intense, and by a countless number of smaller ones. The second explosion carried destruction in every direction. That it did not cause a wholesale loss of life was due to the fact that almost ten minutes' warning came after the first cry of fire—a cry that was real warning to people who knew the character of the chemicals in the burning building—and fully five minutes occurred between the first and second explosion, which warned every one within hearing. Just as the fire broke out a train stopped at Warren street station of the Ninth Avenue Elevated road. It passed on in time to escape the explosion, and the few people who were left on the platform of the station are thought to have all escaped before the great explosion came. The station master fled across the structure, carrying with him the receipts of the day and his unused tickets, while two women, who had stepped on the platform to watch the fire, frightened by the first explosion, fled down the downtown tracks, assisted by the station porter, who took them to the Barclay street station in safety. The big explosion completely carried away the station, and the mass of masonry that fell with it through the flooring and almost demolished the structure just below the building. Immense masses of masonry, pieces of cornish great beams, window casings and an in-describable mass of wreckage of every description tumbled suddenly into the street in front of the building all at once. The force of the explosion below had thrown the firemen back across the street so that they were not caught, but their escape from the rain of debris was almost miraculous. The wreckage was thrown across the windows of the buildings in which the Irving National bank located, on the northeast corner of the street. The offices of the Irving bank and of Mecklem Brothers, bankers and brokers, were nearly wrecked. At the first explosion an attempt was made to gather all the money and paper that was lying on the counters together and to throw them into the safes, and it was supposed that this had been done, when the second explosion brought flying glass and plastering from the skylighted ceilings down about the heads of everybody and caused them to escape in a hurry. Capt. McCluskey, of the detective bureau, hurried the very available man of his staff to the firehouse appealed to to protect the funds of the bank, he being told that they were in the vault, the door of which was supposed to be unlocked. When the captain and his men went, however, they found about $10,000 scattered in confusion over the counters and floor. This was hastily thrown into the vault and the door locked. The explosion completely demolished windows along Greenwich street on both sides for three blocks in both directions. The street was covered with fine bits of glass. The force of the explosion was exerted horizontally across the street, skylights being carried away as if by a storm, and the casings of doors broken and not spared. The explosion did not spare the interiors of stores, everything being heaped up in confusion. Yesterday Superintendent Dooner had a very large force of men working as hard as possible, tearing down piles of debris and removing it. The fire burned all day, and toward night was practically to the end of the mass of debris at Washington and Warren streets. The fire extends back for some distance, and is burning fiercely. There were no new workmen at work last night. The reason assigned for having no new men is that the ruins are so hot that but few can get at them yet, and the men have to work at outside walls and debris in the streets. The efforts of the searchers for the debris were rewarded last evening by the finding Schmidt, of 550 Clinton street, Brooklyn, and the discovery of what looked to be the bodies of three other people. Schmidt was an engraver, and had an office on the third floor of 101 Warren street. The body could be seen pinched down under a mass of twisted iron, but could not be gotten at last night. It was removed today. At the northwest corner of the Tarrant building, at Warren and Greenwich streets, a mass of clothing and indiscriminate articles was come across, and the mass was said to be the bodies of three people. The firemen went to work with a will to dig out the mass, and at 10 o'clock last night brought to light a portion of a woman's foot and the top of a crushed in skull. The skull had long brown hair attached, and is supposedly that of a woman. At 10:20 o'clock a portion of a human trunk, probably the abdomen, was dug out and a little later a brown canvas coat. There was nothing in the pockets but four quill toothpicks. Still later the firemen found another portion of a skull and a portion of a human back. Dr. Comer, of the health department, who examined the remains, said they were probably all from the same person, as were the foot and portion of a skull found earlier. The remains were all found in the Tarrant building. There was great indignation among the business men of the vicinity when they learned the part the explosion had played in the general catastrophe. An explosion of this drug house had not been unexpected, as it was generally believed in the neighborhood that there were explosive chemicals in the place. GENERAL SOUTHERN NEWS.

MINERSAS HIGHWAYMEN Four Kill a Pay Clerk on a Lonely Road Near Pittsburg. TWO ROBBERS KILLED, ONE DYING Clerk Hosler, With a Companion, Was Carrying Four Thousand Dollars to Alverton to Pay Off the Coke Workers--Fired Upon From Ambush. Pittsburg, Oct. 31.—Four Italian miers attempted to rob Pay Clerk William Hosler, of the Southwest Connellsville Coke company, while making his trip between this city and Alverton with the pay roll of the Alverton and Tarr works, amounting to $4,000. Mr. Hosler is dead, his companion, Harry Burgess, messenger of the company, is wounded, two of the Italians are dead, a third fatally wounded and the fourth in fail. The money was in a safe in the wagon. As they reached the summit of the long hill above Morewood, just below which lies Alverton, a large coke town, without a second's warning the four Italiani fired a volley from their hiding place and sprang forward, firing as they advanced. Mr. Hosler fell dead at the first volley. Young Burgess, though wounded, was able to return their fire with effect, and one of the number at the horses' heads fell dead. A second later he fired his revolver in the very face of another, and as he fell his two remaining companions became terrified, and leaving the dead one set out with the wounded one over the hill to the south, in the direction of the Alice mines. Burgess managed to drive on into Alverton with the body of Mr. Hosler and the safe, where he gave the alarm. Mount Pleasant and vicinity, with the clerical force of the coke company, turned out 500 strong, headed by Lieutenant John G. Thompson, of Company E, and soon corralled the two, who had concealed themselves in a field on the Durstine farm, a mile or so from this town. A summons to surrender was answered by a volley, in which one of the posse received a slight wound on the chest. The outlaws, from their fortified position, made a fierce stand for a few minutes, until one of the posse succeeded in getting in their rear. He shot one through the head, killing him instantly. The other surrendered and was brought to the office of 'Squire Rhodes and remanded to fail. In the meantime another division of the posse overhauled the third wouldbe robber, who had received a ghastly wound. The ball, entering his mouth and penetrating his head, came out at the back of the neck. He is not expected to recover. Army Statistics.

Hustle out an' git to chorin', working up a appetite That'd throw a streak o' glory into every luscious bite! Then sit down fornest a banket out o' sight an' no mistake— Buckwheat cakes an' sassage gravy—sort our mother used to make! Used to of'n stand an' watch her beat the batter in the crock.

Denver Post (Written for this paper.) M'SWATT'S college days were a revelation; not only to the fac- ulty, but to himself also. He had never suspected the versatility of his nature or the vastness of his resource He was summoned one day to appear before the board, under complaint of having caricatured his Latin professor on the class room walls, thereby making that worthy to appear, his face wreathed in smiles, dancing the "couchy couchy" and crying: "To Hades with Caesar, et tu, Brute" and numerous other incongruous and indelicate things. McSwatt arose to the occasion, aye, passed far beyond it and made college history; so completely was he master of the situation that Jones, head professor of Evidences of Christianity, inwardly resolved to espouse his canonization, should McSwatt's soul soon take its flight. It was not so easy, however, to pull the wool over the eyes of his classmates. "Indignation" Smythe, who was a member of a fraternity constitutionally opposed to the one whose rolls McSwatt's name honored, and more or less dyspeptic, voiced the sentiment of the student body when he stated, with his usual variations, that McSwatt was a cheerful liar and an imitable dead beat. The remark cost Smythe a nasal hemorrhage; McSwatt, the remainder of his reputation for the allegations were never successfully controverted. To drown his sorrow, McSwatt ingratiated himself with the bibulous crowd, and he lived to see the sorrow completely inundated. He was oftener found at the inn than at the college, and he consequently became more proficient in poker than in Greek. The quarterly report, sent home, elicited much wonder, no enthusiasm. There had been a series of extraordinary drains on the family purse for such odd purposes that the old gentleman was apprehensive lest the boy be demented. The cost of books alone, a mere drop in the bucket of general expenditures, was sufficient to have started a town library, and that of dentistry mortgaged the farm. Hence the elder McSwatt visited college, but the magnificent library had taken to itself wings, and there remained no evidence of the dentist's work. Even McSwatt's wardrobe left much to be desired. To tell the whole truth, naught of it remained save a light summer suit which McSwatt, Sr., fancied he had seen before, and which the younger man was heroically endeavoring to make fill all of the requirements of the season. The first view which the old gentleman obtained of his offspring in his college environments was through a haze of tobacco smoke, and not calculated to inspire confidence for that young man, with a coterie of maudlin companions, as mongrel a lot as ever disgraced an institution of learning, was dividing his attention between a hand of poker and a mammoth cuspidor which he spat at with the regularity of an automaton, an accuracy college born. McSwatt, Sr., tightened the purse strings, and the act induced a much-needed period of reform. Under the stimulus of parental adjuration, McSwatt settled to business, forged into the first version of his class, and his natural genius would have put him in the way of honors had it not been for the ever present conviction of the insanity of it all. Where was the use of torturing oneself with iogarithms when poker was on the taps at the inn? Self-himitation was no part of his creed. His hasty resolutions for good were repented at leisure until the time came that there seemed no longer use of struggling against his discontent, hope went glimmering, and he resolved rather than make a mess of it, to be wholly, truly bad. He broadly intimated that he intended to inaugurate the most comprehensive drunk that his limited credit would secure, and he forthwith carried out the resolution to the letter. He solemnly pledged himself never to do another bick of honest work as long as he lived. He organized a sophomore underground fraternity, the alleged purpose of which was the subjugation of unruly freshmen, but the real purpose was the encouragement or everything that was bad and the demoralization of everything that made for law and order. The flagstaff became a barber pole one night, under their treatment, and the chapel windows were made to bear the inscriptions, "Hair cut, 15 cents," and "A shave for nothing." The president's historic phaeton miractiously ascended to the roof of Dickinson hall, and even had the temerity to attempt the scaling of the huge dome when it was discovered by the proctor, who was out for his early morning rounds. To his amazed eyes, it looked for all the world like some huge spider; suspended by its slender thread midway twixt heaven and earth. As a class, they daily established a new record for unrighteousness, and whatever was bad enough for them to do at all they did with a will. One November night they broke into the rooms of two freshmen, whom they compelled to stand at the oper window in the frosty air, night-robed as they were, and sing love ditties to the maid in the moon; but McSwatt never forgot to his dying day their looks of fright, or how plaintively their voices sounded in the still night air, and when one of the marauders, in drunken glee, proposed to drench them under the pump, somehow he could not find it in his heart to enter into the spirit of the thing, and when he saw one of the innocents, a tall trail lad, terrorized by the ordeal, sobbing to himself, he stoppee the orgie It was the next day but one that the college bulletin reported the night's exploits, and deprecating the lawlessness and the heartlessness that made such misdemeanors possible, stated that Edwin Cassells, one of the victims, was suffering with pneumonia contracted by the exposure and serious fears were entertained. McSwatt slept very little during the nights that followed, and was seen several times wandering about at a very late hour, quite alone, and he occasionally stood for a few moments at a time under the window where the dim light kept vigil over the fevered patient. The fact is McSwatt thought, for the first time in his life, seriously. He thought of the tall, frail lad who had come to the great university, not as a scapegrace, seeking to do himself NIGHT-ROBED AS THEY WERE. and others all possible injury, but with a strenuous purpose to be an instrument in the uplifting of mankind; to make of himself all that his strength of mind and body would permit, and MoSwatt was ashamed to think of how little for good, how much for evil he, with his vigorous intellect and his strong physique, had accomplished. He was ashamed to think that he had not been satisfied with wasting his own opportunities, but had almost: robbed a fellow being, one so much weaker than himself, of his meager powers to do. The Friday evening's issue of the bulletin reported that Edwin Cassells was very low, that he had failed rapidly since morning, and that his parents in the far west had been telegranded. McSwatt was playing a listless game of billiards when the news reached him. He immediately put his cue in the rack, paid for the game and excused himself from his companions on the grounds of illness. What he really wanted was a moment for reflection. He walked down past the library building and the few houses, across the bridge and far into the open country beyond. That night and for many nights that followed, the sufferer had a new watcher, one who cared for him with a patience and tenderness that cooled the fever, and, in time, turned the tide of disease in the sick lad's favor, and when unmistakable convalescence had begun, the watcher placed the last few dollars that he possessed in the doctor's hand and went away as he had come quietly and without explanation. The watcher was McSwatt. He was indefinitely suspended a little later for his implication in the hazing. Horrid Fear. He—Well, the mines have finally gone on strike. That means a coal famine.

Can be consulted upon all affairs of life, business, love and marriage a specialty. Every mysteries revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrangements, challenges any Medium who can exceed her in starting 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, Friendship, with description of future companion. She is very a create it describing missing friends, enemies in her advice upon a skincare, charge of business, law enquiries, jour-ye, contact 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 now calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage, how many hidren you have or will have; whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you and if he will heart, she will tell you when you will marry her; will business and date of acquaintance. All your future will be told in an honest cleas and plain manner and in a deadrance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts or intended busband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religion 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 every one who 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 t these advisers do not take the ability 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 mind what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out of a medium is the art used by many unprincipled mediums, to take hold on the head and gain control of the mind thereby is the aim of the most of them*. And yet this can be one and by consulting Mrs. 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 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 SURVIVES FROM 10 A.M., TO 8 P. Enclose stamp for reply.

Little food was given jus the morning of the 1th, and none at all on the night of the 13th, and none on the 14th. We were two days without food and nearly starved. On Saturday, the 14th, a young man of ‘company C, Thirtieth Indiana, offered to lend the prisoners in breaking through the gate. ‘The men were des- perate enough for anything, but I went to the man of the Thirtieth, who was not more than 20 years old, and urged him not to be rash, as there was a better way. “‘I took him into a stockaded or Ahigh-fenced inclosure leading down toward the river and showed him where it was possible to tear away some heavy boards and escape that way, That night there was a heavy rain and it was very «ark. The guards were only a few feet from us as we went into ‘he inclosure, but they had turned their capes up over their heads to protect them from the cold rain and were not very alert. ‘My friend of the Thirtieth had a ra- wor-blade knife, and, crouching in the dark near the fence, he cut and cut until a part of one of the heavy boards could be pushed outward. “*After the board was reauy to be broken off we both went back te the ‘main floor of the prison, hoping that rations would be issued before taps. I told two or three of my friends about the scheme, and the Thirtieth Indiana man told several of his friends. ‘There was to be no signal, Ro general movement, but the men ‘Were to slip out one by one quietly, and each was to act on his own re- sponsibility. ‘In five minutes I missed my friend and went hurriedly to the inclosure. I saw his coattail disap- Pearing through the fence. Watching the guard until he turned his face away from the fence, I went through. “‘I came out in a cabbage patch; and my first movement was to tear off a head of cubbage and eat it.

Cork endort, of company A, Fifty-ffth 18i. nois infantry, to a group of veterans at the Sherman house, according to the Chicago Tribune. “In fact,” continued Mr. Corkendort, “they loved honey to such an extent that they frequently risked their lives to procure it, We had moved down into Memphis from a po- sition we had been holding on the out- skirts of the town for several days, and ‘on our way in we discovered a farm: house owned by a southern gentleman who had little or no use for Lineolu’s soldiers, This man was a bee fancier and had abundance of honey in bis storehouse. When we learned this we went up and tried to purchase some ot it. ‘No, sah,’ he declared, ‘Lincoln's soldiers can't have any of my honey; no, sah!’ Then he turned and walked away, leaving our boys standing in the road. “Well, that night a raid was planned by the boys.

He was seized and his gun taken away, placed in the center of his back, and then his hand tied behind him andover the gun. ‘Then he was backed up to a tree and left there. The boys then got into the honey. To make matters safe they left a small kettle of it in front of Capt Dave Stewart's tent. The next day the owner of the honey came into camp and declared that our company was nothing but a set of thieves, “Capt.

Then the entire company had to run the ‘gaatlet,’ but as the men now wore blue uniforms and were no: blacked up, he faiied to identify them.

How fully time and science have verified thest wise conclusions.

But the arguments and experiments of these new luminaries have failed te convince the thinking inquirers of the avowed correctness of their theories ‘The moderate drinker of to-day con soles himself that the wise thing to de is to largely shun the stronger alco- holies and confine his potations to that harmless beverage, beer, on the oft: lauded theory that it is nourishing and healthful. What are some of its healthful bless: poss manifested upon the human sys- fem? One of the first is to increase the size of his stomach to a capacity for a goodly round of drinks all day. Of course it is correspondingly weakened for its ordinary functional duties, but no matter for that if its reservoir ca- pacity is sufficient for the daily storage, so we find every habitual beer-drink er’s stomach abnormally enlarged, as anyone can well judge from the amount of slops often quaffed. A witness in a case of violation of the excise law for selling lager beer without license, was asked if he were an habitual beer drinker and he an swered affirmatively. He was then asked how many ginsses per day any- one could drink without feeling any intoxicating effects, “Well,” said he “I cannot tell that, for I never drank over 50 or 60 glasses in a day, but J suppose if a man were to go on and make a hog of himself He might get too much.” ‘The next damaging effects are upon the kidneys and liver, so often followed by Bright's disease, or enlargement and softening of the kidneys or an equally alarming change in the liver, by enlargement, fatty deposit or dot- ted with little hardened points like nailheads, which is called the hob- nailed or drunkard's liver, and in ad- dition to these a long line of other dis eased viseera are developed from beer drinking. Physicians and surgeons all agree that a beer drinker is a hard subject for a favorable prognosis under med- ical or surgical treatment for any in: jury or malady, Tell any physician that his patient is an habitual beer drinker and he will shrug his shoul- ders and draw a deep sigh, wishing the patient had not fallen into his hands for treatment. It is difficult to find any vital organ In a beer drinker doing its work as nature designed it should. That is the reason beer drinkers are s0 often snapped off suddenly. It is not to be supposed that there Jare no damaging results because we | cannot always trace them. One writer says: “The idea that because you stop | before you stagger, the system takes no note of the damaging material you | put into it, is a ruinous delusion.” One thing is physiologicaly certain, that a healthy person does not need artificial assistance to sustain him, even if he could find sustenance in beer. | Beer or any other form of aleohol con- tains little or no sustaining element, | but on the other hand it is a depress- | ant, lowering the condition of the sys- tem below the standard of health just | in proportion as it primarily stimulates or excites above that point. Such abnormal changes cannot long be endured by the human system but damaging results are sure to follow, | such as impaired nutrition, weakening | of nervous system, debility of the vas- cular organism deranging the heart's action and the circulation of the vital fluid, ete., ete. ‘Thus the beer drinker does not stand an equal chance with his abstemious n« ighbor for recovery from any disease © injury.—D.

It is not an @aborate inseription, but it relates in its few wordse tale that is sufficiently terrible to strain the nerves of the timid even at this late day. It tells of the awful fate of the first white ‘settlers of Chicago; of the men, wom- enand children that went down before the bloody tomahawks of the Indians almost a century ago, and the reformer is sent away a sadder but a wiser man. ‘Thicago has not a monopoly on-these tales of savage cruelty. In fact, she cannot even claim the largest. massa- ere in the history of the nation, but hers was quite large enough and bloody enough to make the Chiongo people look with disfavor upon Prof. Starr's scheme of transforming the populace again into red aborigines, Chicago is not partial to tomahawks, wigwams, war dances on the Indian style and breechclouts, and the city is a poor place to propagate such a the- ory. It may be that the professor has been studying the complexion of the recently returned summer gir, and has evolved his theory from that. Wiha abe Ss Gane at But it may be that Prof. Starr's the- ory is not so improbable after all. cape OTe maay things in our pres- ent day civiliza- tion(?) that cause us to grant at least a portion of the professor's ar- gument. ‘The Indians that our forefathers knew and fought with were fond of a wild, hilarious dance. “A dance in which weird sounds and weird- Se eae ee Pe f the predominating features. What more apt comparison can be found for our “ragtime” dances and music of the present day than the Indian dances and music of the past? The Indian and his weird dances have passed away, and in their places have come the modern American and his “ragtime,” which, after all, is seemingly but an encore for that which is gone. ‘Then, too, there are the feathers. ‘The pictures of the Indians that our histories have preserved for us show the red nobility of the past bedeeked with innumerable feathers. ‘They were his pride and his joy. To-day ask the modern woman of fashion what she prizes most in. her wardrobe and she will as a rule point to the feathers that adorn her headgear, It may not be an eagle's feather, but then the eagles have gone with the Indians, but it will be feathers, anything from a goose quill to a bird of paradise, that she will show you. Is that not an- other symptom of the value of Prof. Starr’s theory? ‘The Ibdians of the past wore as few clothes as nature an® their unwritten laws permitted—that is, if the pictures in our histories are to be believed. Does not the shirt-waist man of to-day point to a tendency to return to the ways of the Indian? If these things exist to-day, and who will deny their existence, what may not the evolution of another century bring forth? Rat Raw Food. Chicago is given to fads.

Prof. Tyler, of Indianapolis, is the motive power for this new movement, and in it he claims to have found that for which De Soto searched in vain— the fountain of perpetual youth. The professor claims that cooking is simply a notion, and a bad notior-at that; one that has brought to the world quite as many ils as did Eve's temptation of Adam. Without the notion man should live, according to the professor, to a far greater age than is now deemed possible, and he advances some seem- ingly sound reasons for his statements. But the professor should beware, or he may have the Amalgamated Associ- ation of Servant Girls after him, for has he not unconsciously assisted in the solution of the servant gin. prob- lem, even though he may not have found the fountain of perpetual youth. A Gretam Green Dimeulty. St. Joseph, Mich., is losing its popu- larity as a Gretna Green for the love- psy haba iro maidens of Chi- cago, and all be- cause some evilly~ ‘disposed persons who are more de- sirous of a share in this worki's goods then care- ful of the happi- ness of others have basely imposed upon those seeking for the joys of con- nubial bliss, A A) Be Ye WEB™ the trouble to cross the lake to get him- self tied up to the girl of his choice, and then returns to face an irate parent and the difficulties of providing the wherewithal with which the two are to live, it is discouraging to find that the effort has ali been in vain, and that the young lady is as free to “go right home to mamma” as though there had been no ceremony. ‘That is just the predicamient in which a number of newly-married men in Ohi- cago are finding themselves at the present time, or at least are afraid they are in, and they are anxiously await- ing developments at St. Joseph that will either give them a good title to their wives or dash their hopes of mat- rimonial joys to the ground, and per- mit them to begin their courting days all over again with some other girl if they feel so inclined. ‘The trouble is, it is feared, there have been wolves in sheep's clothing in St. Joseph; that unauthorized men have led guileless youths to the slaugh- ter for the two dollars there was in the job, and not because either the law or the church gave them the authority. It is said that house rent has advanced in St, Joseph because of the demand for locations for matrimonial agencies where three-minute ceremonies might be performed at the regular rates, Now it is said that. all of these agencies are not “regular,” and the chief of police of St. Joseph Is investigating some of them in the interests of a few hundred /eaxious Chicago husbands.

T was standing at the counter in one of the Chicago ticket offices the other day when a clerical-looking gentle- man and a woman entered, ‘They had both come to secure sleeping car berths on the same train, and both made known their wants at the same time, but to different clerks. Both wanted lower berths, and both were told that there was but one left and that they could have it. Then of course there was trouble, The laws of propriety would not per- mit them to occupy the berth to- gether. The lady insisted that she had spoken frst, and anyhow the fact of her being a lady should give her the preference. The gentleman insisted that he had secured it first, and that he would willingly surrender it to the lady but for the fact of his great weight making it practically impossible for him to get into an upper berth. Just as the trouble threatened to re- sult in’s hair-pulling mateh, a clerk from the general office of the road came in with instructions to hold a lower berth for the general passenger agent of the road, and the trouble be- tweem the two was settled by neither of them getting the berth. When they left it was with a threat that they would bring a joint suit for damages against the road. ‘WRIGHT A. PATTERSON. W. W SCOTT {+ 808 Ne 20d Stxest.

Spirits of Departed Captains Help Him Steer His Tug—Navigates Altogether by the Advice of Uncanny Phantom Pilots. "The Ghost Master" is what Louis Groh's fellow tug captains call him. He says he communes at all times with the spirits of shipwrecked mariners, his comrades of bygone years. He believes what they tell him—or what he thinks they tell him—and navigates the river and lake in a vision of supernatural sights and sounds, yet as skillfully as the most practical and skeptical skipper in these waters. For nearly 30 years he has commanded tugs on the Chicago river, and few of his comrades can show a cleaner sheet in the matter of accidents. They come to him in the pilot-house, they stalk the deck, they perch on the windward rail when the seas are running high. They wear the clothes they wore in life and address him in the same old voices. And he, though he knows they are dead men, has no fear—not even when they exercise the blood-curdling accomplishment of writing messages to him in characters of fire which have no more solid background than the air. He is confident that some day he will find the steamer Chicora, which disappeared in 1895 between Milwaukee and St. Joseph, leaving only a few bits of floating wreckage to tell the tale. The ghost of John Erickson, the fireman of a tug which blew up in the river a year later, has promised to be his guide. This is Capt. Groh's account of the conversation, as given to a New York World correspondent: "I'm a-goin' to find the Chicora for you," he said. " 'How'll I know?' I asked. "Well, I'm coming to see you again and locate it on paper. But if you pass over the spot before that I'll strike you with a chill and throw you to the door of the pilot-house so you'll know it's the place." "We talked a bit longer and then he said Capt. Johnny Ferruson wanted to GHOST VISITS PILOT HOUSE talk to me, so he went away. That was at a trumpet seance, and I expect to go to another soon and hear from him again." Capt. Groh relates that prior to this interview-soon after Ericson was killed, in fact—his shade appeared to Groh's daughter with the message: "My body is in the Air Line slip and will float if a steamer's wheel churns up the water." Capt. Groh says that he backed his tug into the slip and churned up the water and that, sure enough, John Ericson's body came up as had been revealed. The "Ghost Master" reports that Ed Stines, skipper of the ill-fated Chicora, is also trying to talk to him. He explains: "I am a little hard of hearing and most of the spirits talk in whispers, so I have to hear through mediums sometimes. Ed and six of his crew frequently call upon a medium and they keep asking for me, and I intend to go soon and learn the whole story of the Chicora's last voyage. "I know it is not between here and St. Joe, for I have crossed three times since I saw John, and he has not stricken me with a chill. "How do all these men appear? Why, just as they did in life. Just the other day I was coming up the river and as I passed the Goodrich wharf there was old Capt. Gilman standing there matural as life directing affairs. "Dave Cockran was there, too. Now Gilman has been dead since last winter and Dave has been superintendent in his place, yet there was the old man, as real as ever." "When I see a man with my eyes and hear him with my ears why should I doubt he is there? I stood and watched Gilman until we were through Rush street bridge." Capt. Groth prefers the phrase "spirit ship" to "spirit of a ship," explaining that while a ship, being material, has no spirit, the spirits of its crew might create a phantom ship. **Fall of Rain and Snow.** The average annual total of water which falls as rain or snow in the United States is 1,407 cubic miles. This amount of rain would more than twice fill Lake Ontario. To raise this water to the clouds from which it fell would require the work of 500,000,000 horses working ten hours a day throughout the year. **Meat Preserved by Freezing.** Meat has been preserved in a frozen state for 30 years and found perfectly suitable at the end of that time.

May Irwin has purified some property in New York city, for which she paid $40,000. Jean de Reszke, according to Dr. Holbrook Curtis, who examined him in Paris recently, is now in as excellent voice as ever, the rumors of his injured vocal chords being quite baseless. May Yohe, by latest account, will star this season in the "Little Duchess," and not in "The Gay Grisette." Both attractions will be put forth by A. H. Chamberlyn. J. M. Barrie's new play is now under rehearsal at the Garrick theater, London. The drama—It is a much more serious piece than Mr. Barrie has hitherto written—is in four acts and the title has not yet officially transpired. Mascagni's new opera. "Maschero," was recently performed before a large number of musicians in the drawing-room of Sig. Felice Robert, of Rome. The various parts were sung by professional vocalists and the accompaniments were played on a piano. It has transpired that in the music for his latest opera Mascagni has to a considerable extent adopted the manner of the last century; indeed, it is affirmed that the overture is almost Mozartian in style.
