Hoge Tyler was the most note-worthy feature of the session. His remarks as to the duty of the convention related to the need of retrenchment and reform in the number of officers and a consequent curtailment of expenses. GOLDEN ADVICE GIVEN He spoke in favor of fewer officers and better pay. It was significant that he made no reference whatever to the curtailment of suffrage, but on the contrary said: 'While not forgetting the lofty traditions and memories of our noble past, I beg of you turn your faces to the future and become leaders in deed and in truth of the best political thought of our new century, Let no old, mildew prejudice encumber your labors, regulate and adjust the affairs of this Commonwealth to the future progress of our country and of the world. Give nice and delicate adjustment to the scales of justice, as between man and man, so that it can be the proud boast of Virginians everywhere that in their dear old state the humblest citizen has an equal opportunity before the law.' It is conceded that the address was the ablest ever delivered by him. He deals exclusively with the material prosperity of the commonwealth. A-VOTE OF THANKS. Captain R. S.

News From The Philippines. MANILA, P. L., May 4. 1901. Things are quite breezy these times. A general court martial is now in session in Manila trying an officer of the Subsistence Department charged with securing funds through his position and appropriating them to his own use. The Manila AMERCAN says damaging evidence is being brought out. The sixth case on trial two have not been heard public, and one is that of Commissary Agent Metz, who atterserving 20 years in the illegal actions, honorably discharged, and sentenced to 2 years in Billibie prison, Manila. There are more to be tried yet including officers. Aguinaldo's proclamation to his people has caused nearly all his generals to surrender except the blood-thirsty outlaw. Oalles, who has proclaimed himself President of the Filipino Republic and murdered eight American prisoners in his power. He was given a warm shake-up by Captain Chase and narrowly escaped capture, all of his staff was killed or captured as well as 1 Mauser rifles, 5 Mauser carbine, 1 Remington, 1 Winchester and one double barrel shot gun, 1 gun barrel, 4 revolvers, two sabers, 1 surveyor's transit, a telephone outfit and 6 leather belts and 20,000 pounds of sulphur with other materials for making cartridges destroyed. Two men of the 21st Infantry were drowned in the attack. Agilipay who was Finik's principal assistant and who gave Gen. Young's troops so much trouble surrendered to Col. M. Caskie, 20th Infantry. He was formerly a priest, but was cashiered on account of being implicated in a murder some time ago, he attempted to negotiate surrender, on the assurance of being restored to the priesthood, but was refused. Gen. Tinio surrendered, but the particulars are not at hand. General Torres, the astute and bonustal commander of the Revolutionary forces in Bulean surrendered to the commanding officer at Morzagary with all the men of the platoon, on April 28rd. He only adjoined the course after being thoroughly whipped by Captain MaRae with a detachment of the 29rd Infantry and Macabebes on the date of his surrender, capturing nearly all his rifles. General Morales, one of the most noted and soldierly of the Insurgent generals, surrendered his staff and 40 armed men to Lieutenant Col. Beaicone, 42nd Infantry, on April 25 h. He only surrendered when Aggie issued his proclamation and Sener Guzman a leading citizen explained the American cause and he finally consented. Sener Guzman arranging the surrender, they took the oath of allegiance. General Baideoras, Aguinado, cooin of the ex-dictator, surrendered last week but the particulars are not obtainable at this writing. General Salon, the last of the Insurgent generals in the island of Panay, surrendered to Maj. Noble, Adjutant General to General Hughes, on April 23rd, at Iloilo (elo-elo). His forces are very much scattered and will come in bringing their arms and taking the oath of allegiance as soon as possible. This surrender is the most important in that part of the Archipelago. A correspondent of the NEW AMERICAN writes an interesting article on General Mascardo's famous "Rsd Broutie Bronger" from Orane, Bataan, stating in part that he has 400 armed men with Mausar rifles, camped near Oriani and wishes (c surrender, but will not do so to Major Voss, 6th Artillery owing to personal hatred, preferring to await the arrival of Captain Ludlow of the same regiment, who is in Manila on court-martial duty. This completely winds up the insurrection leaving only Oalle; and the Ladrone element still on. Lieutenant M. Nab with detachment "2 B" company, 25th Inf., captured 12 Remington Rifles in the mountains back of Palanig. The information was received from native prisoners, captured by the native residents of the town. The above indications are good signs of peace for some time to some. The trial of the native priest and some of his parishoners for burying natives alive, which has been going on for sometime, has developed strong evidence against them. It is said, Gen. Piodes Pilar, who is now at Guam" issued the orders and that they working under his directions It is thought he will be brought back as a witness. Don Jose Serapi), Civil Governor of Bulacan Province called on the authorities at Manila and protested against the occupation of the town by the Mac abebe assou owing to the universal hatred against them. His son was captured some time ago by Ladrone but soon liberated. He stated that the burning of Morsagary was because of their presence. He also stated that the government officials had promised him that the towns would soon be garrisoned by native police. The commissary trouble as previously mentioned in this letter, has reached an erroneous stage. Mr. M. F. Clarke, the genial proprietor of the largest and most up-to-date confectionary and catering establishment of this city and one as the largest in the East, was arrested charged with receiving stolen government property. Representatives of two other commercial houses of the city are also mixed up in the affair. The Mosquitto fleet which sailed from Helsinki to the city by part of the winter, arrived at Cannes later. The tug *Pacautaura* was little dam: aged end put on the ways at Cavite for repairs. The Wampataquack proceeded to Olen-gapoo, towning a loocha to bring back the old Spanish distilling plant for over hauling. A native police of Bacoor, just below Manila stabbed a woman to death in the latter place last week, jealousy evidently the cause. Considerable improvement is going on in Zambales Province, the home of the 23rd Infantry. One of the big horse power rollers and several thousand and feet of Oregon plow was shipped to Subig for improving the Provincial wards. Lieutenant Parekr, 25th Infantry, with a detachment of mounted scouts recently made a trip to Dandilipjan, Province of Bataan over Zambales mountains via Olongapoo. It is reported that Gen. Burt has approved the applications of the following non-commissioned officers for commins in the native reeziments: Sergt' Major, Anthony A. Marrow; Battalion Sergt Major, M. W. Sadler; Principal musician, Geo. S. Thompson; bund 1 st Sergt. Talferro, Co. C, 25th infantry; 1 st Sergt. Baskerville, Co. 25th Infantry. They have the best wishes of the regiment for success The Iloano scoute are now organized in connection with the 25th infantry. This organization was trained by Sergeant Thompson, Co. M, 25th inh. assisted by Privatees Smith, Co. M Olemmans and Carriek, Co. X, 1st Lt. J. E. Hunt, 25th Infantry is now in command, assisted by Lieut. Comer, is hoped all the enlisted men now on duty with them can obtain commis- sions. The general outlook is excel- ent, and trade and commerce improv- ing. Recents reports show that the commerce of Manila is increasing at an alarming rate. The new government's ice plant is near ready for occupation RIENZA B. LE FUS. Rev. Dr. P. F.

At 8:30 a very able and soul-stirring sermon was delivered by Dr. W. F. Graham and at 8:30 Rev. Wm. Troy delighted the audience. A collection of $121.60 was raised. We recognize in Dr. Powell a worthy leader and a Christian gentleman. The old 5th Church feels proud to claim him as the pastor. Last Sunday, June 16th was a great day at the 5th Church when 52 persons were added to the membership. Of this number 49 were baptized. 14 others are waiting for baptism. To all of the three services of the day the church was crowded to overflowing. At 11:30 a. m. the pastor preached a short and impressive sermon to the candidates. In the afternoon the communion and hand of fellowship was given and a special charge full of wholesome advice to the young people. Thus the work of another year begins.

A Tragedy in Louisiana—Sad Ending of a Quarrel—Innocent Colored People Corralled—Threatened With Being Lynched—Edwards Eluded Capture. SHEWREPORT, LA., June 12—This fornoon a most deploitable tragedy occurred at Foster, a flag station five miles east of this place. The affair was the shooting and almost instant killing of Mr. John Gray Foster, aged about 21 years, by a colored man named Edwards. From what can be learned it seems that Mr. Vickets, overseer of the plasmation, had trouble with the colored man E'war's early that morning, and the colored man drew a pistol on the everseer. Shortly after the trouble Mr. Foster reprimanded 'than man while in the field, when the man struck him on the head with a hoe. Mr. Foster then went back to the house and asked the physician, Dr. -RETURNED TO PUNISH EFM. Insulted and in pain, he mounted his horse, and with the overseeer and another, went to the colored man's cabin to discharge him. As soon as he drove up to the door Edward opened it and identified at him twice with a shot gun. He was taken from his horse and when asked by Mr. Vickers if he could walk replied, "I think not," so they procured a buggy and two men pulled it, but he expired just as they reached his store. He was shot in the breast and in the shoulder. The alarm was given and Edwards and his friends scattered to the woods. As soon as the telephone message was received here doctors hastened to go to the young man's assistance, but death came before they reached him. Mrs. Foster, mother of the murdered boy and Mr. J. M. Foster, brother, left about 12 o'clock in a carriage on the sad mission of accompanying the remains to this city. The Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad kindly tendered a special engine to bring the body. WBKC TO LYNCH BIM. It is learned that a pose under the command of Sheriff Thompson of Bessier started at once from Benton, and that another pose of twenty-five from the neighborhood of the murder was organised and Cogan a pursuit of the colored man. They are thus practically surrounded by armed men determined on their capture, and it only remains to chronicle the fate that will be dealt out to them when this is effected. Not less than 200 armed men have gone from this city to the scene killing for the purpose of assisting in the case of Edwards and his associates, and the latest report received here is that all the colored people who are supposed to be well armed, are surrounded in the wamp, and their capture, dead or alive in only a question of a few hours. This city and the entire country are aroused over the killing of young Foster. A reward of $500 is offered for the capture of Edwards. John G Foster was the youngest son of the late Captain J. M. Foster, of this city, a brother of Hon. W. L. Foster, member of the state railroad commission, and of Mrs. Benton McMillan, wife of the min. in of Tennessee. He enjoyed high school distinction as a member of one of the foremost families of the state. SAID TO BE A LEADER: "Prophet" Smith, who is responsible for the influx of bad Texas colored people to this point, has been captured, and will almost certainly be killed. All of the colored people implicated in the Foster killing, except the actual murderer, are now in custody, being held in Kenn-brew's store, near the scene of the killing. They are D McLand, F. Boyd Sam Washington, Mandy Edwards, Philis Hamilton, Lelia Horton. Adeline Allen, Annie Edwards and the wives of McLand and Washing on. The store is surrounded by several hundred armed men, who are masters of the situation. At 11 o'clock, the last heard from the store, it was reported that a lynching is certain at least in the case of "prophet" Smith. Some favor holding off until Edwards is captured, but the majority want to burn Smith and a few extremis s thick it would be proper to clean out the entire crowd. The authorities are said to be powerless inadequate to cope with the inadequate to cope with the GLOOM AT WEDDINGS. James Hill Fullove and Miss Eoline Schuler were married at Keachie, La.-day, C. J. Foster, Jr. and Miss Bessie McUthohee were married here this evening. The contracting partner were relatives of John Gray Foster, whose untimely death caused a postponement of a brilliant reception. A brother and sister of the deceased were in attendance at the former wedding when the news of his death reached them. Mr. Foster was soon to have been married to Miss Bessie Felix of Louisville, Ky. Among those present were Governor McMillin, of Tennessee, and Mrs. McMillin, a sister of the murdered man. The score of colored people under arrest charged with complicity in the murder of Foster have been successfully removed to the Parish jail at Benton, and there is no further fear of mob violence. Edwards, did the killing, is still large, and possess son- tinue in the field, sourcing the country in every direction, in the hope of a prehening the murder r. If caught, Edwards will be summarily dealt with. The excitement of yesterday and last night has been almost wholly alayed in the colored people now under arrest are deceived, no further trouble is anticipated. Children's Day Exercises.

"The Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co., N. & W. R. R. Co., Olinneau, N.O., & Texas Pacific Railway company, and the Chesspeak & Ohio Railway company, in order to comply with the laws of some of the states, have used signs designating space in their trains for colored and white passgers. Some of their trains start in Ohio, and others reach the end of their routes in this states, and in the past have come into the state with these signs, and gone out of the state with them. Several weeks ago, Mr. Morris, commissioner of railroads and telegraphs, called the attention of the managers of these companies to the fact that these color distinctions are in violation of the law of Ohio. As a result of his endeavors, the managers of roads have issued orders for bidding the carrying of these signs within the state of Ohio, and they are now removed from all trains before entering the state, and are not displayed within the state upon their departure."—Columbus, O.

CAMDEN, ARK , June 4th — Great excitement prevailed on the streets yesterday by a subdued rumor that Mrs. Tom Watson had retracted her statements relative to the guilt of Will Busy, who was convicted of rapa two weeks ago upon her evidence. There has been a lininger doubt in the minds of many citizens as to the guilt of the colored man, although the jury returned a verdict of guilty fifteen minutes after retiring. The verdict was based upon the evidence of Mrs. Tom Watson. THE SHERIFF'S VISIT. Yesterday Sheriff R. D. Newton and Circuit Clerk, C. I. Gordon went out to Mrs. Watson's house where they found her and her husband. Mrs. Watson made to them a written statement and swore to it. In this statement she says that the whole affair was conducted by the man, concocted by her husband for the purpose of doing away with him because he would not help them in their aron. TOLD THE WHOLE STORY. She says she gave her evidence in the matter under dire threats; that her husband threatened desertion and death and that she took the part she did on his account. Mr. Tom Watson now admits the innocence of the colored man, but beyond that makes no further admission. The colored man was sentenced to be hung June 29th. It was this undercurrent of doubt in the minds of the best citizens that kept Bussy from being mobbed. Steps will be taken as early as possible to have the prisoner released. Fulton Notes.

AC PLANET Strange Noises Frightened the People of Waukean, Ill. Harmless Investor, Who Was Suspected by His Fellow-Citizens of Being a Wizard, Finally Umraveled the Mystery. The town of Waukegan, Ill., is a veritable bower of foliage, tall trees, and many of them, spreading their boughs as thick as in a forest over the yards of the residents. This fact will explain the presence of the ghost. Some time ago an inventor who has a laboratory in the rear of his premises was cautiously approached by a neighbor who lives across the street. Under his breath he asked the inventor whether he had heard any strange noises of late. But the inventor had not. Now, the inventor himself had been the subject of much gossip in the town. His was a queer-looking place, hidden away where no one could see it. It was provided with a tall tower in which were odd-looking portholes, and in this inclosure, it was said, all kinds of strange devices were suspended. Many persons stepped lightly as they passed, for fear a jar would dislodge the hanging things, which, being precipitated to the floor, would set off an explosion that would blow the capital of Lake county to kingdom come. It had been hinted that the man responsible for all these contrivances was a sort of wizard, and that there were uncanny doings over in the backyard. As the stories of the queer noises grew the wizard was the object of many suspicious glances. The wizard, however, says the Chicago Daily News, bent over his work with renewed zeal. He was not at all disturbed until he himself became a victim of the ghost's doings, and heard the noises which to the neighborhood had seemed decidedly unearthly. One feature of the house in which the wizard lived was that all the windows and doors were wired. A fly alighting on an exposed wire would ring an alarm that would startle the town. In the little reception hall was a wicket through which one is required to pass in order to gain access to the stairway. This was provided with a buzzer that set up a terrific noise on the closing of a circuit. One night the inventor was preparing to retire early, when he was made aware of the presence of odd noises. THE GHOST HAS BEEN SKINNED. They sounded like a man slipping across the roof and dragging a heavy rope after him. First the noise was heard overhead, then under the floor, and then in the wall at the head of the bed. The inventor became interested, and incidentally his hair began to rise. The ghost stories that he had heard lately from the neighbors came to him in a flood. He moved about the house in his nightshirt, grasping a horse pistol in each hand. Suddenly the buzzer on the wicket at the foot of the stairs began to do its turn, and the sound of it gave the wizard the shivers. "Come right on up; don't stop to knock!" he shouted to an imaginary intruder below. But nobody came, although the noises continued through the night and for several nights. The wizard became communicative and now wanted to talk to the neighbor across the way, who acted as if he desired to dodge the inventor. Mattes rapidly approached a crisis. But at last the ghost was found out. One of the wizard's aids in scurrying across the yard one moonlit night saw the ghost run up a tree. It jumped over on the porch, and, reaching over to the eaves, caught in its grasp a double line of wires. Immediately the buzzer set up a noise inside the house. Then the ghost let go and disappeared in a hole in the curfice of the house. The assistant got inside at once and summoned the household. In less time than it takes to tell terrifying noises were heard in different parts of the house. The "ghost" was one of the largest raccoons ever seen in Lake county. He made nocturnal visits to every house in which he could gain access, dragged himself between the floors and ceilings and clambered up and down the walls. He gnawed the insulation off the wizard's wires, and, gripping them together, closed a circuit, which explained the working of the wicket alarm. The ghost has been skinned, and peace hovers over Waukegan. Peacemaker Gets in Trouble. A couple of chicken hawks were engaged in a fierce fight at East View, O., when W. H. Robinson tried to set as peacemaker, with the aid of a club. The hawks at once turned on him and tried to pick out his eyes. Just as he was almost exhausted a farmer rushed to his rescue and drove off the birds. SHE HAD A HISTORY. Woman in as Automobile Coat Who Tried a Ruse on Some Tired Milwaukee Clerks. It was 5:45 o'clock, and in the big tea house the office force was very busy indeed, says the Milwaukee Sentinel. The typewriter clicked rapidly and the heavy pens scratched over the thick leaves. In the height of the rush a woman entered the office. She carried a fox muff, and a graceful automobile coat reached to her feet. "A stunner!" breathed several of the official force, and then the young man nearest left the stool and said: "What can I do for you, miss?" She seemed a bit confused. "I have a great secret," she whispered, but somehow every clerk heard. They surrounded her. "Yes," she continued, "I am a woman with a history." After this you could not have paid those clerks to return to their stools. "Are you interested?" she asked. "Interested!" roared the tall pen THE OFFICE FORCE RETREATED. scratcher. "Why, a statue would be interested in your history." "And you will not discourage me?" "Never! Do not fear to tell us all. Now for your history." She drew flat volume from the folds of her automobile. "Here it is. A complete history of the Boer war to date. Two thousand pages, 500—" In confusion the office force retreated. "Run, woman—run!" shouted the clerk. "What is it?" she gasped. "The great water tank on the roof has burst!" With a long shriek she rushed down to the street. "When they spring those gags you have to take heroic means," grinned the tall pen scratcher. "Women's histories ain't what they are cracked up to be." EVIDENCE WAS DIRECT. Boy Witness Shows Lawyer for the Prosecution Just How His Client Was Attacked. A boy was summoned to testify in a case of assault, in which one man had hit another with a shovel. A host of witnesses had been called, who "beat about the bush" in the most tedious and provoking manner. This annoyed the lawyer for the prosecution, who broke out as follows: "Here, boy, we've been going round and round this case for hours, and yet have no evidence to convict the prisoner. Now, sir," he savagely continued, "do you hear me? I want you to come to the direct point. Did you see the blow struck?" "Yes, sir." "Ah, ha," chuckled the lawyer, rubbing his hands, "we have something to work upon. Here, my good lad, take this cane (handing him his walking DIRECT EVIDENCE stick). If you saw the blow struck, you must know how it was given." "Yes, sir, I—" "Now, then, no words about it, I tell you!" thundered the interrogator. "I'm the complainant and you are the prisoner. Now, just raise the stick, and show the court." The bewildered lad did "raise the stick," and the next moment it came down upon the bald pate of the astonished lawyer, and sent him staggering to his seat. "That's the way it was done, sir," said the boy, amid the shrieks of laughter of the whole court-room. The discomfited counsel, with a ghastly attempt to smile, said that he had done with the witness—the evidence was direct. Farm Hands Badly Needed The farmers of Kansas, Nebraska and other western states want 20,000 men toassist in cutting and threighing the season's wheat crop. The men are wanted at once, and they are promised steady work at high wages for the next two montns. Tea Culture in Carolina. The culture of tea in South Carolina is to be attempted on a large scale. A company with abundant means has been organized, and a tract of 6,000 acres has been purchased near Charleston. THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND VIRGINIA Th Reign of Lawlessness "You don't mean to say that you have taken to smoking!" "Yes," answered the young man with red cheeks and pearly teeth. "But I thought you disliked tobacco." "I don't care much for it. But I have not succeeded in making the impression I hoped for with the dearest young woman in the world. So I thought I would make arrangements even at some personal inconvenience to give up smoking for her sake. That always appears to make such a profound impression."—Washington Star. May Know Too Much "Do women who have had the advantage of advanced education make good wives?" asked the bachelor, thoughtfully. At this the benedict took him to one side, where he could speak confidentially. "If you ever marry," he said, "and find occasion to frame up a real good excuse for a protracted session at the club you will discover that it is possible for a woman to know too much."—Chicago Post. He Let It Go at That "What is the sacrament of marriage?" asked the Sunday school superintendent of a girl in the juvenile class. "It is a state of punishment into which we enter to prepare for another and better world," replied the little miss, who had learned her lesson by rote and got things slightly mixed. "That isn't the orthodox answer," said the superintendent, with a deep sigh, "but perhaps, after all, it may be correct."—Chicago Daily News. Epworth League convention. San Fran cisco, alifornia.

SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1901 Larx us practice self-respect and this turn will lead us to respect others. Our white friends are not as active in our behalf as they might be, but their efforts will be felt in due season. It is at last beginning to dawn upon some of the white folks that they cannot injure the colored folks without injuring themselves. The fact that slavery existed in Anderson county, South Carolina, was heralded over the country and resulted in the abolishing of the system, so far as that section was concerned. Ten men indicted for conspiracy, false imprisonment and assault and battery of a high and aggravating nature pleaded guilty to only simple assault and battery, were fined fifty dollars each and released June 14th at Columbia, South Carolina. The situation of our people in some sections of this great country is truly pitiable. And still the agitation against them continues. The conviction of WILL BUSSY. (colored) charged with criminally assaulting Mrs. TOM WARSON (white) at Camden, Arkansas has attracted widespread attention. He was to have been hanged June 29th, 1901. It now trapspires that he is not guilty. The white woman comes forward and admits that she sorely and that his arrest was the result of a conspiracy on the part of her husband. He became angry with the colored man because he would not assist him with his crop. Had Bussy been lynched the truth would never have been known. As it is, it took a white jury only fifteen minutes to condemn an innocent colored man to death. Truly is it becoming more apparent that our chances are but alim in a court of law, Lynch-law must go！ WILMINGTON'S WORRY. It seems that the City Council of Wilmington, N. O., adopted an ordinance, making it compulsory under penalty of a $50 fine, for ice dealers to furnish each of their delivery wagons with standard scales, and permitting the customers, when it is so desired, to weigh or superintend the weighing of each block of ice purchased. The ice-company thereupon issued orders that no ice-delivery wagon should deliver any ice at the residences of the offending aldermen. These aldermen are very angry and it is announced that they will carry the case into the courts upon the ground that the company has no right to refuse the sale of ice to any citizen who makes application and proffers the usual price. This has been our contention all along, and these aldermen will no doubt be astounded when they find, contrary to their intentions, they are making a fight for the very colored people whom they have humiliated and murdered. Certainly, the ice cream and soda water fountain dealers, the inn and hotel keepers, will be called to explain why they refuse the sale of their refreshments and eatables to a citizen of color for under this construction they have no right to do so where the application is made and the usual price tendered. A funny world this! ST. LOU S' TROUBLES "Over 6 500 Negroes in St Louis and yet the white man don't allow the colored man a dog's show. Not one store will employ a color girl as sleek. Not one store in St. Louis that will employ a Negro only as porter. Not one bank will employ a Negro only as junior. Not one foundry, cooper shop or carpenter shop will give our boys a show to learn a trade. No facory of any kind will employ our young people. The Trans Company employ no conductor or mortorner from among our people. Not one place of business of any kind will employ a Negro man or woman. Then they say: "The Negro ought to work and our young girls be upright and honest." Do the white men and women think they are doing the right thing by our people?" This condition of affairs exists to a greater or lesser degree throughout the country. There is but one remedy, so far as we are able to observe, and that is for the colored people to combine and employ themselves as clerks. We must run our own stores, operate our own factories, furnish our own carpenter shops and subsisten enough stock to put upon the surface our own street-car lines. There are some of our people, who will not see it, and "cry down" any effort made in this direction, but a change is coming and are long the croakers will go to the rear. It will be found, too, that the better class of white people are encouraging the colored people in all legitimate efforts to improve in business, and in the conduct of enterprises on their own account. THE CONVENTION AND THE OATH THE action of the Constitutional Convention in laying upon the table the motion that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention shall take the oath of office as prescribed by the present constitution has attracted widespread attention and elicited no end of comment. Judge B. R. WELFORD JR., an eminent jurist and a Circuit Judge has already given his opinion upon the subject. He declared the position of delegate to the Constitutional Convention to be an office. It seems that his reasons therefor are well-founded. The present body has been convened under a provision of the present Virginia Constitution. The Convention must then be bound by the instrument which created it, and outside of its provisions for a change it cannot go. In other words, it can "revise and amend the Constitution," but further than this, it cannot go. To argue that a Constitutional Convention is a revolutionary body with the power to trample under its feet all of the state's written laws is to claim a right not given by any authority which has been cited upon the subject. To go beyond the authority given by the state Constitution, one must seek for the right in the Federal Constitution or ask for the privilege from the Congress of the United States. Article XII, Section 2, reads: "At the general election to be held in the year 1888, and in each twentieth year thereafter, and also at such time as the general assembly may by law provide, the question, 'Shall there be a convention to revise the constitution and amend the same?' shall be decided by the electors qualified to vote for members of the general assembly; and in case a majority of the electors so qualified voting at such election shall decide in favor of a convention for the general assembly at its next election shall provide by law for the election of delegates to a convention: Provided. That no amendment or revision shall be made which shall deny or in any way impair the right of suffrage, or any civil or political right as conferred by this constitution, except for causes which apply to all persons and classes without distinction." If then these delegates to this constitutional convention were elected under the aforesaid provisions, they are subject to the law under which they were elected. If they are subject to law under which they were elected, then delegates to a constitutional convention are as much officers as are delegates to the legislature. In the one case the delegate is to revise and amend the state constitution, and in the other case the delegate is only to enact laws not in conflict with the state constitution. The State Democratic Convention in deciding to make the call for a Constitution 1 Convention a party issue passed a resolution in favor of a restriction of the suffrage, by which only Negroes and no white men should be disfranchised. This was in effect to decide that no disfranchising amendment should be passed at all, for the state constitution, under which the Constitutional Convention was called expressly forbids any change in the suffrage which does not apply to all persons and classes without distinction and this may be said to go even beyond the 15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The last specified provision is as follows: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The Constitutional Convention is thereby expressly prohibited from doing what it declares its purpose to do. The following is the oath of office which this body does not desire to take: "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and maintain the constitution and laws of the United States, and the constitution and laws of the State of Virginia; that I recognize and accept the civil and political equality of all men before the law, and that I will faithfully perform the duty of _____ to the best of my ability: So help me God." CARNEGIE AGAIN KING. Will Dominate the Affairs of the Big Steel Trust. SCHWAB HIS REPRESENTATIVE. The Headquarters of the Combine Will Be Removed From New York to the Carnegie Offices in Pittsburg—To Absorb the Steel Hoop Company. Youngstown, O., June 10—Information reached here last night from a reliable source that at a meeting of the INDUSTRY Gives Out S MR. MONNE Ohio's Form clauses That ly Evades and Openly Washington trial commission print as a par No wonder they balked. No wonder they engaged in extended argument. No Supreme Court is needed to interpret language so plain and no precedents of one hundred years ago are needed to show any honest, conscientious man that his duty is plain. Under the provision of the law by which these delegates were elected, they cannot legally abolish the present constitution. They can only revise and amend it, and this can only be done within the limits set forth in the section which we have cited. To our mind, if the Negro-haters desired to call together a revolutionary body for the purpose of abolishing the constitution of Virginia, they should have adopted the plan followed by the insurrectionist of Wilmington, North Carolina, who calls under the euphonious name of A. M. WADDELL. They could proceed to organize red or white shirt brigades, and at the muzzle of shot-guns, and point of the bayonet oust Gov. TYLER and disperse the legislature of Virginia. They could then have abolished the present constitution. But, until they do this, the present Constitution buds and they are officers within its meaning and must subscribe to the oath of office. But then,—we shall see what we shall see. Oh, what a muddle some of these white folks get into, and on! what a time they have getting out of it! A WEEK'S NEWS CONDENSED. Thursday. June 13. A movement is on foot to combine all coal mines not adahead secured by the steel trust. The battleship Illinois, in her trial off Boston, proved herself the fastest of her class afloat, covering 17.31 knots an hour.

CARNEGIE AGAIN KING. CARNEGIE AGAIN KING. Will Dominate the Affairs of the Big Steel Trust. SCHWAB H1S REPRESENTATIVE. The Headquarters of the Combine Will Be Removed From New York to the Carnegie Offices in Pittsburg—To Absorb the Steel Hoop Company. Youngstown, O., June 10.—Information reached here last night from a reliable source that at a meeting of the stockholders of the National Steel company to be held at East Orange, N. J., June 27, a prearranged plan to consolidate the National and the Carnegie Steel companies will be effected. After this meeting the officers of the National Steel company, which will then be known as the Carnegie company, will be removed to Pittsburg and joined with those of the Carnegie company, all being under one management. This explains why the plans which were practically closed for the removal of the national officers from New York to Youngstown were suddenly changed. It is evidently the policy of the United States Steel corporation to abolish all high salaried officials and have the affairs directed from the Carnegie offices in Pittsburgh. The manner in which matters are shaping themselves goes still farther in establishing the fact that Mr. Carnegie is still in control and is personally represented by Mr. Schwah. In addition to the consolidation of the National Steel company with the Carnegie Steel company it is also understood that the identity of the Steel Hoop company is to be lost in that of the Carnegie Steel company after July 1. All contracts that shall have been made by the two companies by that time will be fulfilled by the Carnegie Steel company. Within the last ten days the sales agents' office in Cleveland of the Carnegie Steel company and the Illinois Steel company, with other offices of the kind, have been consolidated, with one agent in charge. The indications point strongly to the domination of the United States Steel corporation by the Carnegie influences. A WEST VIRGINIA AVALANCHE. A Young Woman Killed and Her Moth er Fatally Injured. Keyser, W. Va., June 19.—An avalanche unparalleled in the West Virginia mountains occurred Monday night at Hopeville, Grant county, 38 miles from here. Great sections of the mountain side along the Potomac river for two miles rushed down into the beautiful valley. Thousands of tons of forest trees, immense rocks and earth came down and the home of Mrs. Andrew Ours, a widow, was completely wrecked. The 22-year-old daughter of Mrs. Ours was instantly killed and Mrs. Ours is in a dying condition. A little grandchild who was spending the night with Mrs. Ours was grabbed by her when the first warning came, but escape was impossible, and when found yesterday the grandmother was buried to her waist in the debris, holding the child in her arms above the chilly mud and stone, in which she was fastened so tightly that after many efforts neighbors found it necessary to literally pull the bruised body out, leaving her clothes buried. The child only will recover. Miss Ours' body was recovered. Mine Workers in Convention Mine Workers in Convention. Pottasville, Pa., June 19.—A convention of the United Mine Workers of America of District No. $ was opened here yesterday, and is still in session. Over 128 locals, representing a membership of more than 40,000 miners, are represented at the convention. There were discussed at yesterday's sessions the restriction of the coal output of the district; inspection of employees' cards at the mines; the adoption of the flat rate of wages at some of the mines, otaking up the scale without percent age. Miss Emma Lamphere, of Galesburg, Ills., asked the support of the mine workers in securing for the retail clerks of the region shorter hours.

Milburn, representing Molineau, spoke nearly two hours, and was succeeded by former United States Senator David B. Hill, whose argument in opposition lasted until court arose at 2 o'clock. Mr. Hill will close today, and with a brief reply for the appellant the case will be submitted to the court. To Court Martial Navy Paymaster To Court Martial Navy Paymaster. Washington, June 19.—The secretary of the navy has appointed a court martial for the trial of Paymaster John R. Martin, U. S. N., on the charge of "scandalous conduct tending to the destruction of good morals." What Paymaster Martin actually did was to ad vance to himself and a brother officer certain small sums of money, due on account of his own salary. The government lost nothing by this transaction. Earl Russell Held For Bigamy. London, June 18.—Lord Russell was yesterday held in $10,000 bail upon the charge of bigamy preferred by the daughter of Lady Scott, from whom the earl claims he was divorced before he married Molly Cook at Denbrook, Nev., in 1900. Steel Trust Wants It All Cleveland, June 15.—The Leader says: "The United States Steel corporation and its allied interests are preparing to control its four big competitors and thereby lay the foundation for a monopoly of the steel industries in the United States. The purpose is to control the iron market when the dull season arrives, and by controlling the entire output possible ruinous competition will be avoided." INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Gives Out Affidavits Attacking Standard Oil. MR. MONNETT'S DENUNCIATION. Ohio's Former Attorney General Declares That the Company Notoriously Evades Payment of Just Taxes and Openly Violates the Law. Washington, June 19.—The industrial commission has received and will print as a part of its permanent report a number of affidavits making reply to the testimony of Mr. John D. Archbold, of the Standard Oil company, before the commission in 1899. These affidavits are by Hon. H. F. Monnett, former attorney general of Ohio, James L. Lee, of the Pure Oil company, M. L. Lockwood, and Charles B. Matthews, of Buffalo. Mr. Matthews' testimony relates to the operations of the Vacuum Oil company, which he seeks to demonstrate is a branch of the Standard Oil company. Mr. Lee says that it is not true that he ever admitted that the Pure Oil company is itself a trust, or that he attempted to sell any of his independent oil company interests to the Standard company. Mr. Lockwood submits affidavits to substantiate his statement before the commission to the effect that the Standard company was for a long time putting oil in tanks to be shipped to Germany for two cents a gallon, while people in Texas and Arkansas, where there was no competition, were paying 25 cents a gallon. Mr. Archbold had said there was not a word of truth in this statement. Mr. Monnett's statement is a general reply to Mr. Archbold's testimony so far as it applies to the operations of the Standard company in Ohio. He says that not only the Standard company, but other oil companies, like the Buckeye Pipe Line company, the Ohio Oil company and the Solar Refining company, connected with it, "have openly and notoriously violated their charter and have violated the statutes of the state, criminally and civilly, and are now so violating them, and did not dare to come into court and answer the charges of such violations." Mr. Monnett says that the influence of these companies defeated Joseph P. Bradbury for the supreme court of the state, because he was supposed to be antagonistic to them. He also charges that "they have openly and notoriously evaded the taxes due the state by making returns upon their property, in many instances estimated at less than 10 per cent of its real value, considering the earning capacity of the property." He asserts that the company has evaded instead of courting investigation of his bribery charges, and he adds: "Through their pipe line charges and by means of their monopoly in transportation the Standard Oil combinations continue their monopoly in handling oil in Ohio, as every consumer of oil in this state can verify by his pocketbook. They levy tribute upon the owner of the oil rock and exact from the consumer of the refined oil and its bi-products this unnatural profit. The public are its victims; the little band of law violators owning and controlling shares are the beneficiaries of the plunder. The public for a short time stand agast at their very boldness and defiance. The government alone can check their abuses." Five Hundred Lashes For a Liar. Camden, Ark., June 19.—Tom Watson, who with his wife swore that the negro Will Busey had committed an assault on Mrs. Watson, was taken out by a committee of citizens of Camden Monday night and given 500 lashes. The afdavit of Watson and his wife was the means of Busey having been sentenced to hang, but about three weeks ago Mrs. Watson confessed that she had sworn falsely against Busey. On learning this Governor Davis suspended the sentence imposed on Busey. Mrs. Watson said she was compelled by her husband to testify against Busey. At the conclusion of the lashing Watson was placed on a train and given instructions not to stop in Arkansas. Another New "Third Party." Kansas City. June 19.—Definite steps toward the organization of a new "third party," which is proposed to embrace Missouri and to form the neculus for a national growth, were taken yesterday in Kansas City at a conference of members of the Populist state committee and a few Silver Republicans. The movement is said to have the expressed sympathy, if not the avowed support of William J. Bryan, whom it is further hinted, is to be the new party's candidate for president in 1904.

TWO men stood on the primitive landing stage at Nuchuk, the little Alaskan settlement whose huts and cabin clustered round an indentation of Cook's iulet. A short distance out in the harbor the cargo steamer Yukon lay at anchor. "Well, what are you going to do about it?" said Markham, an elderly and experienced trader, who was the company's agent at Nuchuk. "You must decide quickly, for there ain't much time. Better stop over for the next boat. It's a rare chance, for you are sure to back back a totem bear—perhaps a couple of 'em." "And the risk of Indians? The tribes on the headwaters of the Copper river have a bad name." "They won't molest us," Markham replied, hurriedly. "Come, what do you say?" he added. "The Yukon sails within the hour." "Let her sail," exclaimed Quin, with sudden decision. "I don't go with her—I've chosen for the totem bear." Two days later Quin and Markham, with ten hired coast Indians, were traveling north. A journey of 120 miles through an unexplored region, attended with numerous difficulties and hardships, brought them to a good-sized tributary of the Copper river. Here they camped, and a fortnight was spent in constructing from felled trees, by the aid of what tools they had been able to transport, a long, narrow barge with a tiny cabin in the middle. This was completed one evening, and the next morning the Indians were missing to a man. The two voyagers embarked the following morning, and three days later, towards the close of the afternoon, they were drifting on the deep, rapid tide of the Copper river. "When are we going to tie up?" asked Quin. "Oh, any time you like. We had better slip on a mile or two, though." As Markham spoke his face brightened and his perplexed expression vanished. He stood in a listening attitude, gazing at a tall pinnacle or rock that had suddenly been revealed by a curve of the channel. From far down the river floated a dull, roaring noise. "There are rapids yonder," he added. "We'll lay up here for the night, and run them in the morning." He bent to the oar, and within five minutes the boat was alongside the right-hand shore, where it was made fast to the stump of a tree. It lay in deep, swift water, off the end of a promontory that jutted a dozen yards into the river. Immediately below was the mouth of a valley. "By heavens, look yonder!" exclaimed Markham. Glancing in line with his companion's outstretched arm, Quin beheld a huge animal standing 20 feet away at the edge of the timber. He had no need to ask what it was. He knew that he was in the presence of a totem bear—the first he had seen. For a brief instant, swinging its massive head, the brute surveyed the two men. Then, with a sudden growl, it turned and galloped clumsily into the forest. "I must have that bear!" cried Quin. "It's a pity to shoot him, but I can't take him alive." When they had gone nearly a mile up the valley the big footprints seemed to suddenly disappear. They pushed on for 100 yards, then stopped. Night was close at hand, and the forest was as dim as twilight. "We've lost the brute!" exclaimed Quin. "Yes, he must have turned off the path," said Markham. "We'll go a little farther." They left the path, bore for a short distance to the left through the trees and emerged on a small clearing. They saw before them, standing darkly against the purple twilight, a low, square structure of logs. It resembled a hut, though it had neither door nor window, and on the top of it squatted a huge carved image—a totem bear. "There must be a village near by" whispered Quill. "This books like the brown chief. "That's what it is—a chief's grave," Markham replied, eagerly. "I'm in luck to find the spot again." "What are you doing?" exclaimed Quin, as his companion ellimbed to the top of the structure. "Come down. Don't desecrate the dead." "It's all right," was the reply. "There's something in here I want—" As he spoke his weight caused the grave to suddenly collapse, and with a crash logs and toppen fell in a sprawling ruin, a quick leap saving Markham from injury. He landed on his feet and uttered a sharp cry of alarm. A great dusky animal, erect on his hind legs, was shuffling towards the two men. It was the tootem he heard they had tracked. Markham's rifle flew to his shoulder, but with marvelous rapidity, with a rasping growl of rage, the beast struck the weapon a blow that snapped it in two. Markham sprang back, and the next instant the loud report of Quin's rifle was heard. Hit in a vital part, the monstrous bear came heavily to earth, gave a few convulsive struggles and lay still. "You've done it," said Markham, "and there will be the devil to pay now! Listen!" "Indians!" exclaimed Quin. "Yes; you've stirred up the village—it's just over yonder. Heaven help us if we are caught!" "We must cut and run for it!" "Yes! But wait one moment." With that Markham plunged into the ruins of the grave, piled the logs this way and that, and quickly emerged with a heavy canvas bag a foot and a half long in his two hands. "Gold! gold!" he cried, breathlessly. "I'll explain later." By good luck they struck the path, and by what little light was left they were able to follow it. It was a race for life, and the odds were with the pursuers. The Indians gained steadily, "Give them a shot if you can," gasped Markham. Quin turned and fired, aiming at a dark object. A yell of agony echoed through the forest. From close in the rear they heard the crashing undergrowth, a blood-curdling snarl, and then the quick, muffled patter of heavy feet. "It's another bear—the mate to the "I MUST HAVE THAT BEAR," CRIED QUINN. dead one!" exclaimed Markham. "Shoot it!" But as Quin turned with that intention he tripped over the bole of a tree and the rile flew out of his hands. He groped after it vainly for a few seconds—he dared not pause longer—and then he rose and overtook his companion, to whom he related his loss. The bear was in hot pursuit, growling with fury. "Drop the gold, you idiot!" shouted Quin. "Never! I'll save it or die!" But they were nearer to the river than they supposed, and a moment later they burst out of the forest and ran to the end of the spit of land. Side by side they leaped aboard the boat, Markham dropping the bag of gold with a crash, while Quin instantly severed the mooring rope with a stroke of his knife. But the bear was at their heels, and without hesitation, just as the craft swung off the shore, the angry animal sprang in at the stern. He made a rush for the two men, who barely in time escaped to the cabin and closed and barred the door. "We're lost!" cried Markham. "We have no firearms, and it's sure death to try to get to the sweep. The falls are just below—the worst in all Alaska—and they'll smash us to bits." "You seem to know a lot about it," said Quin, hoarsely. "Man, you have deceived me." "I have," admitted the wretched trader. "But I meant it for the best. I was up here four years ago after gold, and when the Indians got after us we hid the stuff that grave. My two comrades were killed and I had a narrow squeak of myself. That's why I wanted to come back—to recover the bag of gold. I intended to divide with you, but I was afraid that if I told you before we started—" Of what happened next Quin retained afterward only a blurred recollection, but by clinging to a part of the cabin he survived the peril of wave and reef, and finally floated ashore in a greatly exhausted state several miles below the scene of the disaster. The gold was at the bottom of the river, and both the bear and Markham had been drowned—there was no doubt of that. Quin spent a day in searching vainly for the trader's body, and then, having started on foot toward the coast, he found an Indian canoe. In this he paddled down the stream, subsisting on fruits and berries during the journey, and a week later he safely arrived at Nuchuk, little the worse for his terrible experience.—Boston Globe.

The woman belonged to the lower class. Her hands were unmanicured—very much so—and her fingers covered with rings. She was a large, aggressive woman, who looked as if under all circumstances she could take care of herself. Unfortunately, such women do not limit themselves to getting merely their rights. They are apt to encroach upon the liberties of others. This, at any rate, is a car practice, and the woman, like other men and women of better breeding, was sitting sideways on the seat and monopolizing at least a seat and a half. She was sitting in this way when a gentleman entered the car. He was a gentleman, and entered quietly, walked up the car quietly, and took a seat which chanced to be beside the woman. But carefully as he took his seat he accidentally touched the woman on the shoulder. She turned upon him like a tiger. "Do you mean to kill me?" she cried, savagely. He lifted his hat and answered in a courteous tone while the passengers who had seen the incident listened eagerly. "It would give me great pleasure to go to your funeral, madame, for then there would be one less rude woman in the world."—N. Y. Times. Young at a Hundred If the present increase of the average of man continues, we will be in our youth when we are a hundred years old. We who are now living will not realize this condition unless we experience another incarnation or two, but when the time for it comes—under the conditional "if"—there will likely be mortals enough on earth with hopes, fears, trials, tribulations, pains and pleasures, the same as we have. The thought of centuries staggers us, and millenniums are beyond our comprehension, but little things like these do not bother nature, with whom a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day. And she does not consider whether she is dealing with us, with the people of thousands of years ago, or with those who will be here in a thousand years from now. The average age of man has been increased seven and a half years in the last century, and at that rate the average length of human life will be about 110 years in ten centuries.—N. Y. Herald. The Appeal to the Record Little Tommy returned, sore and trembling, from the torture room. "Doesn't your papa ever thrash you?" he asked his chum, who is the son of a cabinet minister. "I should say not!" replied the other loftily. "Every time he threatens to cane me I read him an extract from his great peace-at-any-piece speech in which he said: 'These barbarians are like wayward children; but have we, on that account, theright to take away their heaven-sent privilege to do as they please? Let us treat them as we would our own wayward children—plead with them, beseech them, but never coerce them with either gun or rod.'" "That's a good deal to remember," remarked Tommy. "Yes; but now he's got so used to it that he drops the cane as soon as I start."—London Answers. Soup in French Schools.

By some strange coincidence the ball rolled up one side of the roof and down the other, finally lodging behind the chimney.

Sitting astride the ridge pole the player leaned out and with careful aim drove the ball from its hiding place. By strange good luck the ball rolled to the hole aimed at, many yards distant. Cheers were given him by a small crowd which had gathered.—N. Y. Herald.

London June 19. Ex-Govern Legend of a Spring. Swimming about in a large marble lined tank in a small church just outside Constantinople are to be seen a number of fishes, orown on one side and white on the other. These, it is said, are the descendants of the ones that gave the name "Balukil" (place of fishes) to the church. The legend runs as follows: At the time of the invasion of Constantinople by the Turks a monk was cooking fish near a spring of water, where the little church now stands, when a messenger rode up in haste, announcing: "The city is taken!" Discrediting the story, the monk declared he would sooner believe that the half cooked fish before him would jump back into the water. As he spoke the fish, so the story goes, did actually leap from the pan into the spring. Ever since that time the waters have been regarded as curative, and once every year pilgrimages are made to it by sufferers from various ailments.—N. Y. Tribune.

I asked why. He said the wind was coming up fast enough as it was, and if I kept on whistling it would be fetching a gale about their ears. Afterward I learned that it is permissible to whistle during a calm, and, indeed, I have known captains and mates to turn toward the quarter from which they wished the wind to spring and whistle for some minutes; but it is against all custom to whistle when the wind is rising, for that is notice to Davy Jones that you want more, and he may turn on a hurricane. -Lippincott's Magazine. Fowling Cliffs of the Faroe Islands Fowling cliffs of the Faroes. The Faroe islands are remarkable for the immense numbers of birds that frequent them, and which furnish an important supply of feathers to commerce. The most valuable of these birds for its feathers is the puffin, about 100,000 of which are caught annually. Perpendicular cliffs of rock, facing westward, are known as fowling cliffs, because of the birds that cover their shelves. During part of the summer the birds are so numerous around the cliffs that they are said to resemble a thick snowstorm. Very few birds are found about cliffs that do not have a western exposure.—Youth's Companion. The Nineteenth Century's Comets. During the nineteenth century 233 new comets were discovered, as against 62 in the eighteenth century. The nineteenth century also beheld a greater number of large and brilliant comets than did its predecessor. The finest of these were the comets of 1811, 1843, 1858, 1881 and 1882. In the year 1800 only one periodical comet was known, Halley's; now many are known, of which at least 17 have been seen at more than one return to perihelion.-Science.

Ex-Governor Pingree, of Michigan, Passed Away in London. HIS SON WITH HIM AT THE END. Mrs. Pingree, Who Was About to Sail From New York For Europe, Will Now Await the Home Coming of Her Husband's Body. London, June 19.—Ex-Governor Hazen S. Pingree, of Michigan, died here last night at 11:35. His son was the only one present at the time. The attending doctor left Mr. Pingree's bedside at about 11:15, promising to return shortly. H. S. Pingree, Jr., who had been watching at his father's side for four days, and who had not removed his clothes during that time, noticed a sudden change in his father's condition. He had hardly reached the patient's bedside when his father died peacefully, without warning, and without speaking one word. Young Mr. Pingree has wired his mother and his THE LATE HAZEN S. PINGREE. uncle in the United States not to come to London. The body of the late Mr. Pingree will be embalmed and taken to his home. Mrs. Pingree was to have sailed from New York today. Towards the end of his illness Mr. Pingree suffered great pain, and weakened rapidly. He was unable to retain nourishment. His mind, however, remained fairly clear. During the whole of yesterday he was practically kept alive by injections of strychnine and drugs administered to lessen his pain. Mr. Pingree's Career. Hazen Senter Pingree was born at Denmark, Me., in 1840. In 1882 he enlisted in the First Massachusetts heavy artillery and served until the end of the war, when he located in Detroit, embarking in the manufacturing of shoes. In 1889 the Republican party nominated Mr. Pingree for mayor of Detroit, and he was elected by over 2,000 majority. He was re-elected in 1891-83-95, by increased majorities each time. In 1896 Mr. Pingree was selected as governor of Michigan by 83,000 plurality, running ahead of the national ticket by 26,000 votes. He was re-elected governor in 1898 by about 100,000 plurality and served out his term, which expired in 1900. Last March he started on the trip to South Africa which resulted in his death in London. Ex-Governor Pingree while he was mayor accomplished many municipal reforms, among others forcing the gas company to lower their rates 50 cents per thousand; establishing the public lighting plant; organizing the Detroit railway on a three cent fare basis; lowering telephone rates and breaking up a number of sewer and paving rings that were thriving when he came into office. His potato patch scheme for the relief of the poor of the city was extensively copied and brought him much fame. While governor Mr. Pingree devoted his energies toward securing the passage of a law taxing railroads and other corporate property on an advalence basis instead of specifically on their earnings. His efforts resulted in the passage of a law along these lines by the last legislature. Mr. Pingree is survived by a widow and two children, a son and a daughter. Workmen Held Prisoners. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 19.—Anthony Ross, who says he escaped from the Lehigh Valley railroad shops here Monday night through a window, declares that he was detained there against his will. He says he came from Savannah, Ga., and did not discover the shops were on strike until he was put in a striker's place. He wanted to leave, but detectives on guard would not let him. He was kept there and guarded closely until he escaped. He says there are others in the same plight. The strikers have asked the sheriff to investigate. Charged With Triple Murder. Watseka. Ills. June 19—Bert A. Maggee was placed in the county jail yesterday, charged with murdering his wife, his 6-year-old child and his wife's mother, Mrs. Mary J. Hershberger, the morning of May 28. The accused was the only living witness of a fire in which the three victims perished. The fact that he escaped with all his clothing, and that he was the beneficiary of $2,000 insurance upon his wife's life, led to his arrest. Big Fight Against One Non-Unionist. Willkesbarre, Pa. June 19—Two of the collieries of the Temple Coal and iron company are on strike because a non-union carpenter is employed in the Forty-Fort, and as he refuses to join the union and as the company will not discharge him the union is going to make a fight. A meeting of men from all the seven collieries of the company is called, and it is expected that 4,000 men will go on strike. --- American Yacht For German Emperor. Washington, June 19. — The emperor of Germany has ordered a schooner yacht to be designed and built in the United States.

Of “The Second Bungle Book” the sale there had been 8,000 and here 64,000. A still greater Miscrepancy is to be noted in the gase of “Captains Céurageous,” of which the English market absorbed waly 27,000 copies and the American ‘82,000. But then this is an American wtory. It is estimated that the Eng- Bah sale of Kipling'’s works has ag- Bregated 500,000.

They Fired on a Constable's Posey, Killing Two White Men. Killing Two White Men. Ebylanua, Ga., June 15—Arnold Augustus, Andrew Davis, Richard Sanders, William Hudson and Sampel Baldwin, all negroes, were executed in the yard of the county jail of Screven county yesterday afternoon. The necks of four were broken by the fall. The fifth died from strangulation. The negroes bore up well. They sang at the fall and then marched between a squad of soldiers to the scaffold. Here they made a short talk and received spiritual consolation. The crime for which the men were hanged occurred last August. It originated in a quarrel between a young negro named Alexander and two young white men, Filmore Herrington and Milton Mears, respecting the right of way on a country highway, and Alexander made threats against the lives of the white men. Alexander, it seems, belonged to an organization of negroes known as "Knights of the Archer." It was alleged, but not provided, that this was an oathbound organization for mutual defense among the negroes, even to the extent of killing white men who interfered with negroes. A day or two after the quarrel in the road Herrington and Mears awore out warrants against Alexander for threatening their lives. Mears, being a constable, headed a party consisting of himself, Herrington, Capt. J. T. Wade and George Daniel, to effect the arrest of Alexander. As the four white men approached Alexander's house they were fired upon from ambush by apparently a dozen guns and rifles. Constable Mears fell dead in his tracks. Herrington, mortally wounded, crawled a hundred yards and died. Daniel was wounded, and made his escape. Upon the trial the five named admitted they were in the ambushing party, but claimed they were forced into it by others under threats of death. GENERAL SOUTHERN NEWS. Savannah, Ga., June 13.—News was received here last night from Gainesville, Fla., through railroad sources that have always been found reliable, to the effect that oil has been struck in considerable quantities near Dunelon, in Marion county, Fla. The strike Athens, Ala., June 17.—Joe Harris, a negro, was hanged by a mob in the northern part of this (Limestone) county Saturday night. He was suspected of burning the barn of the farmer for whom he worked, his grievance being against a fellow farmer who had stock housed in the barn. Mobile, Ala., June 18.—In the United States court yesterday Capt. Cyril W. King, former construction quartermaster, U. S. A., at Fort Morgan, Ala., was sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for one year and a half and to pay a fine of $3,000. He gave notice of appeal and made the required bond of $10,000. King was convicted of receiving a bribe with intent to influence his official conduct. Americus, Ga., June 15.—The grand jury of Sumter county has indicted J. A. Reid, A. E. Reid and J. B. Setter for false imprisonment and for unlawfully preventing laborers from remaining in their lawful employment." It is alleged that these, with others, took Chris Bolch and John Smith, two men who had taken the places of striking machinists in the Seaboard Air Line shops, out into the woods and threaten their lives if they did not give up their jobs. Covington, Ky., June 14—The machinists' union, of this city yesterday sent a letter to Governor Beckham, in which they appeal for an investigation of the action of Prof. J. P. Anderson, of the Kentucky State college, who they claim, is sending students from the mechanical department of that college to Cincinnati to take the places of the striking machinists. The strike are expect Governor Beckham will investigate the matter and have the students recalled. Newport News, Va., June 13.—The strike situation in Newport News has reached a critical stage. In addition to the striking machinists, about 500 in number, 200 skilled men from the electrical, plumbing and pipe fitting departments were laid off Tuesday, and yesterday 150 more, chiefly laborers, were laid off. It is stated that other departments will be laid off as rapidly as they finish their work ahead of the machinists. As the city is largely dependent upon the 7,000 men at the ward the feeling in business circles is uncomfortable. Dothan, Ala., June 18.—Prof. W. A. Rankin, until Saturday assistant to the principal of the Dothan public schools, yesterday shot and killed George R. McNeill, principal of the schools, and then turned the revolver upon himself, with fatal effect. Prof. Rankin was one of Principal McNeill's assistants last year, but on Saturday night, when a new faculty was elected, Prof. Rankin was dropped from the list. Prof. Rankin tried to have the matter reopened, but without success. Prof. McNeill leaves a wife and three children. Memphis, June 17.—Gen. William Montgomery Gardner, a veteran of the Mexican and civil wars, died here last night, aged 78 years. He was a native of Augusta, Ga., and was graduated from the military academy at West Point in the class of 1846. In the battle of Contrecas, in Mexico, Aug. 26, 1847, young Gardner, then a leuconant stormed a battery of 12-pound rs, casemated, with a single platoon of American soldiers, taking the guns and winning the plaudits of McClellan, Beauregard and other officers. In the war between the states Gen. Gardner became colonel of the Eighth Georgia regiment DR. KENNEDY RELEASED. Alleged Murderer of Dolly Reynolds Out on $10,000 Bail New York, June 19.—Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy was released under $10,000 ball yesterday afternoon. When Judge Newburger took his place on the bench District Attorney Philbin suggested that Dr. Kennedy be admitted to $10,000 ball. Mr Moore said that he thought the indictment ought to be quashed, but Judge Newburger said a motion to that effect would have to be made in court. Mr. Moore then consented to the fixing of the ball at $10,000 and Judge Newburger issued an order to that effect. The wife of Lieutenant E. Hand, a retired naval officer, offered the ball. Dr. Kennedy and Mr. Moore walk tightly through the streets about men and boys joined in "three heers for Kennedy," and made the re- sponse, "He's all right," to the question, "What's the matter with Moore?" Mrs. Kennedy was waiting for her husband in Mr. Moore's office, with her father and mother and several friends. As the doctor entered the office his wife stretched out her hands to him, and with a sob in her voice said: "How do you feel, Sam?" "I haven't begun to feel yet," replied Dr. Kennedy, looking tenderly at the wife, his voice trembling and tears standing in his eyes. Dr. Kennedy remained in the offices of his lawyers for nearly an hour be- fore going to the ferry on his way to his home in New Dorp, Staten Island, which he had not seen for 34 months. At his home there was a great public demonstration and general illumination last night, with speeches and fire- works. GRISCOM MINISTER TO PERSIA. Minister F. B. Loomis Transferred From Venezuela to Portugal Washington, June 18.—The following changes in diplomatic posts were announced yesterday: Lloyd C. Griscom, of Pennsylvania, present first secretary of the legation at, Constantinople, has been made minister to Persia; Francis B. Loomia, minister to Venezuela, has been transferred to Portugal, vice John S. Irwin, of Iowa, resigned; Herbert W. Bowen, of New JOHN H. LLOYD C. GRIEBCOM York, present minister to Persia, has been transferred to Caracas, succeeding Mr. Loomis as minister to Venezuela; Spencer F.

By his transfer from Venezuela to Portugal Minister Loomis loses $2,500 a year. Accused Captains Out on Ball. New York, June 19.—Captain Sylvester C. Griffin, of the ferryboat Mauch Chunk, and Abraham Johnson, the pilot of the wrecked ferryboat Northfield, were held by Coroner Zucca in $2,500 ball yesterday pending the inquest into the wrecking of the Northfield on Friday night. The men were held on an affidavit sworn to by a policeman, charging them with being responsible for the deaths of Jere V. Wright, of Tompkinsville, and Juan Aboy, of Richmond Road, whose bodies were taken from the wreck. The inquest was set by Coroner Zucca for July 8. Both men furnished bonds. Faithfulness The difficulty of losing a cat has become proverbial, and the statement that "the cat came back" arouses no wonder among those familiar with the habits of the feline creation. Frank Howard, a young New Hampshire man, living at New Hampton, was married recently, and decided it would be a good thing to have a cat in the new home he and his bride had selected in the town of Stratham, 100 miles away. So when the day for moving arrived, there was placed in the car with the furniture and other good the household cat, an Angora, which upon arrival at Stratham was quickly released. She soon disappeared and was seen no more. In about a week Mr. Howard received a letter from his mother in New Hampton, saying that the cat had returned to her old home, the date of her arrival being three days after her disappearance from Stratham. The cause of the cat's long journey was revealed when she sought out a family of kittens, of whose existence the Howard family were in ignorance. She was seen carrying them, one at a time, from one barn to another near-by, and was permitted to remain undisturbed at the old homestead—Golden Days. Tree That Fixes Succ Sends RICHMOND PLANET.

All of these plants have failed except one, which, it is now believed, will be quite effective in keeping the sand in place. This large plant is the casuarina tree. It thrives in Egypt and grows well on the sand-banks that skirt the Suez canal. It not only survives intense drought, but also excessive humidity, which is important, as the northern part of the canal is subject to inundations at some periods and droughts at other seasons of the year. The roots of this tree penetrate the sand so deeply that they tap subterranean sources of water. Many of the trees planted 25 years ago have thrived so well in their new habitat that they are now over 40 feet in height. All who have studied the problem of sand fixation are certain that this tree will offer important resistance to the movement of sand along the canal. Steps are being taken to plant it extensively.—N.

King of all Hair Tonics. "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners on the market, and knowing to a certain 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 hire, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair 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, which are filled with colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with colored 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.
