THE CONSTITUTIONAL
DOWN T
The Constitutional Convention met Thursday, 20th inst at noon. The discussion of the proposition to adjourn to a summer resort resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the proposition.
President Goode announced the eight pages provided for by the report of the Committee on Organization. The following lads were named:
Tidewater—Emmett E. Faison.
Southside—William Norfleet.
Piedmont—George Jordan.
Southwest—Olin Richardson.
Valley—Gibson Roy Worthen.
Richmond—John C. Goode and William P. Merrill.
Recommended by the minority—Binen E. Walker.
Judge Marshall submitted a supplemental report from the Committee on Rules, which expressly stated that the convention should meet every day at moon, until especially ordered otherwise. The additional report was adopted.
ONLY FOR THE WHITE RACE
Judge Harrison of Winechester, offered the following significant resolution: Resolved 1, That universal suffrage has been in the past safely and successfully entrusted to the white race.
The honest white man, whether unlettered or without property, ought not to be deprived of the right of suffrage, which he has used for the good of the State, and which it is essential for him to have to preserve the equilibrium of society, so that there may be no favored class or caste.
Resolved 2. That it is not race prejudice, but actual experience and observation in this and other Southern states which suffrage has been attended with great evils to the body politic and to both races.
GRIEVOUS CHARGES.
Whenever the Negro has obtained control of the government, or exercised a potential influence therein, intolerable misgovernment has been the result. Even where the Negro vote has been no more than an inconsiderable factor, corruption and demoralization, and ant, and education of the Negro has done nothing to improve this condition.
ATTACKS THE 15TH ANENDMENT.
[Resolved 8.] That the 15th Amendment of the United States Constitution is wrong in that it proceeds upon the theory that the two places are equally competent of free government. This theory is contradicted not only by the experience of the South, but by the history of the two races, since the dawn of history. The convention therefore ought to inaugurate through the proper channels to propose steps to its repeal or amendment so that each State may control its suffrage, as its best interests demand.
A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE.
Resolved 4. That it is not the purpose of the state to deny to the Negro any civil right, nor to disfranchise any negro who has sufficient freehold estate to give him a permanent and sub stantial interest in the welfare of the state, nor, if any discrimination is made against him in the right of suffrage, to claim any representation in Congress or the Electoral College, based upon Negro population, but ipso facto, to surrender it until Congress shall declare what additional representation shall be given to the extent suffrage is given to the Negro. The resolutions were duly referred.
TO REPEAL THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
Mr. Thom introduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee to prepare and issue to the people of the United States an address asking for a repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This was referred to the Committee on suffrage. The convention then adjourned until 12 m. Friday. The Constitutional Convention convened Friday, 21st inst at noon. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. J. B Hawthorne. After the approval of the journal, the committees were appointed by President Goode:
THE OATH QUESTION.
Mr. Thom, of Norfolk, who offered the original resolution providing for
the members to take oath prescribed by the Constitution, stated that in the event of the matter being taken from the table he would offer a substitute that the question be referred to a committee to report back the result of their deliberation. Mr. Braxton was recognized and spoke at some length against the wisdom and justice of requiring the members of the convention to take an oath. Mr. Braxton endeavored at the outset to show that the danger indicated on the first day of the convention that if the oath were not taken the acts of the body would be void, would not be encountered. He cited a number of rulings of the United States Supreme Court to show that members of such a body as this were not officers of the State in which they were meeting. He said it was his hope to convince his friends on the other side that it was not necessary to take the oath, and thus the matter be disposed of forever.
POINTS CF ORDER.
Members made points of order that Mr. Braxton was discussing the merits of the matter and not the advisability of taking it from the table. Mr. Anderson, who was in the chair, ruled that while parliamentary practice admitted of a discussion of the sort which Mr. Braxton had undertaken, he thought it would be better that the body vote upon the motion to take the matter from the table. Then, if the motion prevailed, the discussion could be continued. With the permission of the body, the vote was put, and the motion ignominiously lost. The committee on printing recommended the employment of stenographer at $1870, per month, and that the Richmond, Va. DISPATCH be furnished the stenographic reports exclusively. The aforesaid reports to be published in that journal and 200 copies furnished the convention free of charge. The report was adopted.
THE TERM OF OFFCIR
Mr. Keezell offered a resolution that the committee on organization and government be instructed to take up and consider the arranging of the term of office, and the time of elections of all county and district officers, so that provide the fewest numbers of elections. Judge Quarles offered a resolution to consider the propriety of enacting a provision requiring the legislature to enact a primary election law by which candidates for all state, county, city and district offices, be filled by people. Also a proposition to elect all judges by popular vote and the organization of the Supreme Court of Appeals so that the thereof will be elected from districts and by the direct vote of the people.
Mr. Eggleston offered a resolution abolishing the county courts and also the circuit courts of the cities and the transfer of one of the courses of Richmond of the jurisdiction of circuit court of said city in matters in which the State's interests are involved and in the trial of convicts in the penitentiary. To re establish circuit courts with a combined civil and criminal jurisdiction to hold at least four terms of the court annually in each county, the counties to be divided in not less than twenty nor more than twenty-five circuit courts. To consolidate the offices of county and circuit clerks and investing said clerks with jurisdiction in matters of probate of wills, appointment of judiciaries, settlement of expatriate accounts, etc. Mr. Stebbins offered a resolution to punish for bribery in elections.
ONLY WHITES HOLD OFFICE.
Mr. Lincoln offered a resolution to establish a State Board of Charities to have charge of the various institutions also the following:
Be it ordained that all white persons entitled to vote and no others shall be eligible to any office under the Constitution and laws of Virginia, except as restricted in the Constitution.
Mr. Waddill offered resolutions providing for the division of the state into judicial districts with a judge for for each and specifying when and how often the court shall meet.
Mr. Stebbins offered a resolution that no member of the General assembly during the time for which he shall have been elected shall be appointed or elected by the Governor, or by the General Assembly or by either branch thereof to any civil office of profit under the commonwealth except offices filled by election by the people.
Captain Parks offered a resolution to bring about a lessening of the expense of the present jury system.
Mr. Lindsey wanted the auditors of the southern states to advise the body of the costs of conducting their various departments and the amounts of annual salary paid the heads of those departments.
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY. JUNE 29, 1901.
FIFTH ST. CHURCH IN HER
GLORY.
Last Sunday was a day long to be remembered at the Fifth Street Baptist Church.
The services began at 10.30 a.m. Long before that hour, throngs of people crowded from every direction there were 206 candidates for baptism, of which number 164 presented themselves last Sunday morning. These were baptised including 2 more from St. Phillip's Baptist Church, in 65 minutes.
Dr. R. H. Bowling of Norfolk, preached the baptismal sermon taking his text from the last page of the 28th chapter of Matthew. Facing an audience of 2000 people the Doctrine proceeded in a most learned, gifted, but heart-touching way to preach one of the ablest sermons ever preached by mortal man, upon the question of baptism. From the beginning to the end, the vast audience was held spell-bound.
Before the sermon, it was a beautiful sight to see Dr. Grasham, followed by his deacons, march from the basement up to the audience room, followed by 166 candidates, all dressed in white for the sainted rite.
In the afternoon was communion hour, at which time, Rev. W. H. Stokes, B. D., delivered an able, practical and soul-stirring charge to the new members. His remarks meet the approval of the entire church. Then followed another beautiful sight, when 164 candidates stood face to face on either side of the central aisle, right and left, facing the pulpit and half way down on one side of the outer aisle of the church.
At least 1200 people took communion upon this occasion. At night, there was another great concourse of people and many waiting to hear Rev. D. W. Davis A., and they did hear from him. The Reverend proceeded to preach from the 100th Psalm, 22nd verse upon the subject, "The baskets of life."
It was declared by all who heard Rev. Davis that the sermon was one of the best ever ever preached in a Richmond pulpit. He was logical, forceful, eloquent, clear and precise in the proclamation of his message, touching and feeling in his applications. The great congregation showed their approval by their warm responses and Amens. Richmond now feels preacher of Rev. Davis as a preacher than ever before, not because of any small estimation of him in the past as an able preacher, but because of the wonderful development he seems to be making in every school of Baptists. Fifth St. Baptist Church is satisfied with her day's work. The crewing act of beauty was made when Mrs. Virgil Hawkins made her report before the great congregation of her attendance as a delegate to the Woman's Baptist Educational Convention which met last week in Lynchburg.
The Failure of the Banking Co.—Lawyer Jackson's Call.
The filing of the bill in the Chancery Court, announcing the failure of the United Banking and Trust Company of this city was a great surprise to the stock-holders and depositors of the company; a number of them have employed Messra. Giles B. Jackson and John A. Lamb, son of Congressman Lamb to represent their interest. On Tuesday, Judge Lamb ordered, the receivers now having charge of the books and papers of the company to allow the committee of lawyers, consisting of Messra, Jackson, Lamb and Anderson to examine the books of the company so as to ascertain the exact status of affairs on behalf of the depositors and stockholders.
It is rumored that affairs are in a very bad shape for the depositors and stockholders which are composed large ly of colored people.
It is announced that there will be a meeting of all the stockholders and depositors at the office of Giles B. Jackson, No. 812 E. Broad street, in the old Planet Building, at 7 o'clock Saturday evening, the 29th, at which time they expect to hear startling reports as a result of the investigation by the lawyers. The case will be called again in the Chancery Court before Judge Lamb, Monday morning, July the 1st.
The Richmond Normal School Association will hold its regular meeting at the Y. M. C. A. building, Tuesday evening, at 5:30. All members are urged to attend. W. W. Davis lectured before the Teachers' Institute at Petersburg, last Friday. All expressed themselves as delighted.
A great day is approaching for the Knights of Fythias, Sir knights all over the state are making great preparation to attend the unveiling of Col. Thos. W. Mitchell's monument which will take place Aug. 26th at Richmond. There is expected to be one of the greatest monuments that ever marched under military honors in the state of Virginia:

Double Lynching in Louisiana.
Two of the Colored People Charged With Complicity in Foster & Murder Hanged.
SHREVEPORT, LA., June 19.
Frank better known as "Prophet" Smith, and F. D. McLend, held at Ben ton for complicity in the murder of John Gray Foster, were taken out by a mob to night, and strang up to a tree. They were left dangling side by side. The lynching occurred on the Akan road, about one mile and a half from the jail. Both colored men made statements before death denying that they had anything to do with the killing. Smith, who was the head of what is called the "Church of God," and who was blamed for being responsible for the sentiment against the whites which led to the death of Foster, died praying. McLend was silent as he was swung up. As Smith was being led from the jail prior to the execution, he was heard to say: "Lord, You promised to be with me now."
There were about 2 armed men in the mob and they overpowered the Sheriff and jailer taking the keys away from them. The lynchers aimed that the execution of these colored men was necessary to the preservation of the lives of white men in this locality.

The Murder of Gaines
A shocking tragedy occurred in New York city, Thursday. 18th inst at 9 p.m. It seems that Mrs. Rebecca Jackson, better known as "Ducks" was drinking with Ulysses Gaines at 218 W. 64th street when William Gonners, an admirer came in and upbraided her for her flakiness. Words passed and Connors went out, returning later with a revolver, with which he shot "Ducks" Jackson in the neck. Gaines interfered and Connors fired upon him, the ball entering the head at the temple, killing him instantly. The murderer escaped to the street, but was captured after an exciting chase. Both of the men were sleeping carelessly. "Ducks" Robinson and Gaines were former residents of this city and the affair creased a profound sensation. The remains were brought to this city and interred, Funeral Director, J. A & C. J. Cook officiating. Mrs. Jackson is at the house of detention, being held as a witness.

A WEST VIRGINIA FLOOD
Swept With Terrible Fury Through the Mining District.
FIFTY TO SIXTY LIVES LOST.
Only Ten or Fifteen People Drowned and Forty Houses Washed Away at Keystone—Terrible Experience of the Vandyke Family.
Roanoke, Va., June 26.—Persons coming from the flood stricken district in West Virginia place the number of drowned at 50 to 60 persons, but have no definite or detailed information on which to base the estimate.
A gentleman arriving in this city from the stricken section gives an explanation for the report first circulated that great masses of human bodies were seen floating around in the water that there is a graveyard between North Fork Junction and Keystone, which towns are about a mile apart, and at which point the storm was very severe. This graveyard is near the bank of the river. When the flood came the graves gave up their dead and added greatly to the number of bodies seen.
J. B. Frances, a Roanoke man, who is in Keystone installing a water plant, and who was first reported dead, has written his wife telling her he is safe and sound. He has the following to say about the disaster:
"A big flood vaulted the town last Friday night. Everybody had to go up on the mountain. Men, women and children were drowned in the streets and houses went floating down the streams with people in them. All our crowd are safe. We are entirely cut off from the outside world and provisions are getting short. There is now no water in our town."
Another letter from Keystone says between 10 and 15 people were drowned and 40 houses washed away at that place. The people are hard at work clearing up the town and repairing damaged buildings.
The report received here that the father, mother, one sister, two brothers and a sister-in-law, with two children, of J. W. Crottey, of the Norfolk and Western railroad, were drowned was a mistake. Mr. Crotty is now in the coal fields and telegraphed today that they were all safe.
Tazewell, Va., also suffered from the cloudburst. The house of Paris Vandyke, four miles west of Tazewell, in a gorge of the mountain, was washed away. Vandyke heard the roar of water and started home from the field. When a short distance from the house he saw the water rushing down the mountain sides, tearing up and twisting off giant trees as if shrubs, the water leaping 40 feet high and traveling with frightful speed. Vandyke rushed for the house to warn his family, but the water overtook him and swept the house and all its inmates away. Two children, 5 and 7 years old, were instantly killed, their brains being dashed out against the rocks and timbers. The bodies were washed to lowlands. A little girl holding a young sister in her arms, was carried 200 yards. Another member of the family died Monday afternoon, and Mr. Vandyke is still unconscious and cannot live.
At Cedar Bluff, 16 miles west of Tazewell, 17 dwellings were swept away, but no lives were lost.
At Pounding Mill Mr. Tate, Mrs. Hoops and two children were lost. Knobe, a small town seven miles west was almost completely destroyed. Ravens, two miles west, was badly damaged, and many business houses destroyed. The damage to country roads will not be less than $50,000.
The Norfolk and Western Railway company will lose, at a conservative estimate, $1,500,000, not taking into consideration the delay to traffic, etc. Their double track is practically washed away for a distance of six miles, and at least 3,500 men are at work day and night repairing roadbed and removing drift. The loss to the coal operators will reach about $400,000, outside of the delay at the mines in loading, etc. The property loss by private parties is very heavy and cannot be estimated at this time. It is thought it will reach the million dollar mark.
A New Champion Woman Golfer.
New York, June 26.—In the class A team championship series yesterday of the Women's Metropolitan Golf association the golfing sensation was the defeat of Miss Beatrix Hoyt, the amateur champion of 1896, 1897 and 1898, who was deemed invincible on her home links, by Miss Marlon Oliver, the girl who last week cut the record at the Nassau links to 91.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1901
Much comment was caused about
two years ago by the announcement
that the Grand Lodge of Masons of the
state of WASHINGTON had passed a res
lation recognizing the colored Grand
Lodge of Masons.
The white Masons of the several southern states withdrew the hand of fellowship from the state on this account and was the subject of bitter controversy. It is now announced that the Grand Lodge of Washington has rescinded the resolution, and now no colored Grand Lodge of Masons is recognized. Truly is prejudice stalking broadcast in the land.
THE LAW AND THE CONVENTION.
We directed attention in our last issue to the fact that the present Constitutional Convention has no power to abolish the present constitution into-to, except by the authority and direction of the Congress of the United States. It can only revise and amend the present constitution and is accordingly bound and restricted by its provisions.
The Code of Virginia, Page 32 reads as follows:
"And whereas the congress of the United States did, by an act passed on the second day of March, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, and entitled 'an act to provide for the more efficient government of the rebel states,' and by acts supplementary thereto, passed on the twenty-third day of March, and the nineteenth day of July, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, provide for the election by the people of Virginia, qualified to vote for the provisions of said acts, of delegates in convention or frame a constitution or form of government for Virginia, in conformity with said acts; and by the act did further provide for the submission of such constitution to the qualified voters for ratification or rejection.
"We, therefore, the delegates of the good people of Virginia, ected, and in convention assembled, in pursuance of said acts, invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God, do propose to the people, the following constitution and form of government for the commonwealth"
Congress granted the authority in this case, and the constitution was submitted to the people for ratification. It is now proposed to submit the revised and amended constitution to on y those who are entitled to vote under its provisions.
It would be a grievous wrong, and we cannot see wherein it would be legal.
There is a provision in the Bill of Rights of Virginia, which appeals strongly and unceasingly to every citizen in the commonwealth, rich or poor. It is as follows:
"That all elections ought to be free, and that all men, having sufficient evidence of permanent interests with, and attachment to, the community, have the right of suffrage, and cannot be taxed or deprived of their property for public uses, without their own consent, or that of their representatives so elected, not bound by any law to which they have not in like manner asserted, for the public good."
This is strong language, giving out vital truths. Under it, how can the
citizen of color be, taxed with out his consent? How can he be bound by a constitution to which he has not assented, and to which he has not been permitted to assent for the public good?
This then is one of the provisions which the Negro, haterz desire stricken out. And even though they succeed, what will they do with the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States? It 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."
And what will they do with the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which declares:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state where in they reside.
"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws?"
Every member of that Constitution al Convention is bound by these provisions. No citizen can legally hold an office from the position of magistrate to Governor of a state or from that of a clerk in a court to that of President of the United States unless he takes an oath to maintain and support the Constitution and laws of the United States.
The question is plain and the Constitutional Convention can suit itself in the matter.
The colored brother has many white friends in this state. If he were friendly to himself as some white people are to him it would be plain saying for him to the end of the chapter.
As the matter now stands,
'Hell may rage and vent her spite.
But God will save his heart's delight.'
TF O E LOUISIANA MURDERS.
LOUISIANA proclaimed to the world that it had disfranchised the Negro and accordingly all cause for race and antagonism had been removed. It seems that at FOSTER, a flag station about five miles from SHREVPORT, LOUISIANA. JOHN GRAY FOSTER, white. upraised the wife of PRINCE EDWARDS, saying that she was lazy, wouldn't work and should be whipped. EDWARDS told him that he had better thip her himself. FOSTER said he would do so, and going to his house, secured a gun and a whip and returned to EDWARD's house for the purpose of carrying out his threat. He was met by PRINCE EDWARDS who stepping outside of his c. bin leveled his shot gun and fired. FOSTER was killed almost instantly.
It is needless to say that EDWARDS did not tarry in the neighborho d, and up to this hour of writing he had not been captured.
In the meantime, a howling mob of white men corrailed all of the colored men and women in the settlement, and the outlook was that a wholesale lynching would ensue.
They had previously decided to burn EDWARDS at the stake, although his crime did not partake of the nature of an assault upon woman-hood. It was a thirst for blood, and the mob was determined to have a victim.
There was a man living in that section by the name of "Prophet" SMITH.
He had been employed by white men as a labor agent, and he induced many colored people from Texas to go to Louisiana.
It seemed strange that he should have been selected as the victim of the mob's fury. He had associated with him a man named H. D McLAND. It is not charged that he had anything whatever to do with the killing of Foster, but the mob reasoned that as he had brought these people from Texas and they were regarded as bad characters, he must be held responsible and so it was made to appear that he was at the head of an organization which put the colored folks against the white folks.
His doom and that of his companion was sealed. He was led forth to die, and his faith in God never deserted him. He had committed no crime against the law. He had violated no obligation. The mob decreed he must die and he was swung up with a prayer upon his lips and his prophecy reminder to the Lord that He had promised to be with him in those moments of affliction.
McLAND shared the same fate, and the end came speedily. The last named died like a stoie, and asked no favors.
These horrible murders have become so common that the public mind seems to have become dulled and does not respond readily enough to put a stop to the outrages.
EDWARD'S wife, MANDY, SEALY WEAWS and PHILLIES HAMILTON are as yet prisoners, and their fate is as yet in doubt.
What right has the sheriff to arrest innocent or guilty people unless he has the force at hand to protect them?
EDWARDS fought to the last and is respected and feared. "Prophet" Smith prayed to the last, and was unceremoniously butchered.
Of the two, we think that every right-thinking colored man and conscientious white one will admire EDWARDS most.
We deplore these sporadic outbreaks and they are caused by these hot-headed, Negro-hating Southerners who regard neither God nor the devil.
Lunch-law must go!
RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA.
THE PO-T AND THE RAE QUES.
The Washington, D. C., Post goes to the root of the matter when under the caption of "Two Much of the Negro Question," it says:
"There is no Negro question of any great importance that cannot be solved by the very simplest of processes. We have only to treat the Negro under general rules applying alike to all other classes of our neurogenous population and pay no further attention to them as Negroes."
The above suggestion is as simple as the "rule of three." If the white people of the country were guided thereby, the end would be in sight.
It is equivalent to saying we have a Negro question, because we make the Negro question.
"Why should we concern ourselves abut the Negro any more than about the Sicilian, the Malay, the German, the Russian, or the Portuguese? Why should they be segregated and see apart as a specially favored people? It is true that for two or three centuries they were slaves but they have been free for forty years, and during that period they have enjoyed the same advantages of education and opportunities of improvement that have been there the whites. It is a fact, indeed, that months of the complaint and agitation proceed from Negroes who were born, while the few survivors of slaves are well contented with their lot. The truth is that a dispassionate examination of their present attitude reveals more of a pretense of superiority than a petition for equality. They make the Negro question themselves with an impudent and clamorous demand for what they call 'recognition.'"
The Post continues:
"The state owes nothing to the Negro more than to any other citizen—that is to say, it owes protection of his life and property, equal rights before the law, equal facilities of education. We do not approve—on the contrary, we deplore and denounce—the excuse of the Negro from the ballot by merely because of his race and color. In our opinion, the illiterate, shiftless, and irresponsible whites make just as bad citizens as do Negroes of the same kind. Suffrage laws should not discriminate. They should take note of all diqualifications, mental, moral, or material, and apply them to whites and blacks alike. Under that arrangement, and it prevails in nearly every part of the country—the Negro has no excuse for being his neighbors with childish reckoning and recriminations. If he wan to become a capitalist, let him set about it; if white men have had to do; if he want to get into society, let him make himself eligible and acceptable to those who control its entrances. He will never become rich by loafing about and living on the wages of confiding coops and chambersmails, nor will he endure himself to society by sticking out his under lip and looking for a casus belli every hour of the day."
We endorse every word contained in the above quotation. It is the basic principle which the colored people of the country as a whole will recognize. It is all that we have demanded, and if the entire question were in the hands of the Post, we should rest contented that our fondest dreams were being realized.
But, mark you, Mr. P. sr, we venture the assertion that you will not find three leading Democratic journals in the South-land which will subscribe to the declaration of principles which you have so boldly announced.
It continues;
"None of this applies to the honest, industrious, anu sel-'repeating colored people, who can be found in hundreds of thousands between the Potomac and Gulf of Mexico. It applies so to the pushing, impertinent, half-educated, and wholly futile Negroes who are making all this tiresome noise.
"Any one who has read history knows that there is no royal road to wealth, power, greatness, influence for any race or class. The race that rules more than half the civilized world to-day lived in caves like the boars 2 000 years ago. The Latines who rule the rest of it knew the meaning of civilization only a few centuries earlier. Egypt was the exemplar of culture, the arts and science, when all the Caucasian races were steeped in a hideous and appalling barbarism. But none of these races rose to eminence and domination by complaining of injustice and persecution. What they got they earned. What they received, they were entitled to. Nations, peoples, individuals stand or fall upon their merits. Social evolution is not affected by silly outery and peevish lamentation.
"We are weary of this 'Negro question.' It is nonsense."
We are gratified to know that it is wery, and if the country will take the same view of it, as does the Washington Pres, all of the clamor and misrepresentation will have come to an end.

ADELBERT HAY'S DEATH
The Sudden Affliction Which Comes Upon Secretary Hay.
KILLED BY FALL FROM A WINDOW
The Ex-Consul to Pretoria Was In New Haven to Take Part in Commencement Week at Yale, as a Leader in the Class of '98.
New Haven, June 24. — Adelbert Stone Hay, former consul of the United States at Pretoria, South Africa, and eldest son of Secretary of State John Hay, fell from a window in the third story of the New Haven House in this city shortly before 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning, and was instantly killed.
The dead man was a graduate of Yale, of the class of '98, and his death occurred on the eve of the university commencement, which brought him here Saturday and in which, by virtue of his class office, the young man would have been one of the leaders.
The full details of the terrible accident will never be known. It is generally supposed, however, that after going to his room he went to the window for air and, sitting on the sill
A.
THE LATE ADELBERT S. HAY.
he dosed off and, overbalancing, fell to
the pavement below—a fall of fully 60
feet. The fall resulted in instant
death, and within 15 minutes the body
had been identified as that of young
Hay.
Young Hwa was one of the vanguard of the academic class of Yale '98. He had come to his old college town as a member of his class triennial committee and arrived early to assist his colleagues on the committee in preparing for the festivities of commencement week in general and for the class super in particular. He took dinner with some of his classmates, and at 8 o'clock hurried to the Hyperion theater, where he witnessed the evening performance. He spent a quiet hour in the hotel corridor and smoking room after the theater, and shortly after midnight retired to his room, remarking to the hotel clerk that he was sleepy and leaving a call for 9 o'clock in the morning. He was not seen again until his body came whirling through the air to its destruction. The body was clad in paiamas.
Secretary Hay, worn by the trip of nearly nine hours from Washington to New Haven, and nearly prostrated by grief at the untimely end of his oldest son, reached this city at 5:45 o'clock last evening. He was accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Whitney, and was met at the station by R. L. McDuffe, of New York city, and Mr. Charles Wade, of Cleveland.
The secretary, with his party, immediately entered a carriage and was driven in great haste to the residence of Mr. Seth Moseley, 36 Wall street, where reposed the remains of the dead son. Here Col. Hay utterly collapsed, and prostrated by his great grief took to his bed. His prostration was temporary, and today, accompanied by his wife, two daughters and younger son, the secretary left with the body of his son for Cleveland, where the interment will take place.
Steel Trust Still Reaching Out
Philadelphia, June 25—The Press says: "The United States Steel corporation is negotiating for the purchase of the Flat Top Coal Land association properties, and it is believed the deal will be consummated within a few days, the price of the land being fixed at $10,000,000. The company owns a large bituminous coal property prising 228,000 acres. The celebrated in Virginia and West Virginia, com-Pocahontas coal field is in this territory."
Another Texas Oil Gusher
Denison, Tex., June 28.—A large oil gusher was brought in yesterday at Red Fork, Creek Nation, north of Denison, on the "Frisco railroad extension. The gusher was tapped by the Pennsylvania Oil company, operating in the oil fields of the Indian Territory, and the oil spouted 400 feet in the air. The well was struck at a depth of 530 feet, and the pressure is so great at the top that any means of capping the top cannot be used.
Britons Supporting 80,000 Boers. London, June 26.—The casualty lists made public by the war office continue to show rather severe fighting in various parts of South Africa that are not reported in the ordinary dispatches. This is noticeably so with regard to the Zeerust position in Cape Colony. Including the Boer prisoners and those in the concentration camps, the cost of supporting some 80,000 Boers is today falling upon the British taxpayers.
STRIKERS RAID WORKERS
Fired on by a Guard and Four of the Invaders. Wounded
Columbia, S. C. June 24. The Southern railway shops in this city were attacked about 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning by a mob of several score of men. No damage to property was attempted except to break through the high fence surrounding the yards. The strikers were after the non-union laborers, and made for a car in which 20
were sleeping. A man, whose name is said to be Myers, was on guard. He fired both bombs of gun into the crowd, receiving himself a 32-caliber bullet in his forehead, but the skull was not penetrated. The mob fired a great many shots into the car in which the men were sleeping. None of the non-unionists were wounded, but after they had been dragged out of the car they were pretty roughly handled. They were marched up the railroad track several miles and ordered to travel north. Later in the day all but one of these men were brought back to the city by a force sent out from the shops.
It was not until the afternoon that it was known any of the rioters had been wounded. Close inquiry developed the fact that the wounds of four men, at least one seriously, had been dressed by two physicians. The doctors said they did not know the names of the men.
The strike leaders and the head men in the labor unions that have supported the striking machinists regard the attack as most unfortunate from the standpoint of the strikers.
A number of the most influential strikers did not know, so it is said, of the contemplated attack. A half dozen police are stationed at the shops.
GENERAL SOUTHERN NEWS
New Orleans, June 21.—Walter Selph, a young drummer, son of Col. Dudley Selph, state inspector of rifle practice, and former rifle champion, was killed last night in a fight at Audubon Park. He and a young man named L. L. Bailey had a quarrel at a military ball, and agreed to fight it out with bare fists. They had no seconds, and pounded each other until Selph fell from a blow which broke his neck. Martinsburg, W. Va., June 20.—The heaviest electrical and rain storm experienced here in many years passed over this afternoon. The lightning struck the large grain elevator at the Cumberland Valley freight depot, occupied and operated by Henshaw & Licklider, and greatly damaged it, but fortunately it was not set on fire. The residence of Mr. A. C. Matthael, on South Queen street, was also struck and badly damaged.
Knoxville, Tenn., June 20.—General Superintendent W. A. Dodson, of the Southern railway district, made this statement relative to the machinists' strike: "None of the machinists who went out on strike three weeks ago have been or will be taken back into the shops of the Southern Railway company. The proportion of men we have put to work in their places varies at different shops. At some places more than half the positions have been filled."
Atlanta, Ga., June 25.—Ike Hammond, one of the three negroes arrested for the murder of Policeman E. H Debray last Thursday night, confessed yesterday that his brother, Tom Hammond, had murdered the officer, like also confessed that Oscar Hammond and Jim Erwin were with Tom when the murder occurred. Hammond acknowledged that there was a plot to murder the policeman, but he said he had nothing to do with it. The detectives say they are convinced that Ike Hammond himself was into the plot and that it was his mission to decoy the officer.
Montgomery, Ala., June 25.—The section relating to a sheriff's tenure of office and suspension from office and impeachment, when he permits a prisoner to be taken from him and lynched, was reconsidered by the constitutional convention yesterday and one of its features stricken out. As amended it provides that the sheriff shall be ineligible to re-election, and whenever any prisoner is taken from his custody and put to death or suffers grievous bodily harm owing to the sheriff's neglect, connivance, cowardice or other grave fault such sheff may be impeached.
Elkins, W. Va., June 20.—A work train went through the Laurel Fork bridge on the Dry Fork connection of the West Virginia Central railroad, 14 miles south of Hendricks, W. Va., this morning. The dead are William Booker, roadmaster; J. W. Crowl, engineer and J. Speelman, fireman. The accident was caused by a fange on the pony truck breaking, causing the engine to jump the track, pulling several cars and a portion of the bridge with it, burying the men under the debris. Roadmaster Booker was riding on the engine, and it took three hours to remove his body from under the debris.
Richmond, Va., June 20.—The proceedings today of the Virginia Constitutional Convention showed very plainly that the overshadowing subject which is to come before it will be the disfranchisement of the negro. There were two resolutions offered and referred to the suffrage committee proposing to appeal to the other states of the union to join in a movement for a repeal of the fifteenth amendment. The first of these was presented by Circuit Judge Thomas W. Harrison, of Frederick. After declaring that universal suffrage has in the past been safely intrusted to the whites the resolution sets forth that universal suffrage has been attended with great evils in the South.
Mrs. Cordelia Botkin's New Trial.
San Francisco, June 26.—The case of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, under life sentence for the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Dunning at Dover, Del., was called in court yesterday for the purpose of fixing a date for a new trial. After some legal sparring the case went over until next Saturday. In passing the case Judge Cook remarked that the witnesses from Delaware will be brought here.
Expelled for Disloyalty to the King.
Melbourne, Victorin, June 26.—Amid scenes of excitement in the crowded galleries the federal assembly yesterday, by a vote of 64 to 17, expelled Mr. Findlay, editor of a local labor organ, for republishing in his paper the article from The Irish People, of Dublin, dated May 10, violently attacking King Edward, which caused the seizure of the last mentioned weekly periodical.

MAVERICK'S sail came slipping down the creek in the hour before dawn. There was an arc of growing light in the east with Jupiter shining white above.
He had been to the county town to try to raise money on his last bit of land, of which the waves were making an island before blotting it out altogether.
When estates were to be had for the asking, the first Maverick could go 20 miles on his own domain. He built the church of St. Deny's, B & M, that is still standing, and gave the glebe lands; he abhored a Puritan, upheld the authority of the king and the lord proprietary, signed his name with a cross, and left to his article servant, Haines, such unmany employment as reading and writing. Master and man lived in 1640, before the men from Nansemond made trouble in camp and state. After 1776, a Maverick of the fourth generation was a loyalist impoverished by a patriotic Haines, who through cleverness at statecraft had come to a responsible position, and who had married the daughter of a colonial dignitary. In marriage a Haines had ever a taste for alliance with his betters; several spinster brides had aided their rising fortunes with the influence of a name.
The matrimonial ventures of a Maverick were brought about by the attraction of the moment. A milkmaid, or a girl from a wayside inn made a charming bride, providing she had the beauty and brilliance of youth. Haines' statesmanship of the present day had narrowed to county politics and a controlling hand over lucrative offices; while Maverick earned a scant living from the water and from the few acres he had left. Something more by inheritance still remained to him—a contempt for books, two tankards with well-worn thumb pieces, a superstitious reverence for the hospitality of his poor house, and an unimpaired hatred of a Haines.
He kept a careless hand on the tiller, and went over the news he had heard in town; Haines, who was county treasurer, had defaulted. His political opponents were in power, even the judges on the bench were against him; he was a fugitive, with the certainty of a vigorous justice before him. He might have got out of the country if he had not risked his freedom for the sake of a sick child, a son whom he dearly loved.
Maverick recalled the tax gatherer's petty persecutions over his own insignificant tithe. He summed up an account of generations, and laughed at the result.
As his keel dragged the sand, his wife ran down through the half light to the edge of the water. She was small and very young, and she ran on tiptoe, beating the air with her hands as if buoying her movements. Eagerness shone in her eyes and in the trembling of her compressed lips. He had married after the custom of his people, and in her he worshiped youth and beauty in the concrete.
She pushed him away and turned from his kiss to ask:
"Did the man let you have the money?"
"No."
She skipped from one foot to the other:
"I've got it. I can do better'n you by staying home."
"What?"
"I've got the money. Hurry up."
"I've got the money. Hurry up." Maverick made the boat fast, and rumaged in the locker for his purchases.
"What difference does it make about the old boat? Hurry, hurry."
He awkwardly untied a package and held a red ribbon and some mint sticks above her head.
"What'll you give for them?"
"Here," she said, impatiently, and lifted her face to kiss him. "Don't you see the sun'll be up in less than an hour? Come up to the house. There's the money for the mortgage on the room floor."
He followed her up the path. She signed to him to walk sortly and he imitated her light motions. The inner door was ajar, and as he peered into
the dusky place he saw, first, familiar things that had been associated with him for 50 years, a picture, an oaken settee and the two old tankards, which the girl beside him had kept brightly polished to while away her time. Afterward, in the lane of light, he saw a bowl and a plate with some crumbs of bread upon it. The shadow across the hearth was the fugitive treasurer. His clothes were torn and his shoes were broken. His narrow face, with the growth of a week's beard, was hidden on his arm, and his clerkly hands lay out on the floor where he had stretched them in the expectation of sleep. He slept securely; their voices did not disturb him.
"Do you know who he is?"
"Naney Garry rowed over last night an' told me about a man that had been stealin' money; he'd been tracked down this way an' the sheriff was follerin' him."
"When did he come?"
"About 12. When I come up from the landin' seein' Nancy Garry off he was standin' in the porch, an' he asked me if I'd let him lay down there. I knew him. I told him he could lay down on the floor of the room, an' I fetched him bread an' milk—good milk—an' I said you wouldn't be home till next day. He didn't know this was your house, an' he asked me if I was your daughter." She pointed to the key in the lock. "The shutters was fastened on the outside. From what Nancy Garry said, I reckon the sheer'll be down the road about sunup or a little after. I'll signal him from our side and—there's the mortgage. He'll give $300 for him."
Her eyes danced; the bosom of her dress rose and fell with her quick breathing. Maverick looked through the door at the treasurer.
"It's Haines, ain't it?" whispered the girl. She shook his sleeve impatiently. "I thought you'd be glad."
He kept hold of her hand and drew her out on the porch. He had treated her like a child, and she had flattered him with an indulgent domination that is shown to the very young and the very old.
"Ain't you glad?" she persisted. "If Nancy Garry'd caught him you'd be glad."
"Maybe; but not to trap him in our own house, if he's a hundred times a Haines."
"After all his letters an' threats; an' all you tell me about his people an' your people when they was worth something?"
"Never mind," he said, sharply. "Listen; when I get down to the turn-
MAVERICK MADE THE BOAT EAST
you wake him up, give him some bread and tell him what you know about the sher'ff—tell him all you know. Do you hear? The far side of the creek'll serve him best. That's not mine; it never was. And tell him"—his anger mastered him"—by the power that made me; I'll hunt him like a hound as soon as his foot's on another man's 'land!"
Julie watched him enter the misty woods before she opened the cupboard and cut a piece of bread from the loaf; she looked at it critically and cut a smaller slice, which she carried to the inner room.
An hour after she met Maverick coming up from the highway. His hat was off, and the level sun shone on his worn face and on his gray hair. Julie thought he looked old.
"Did you see the sher'ff?"
"Yes."
"Well, it was a heap o' money, an' we might as well had it as anybody. It wasn't my fault."
She slipped her head under his arm and began to rifle his pockets of the red ribbons and the mint sticks; she forgot Haines.
Maverick, too, forgot Haines, and thought only of Julie; there had come the fear that, though they went hand in hand, nevertheless he went out of his paradise.
CONVERTED THE OLD BELL.
Priest's Explanation to a Presbyterian of How It Become Truly Consecrated.
For many years Father Boyle was one of the most prominent and popular Catholic clergymen in Washington, where he had a great reputation as a wit. Many of his most intimate friends were Protestants and members of the Protestant clergy. A few months before his death he erected a missionary chapel down by the navy yard and bought at a junk shop an old bell which had been discarded by one of the Presbyterian churches. He sent the bell to a foundry in Georgetown and had several inches of metal raid off the rim. Having thus got rid of a crack the harsh and discordant tones of the bell became short and sweet. Meeting a Presbyterian parson not long after, Father Boyle called his attention to the change and the latter could scarcely believe it was the same bell. "What in the world did you do with that bell?" inquired the Presbyterian pastor, "to such a change in the tone?" "We blessed it and blessed it until we got the Presbyterian devil out of it," retorted Father Boyle, "and then it sounded all right."
"Now you are tired of me and abuse me," sobbed the young wife whose husband refused to hire another maid to take care of her pet dogs. "Yet," she continued, "not two years ago you were just crazy to marry me." "Yes," answered the complacent man-brute, "my friends told me so at the time, but I didn't realize it until after we were married."—Kansas City St.

COMEDY OF ERRORS
COMEDY OF ERRORS
Plot Rests on Mystery in Likeness of Two Modern Dromios.
Mr. Snively and Mr. Harlan Look Like Twin Brothers, and Perhaps They Are, But Nobody Knows to a Certainty.
Fiction frequently masquerades as truth, but the following story, which, all except the names of the persons, is vouchsafed for as a fact by the Chicago Post, shows that truth may seem occasionally to borrow the robe of her imitator.
One day when riding in a Chicago street car Mr. Snively, of Buffalo, raised his eyes from his newspaper and met the glance of a lady who was sitting beside him. She smiled and offered a gloved hand, saying: "How do you do, Mr. Harlan? You have returned to Chicago sooner than you had intended, have you not?" "Excuse me, madam," he returned, feeling that in the circumstances it would not be right to take her hand, "you have mistaken me for some one else. My name is not Harlan." She made no further remark, but turned her back upon him, changing her seat at the first opportunity for one at the end of the car.
"I wonder if this is some kind of a confidence game," mused Mr. Snively. "If so, the next move will be. I suppose, for some fellow to address me by my own name. I only wish he would, that's all."
But nothing of the kind occurred, and he was convinced that the lady had been really sincere.
A few weeks after this Mr. Snively entered a hotel in Boston. The clerk nodded familiarly, and while the guest was writing his name in the register said: "Your old room is vacant, Mr. Harlan."
"I must bear a close resemblance to that man," said Mr. Snively, making a final flourish with his pen. "This is the second time I have been
"YOUR NAME IS HARLAN."
called Harlan." And he pointed to the name he had just registered. The clerk grinned. "That's good, very good," he said. The other eyed him sternly. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Oh, nothing, that's all right," returned the clerk, and calling a bell-boy he said: "Show Mr. Har—this gentleman to 24." The clerk did not mention the matter again, but every time Mr. Snively caught his eye he noticed he wore that same irritating grin.
One night after his return to Buffalo Mr. Snively strolled into the billiard-room of one of the large hotels. Absorbed in watching the game he took no special notice of the players for a few moments, when he suddenly became aware of the fact that one of them was cying him intently. Mr. Snively gave a gasp. Was this his fetich, a wraith sent to warn him of disaster or approaching death? Was it his immortal spirit which had resolved to stand before him and let him see himself as others saw him? Of course all this did not come into Mr. Snively's mind sentence *y* sentence, but passed through it like a flash. Then common sense resumed its sway and he said:
"I know who you are, sir; your name is Harlan. I have more than once been mistaken for you."
"And your name is Snively," replied the other. "I am glad, Mr. Snively, that you never forget to pay your hotel bills, otherwise it might have been quite unpleasant for me."
They both laughed. Neither said: "I see by you I am a sweet-faced youth," but perhaps they both thought something of the kind.
The two soon became warm friends. Mr. Harlan was a traveling agent for a firm in Florida. He was married shortly after this meeting, and invited his double to the wedding.
Strange to relate, Mr. Snively had a twin brother who was lost or stolen in his childhood, when his family was living in the south. Stranger to relate, Mr. Harlan is an adopted son who knows nothing of his real parentage. If this were fiction it would be easy to conclude the narrative with the statement that the two were twin brothers; but whether they are related must remain a mystery.
A Human Needle Cushion.
A human needle-cushion dwells in It. Germain, near Paris. She is Mile, Landrieux, aged 16. When she was 11 years old she delighted in swallowing needles. In one day she swallowed 49. Recently they began to work their way to the surface of her hands, arms, legs, feet and various parts of her body, one even appearing in her eyelid. A physician has already extracted 120 of them.
WOOED ON A TRAIN.
ebraska Drummer Politely Raises Car Window and Thereon Is Founded a Romance.
John T. Bailey, of Hastings, Neb., has been married to Miss Jeanette James, of Kansas City, and a pretty touch of romance hanging upon the ceremony has just become known. Mr. Bailey, says the Chicago Ameri-
man, is traveling agent for an advertising company of Chicago, with Nebraska as his territory, making Hastings his headquarters. Last week he was returning from his usual trip. Scared beside him in the railroad coach was a pretty girl, who at once attracted him. Through the medium of an ill-fitting
SCRAPING AN ACQUAINTANCE
window Mr. Bailey had occasion to speak to the object of his thoughts, who soon informed him that she was on her way to Marysville, Kan. Whereupon Mr. Bailey told the young lady he was well acquainted there, having a cousin in Maryville, a young doctor, whom he often visited and who was to be married in a few weeks.
With wide open eyes and abated breath the young woman abashingly confided to Bailey she was the person to whom his cousin was to be married, but there were chances of it never occurring, as they had had some differences, and it was the mission of her trip to Marysville to endeavor to bring about a reconciliation with her fiance. Mr. Bailey concluded to act the part of a mediator and agreed to accompany Miss James to his cousin's home and intercede for her. Arriving there the young doctor was greatly chagrined and offended that his promised wife should tell her troubles to a stranger whom she had accidentally met on the train, even though that person chanced to be his own cousin. He refused even to talk the matter over, and bade her go to her home, which she did.
Bailey followed on the next train, went to Miss James' home at 1303 East Eighth street, and pleaded his own cause, acknowledging it a case of love at first sight. They were quietly married the next day and an appropriate supper was given by the Elks, of which order Mr. Bailey is a prominent member. The couple left on the midnight train for Washington, D. C., hoping to go far enough not to have their happy romance heralded before their coming. Miss James belongs to one of the best families in Kansas City and is 19 years old. She is an accomplished young woman.

Doe, though that name gives no clew to his identity. He was found apparently dead on the sidewalk at three o'clock in the morning by a passer-by. The body was carried to the city hall, where the coroner, Henry Kelly, selected a jujy and held an inquest.
Two doctors said heart failure and a verdict was rendered in accordance. The body was taken to an undertaking establishment and had hardly been laid out when he rose up and began to sing. Coroner Kelly is also mayor of the town, and at once had "John Doe" locked up and later fined him five dollars for disturbing the peace by singing uproariously.
The stranger refused to tell his name, paid the fine and drove off.
Breakfasts and Longevity.
A British physician asserts that the people who live longest are those who make breakfast the chief meal of the day. In the morning the stomach possesses more vigor than at any other time. Nowadays the people who are most subject to ills are those who gorge themselves at night, and tumble into bed soon after a hearty meal.
When the Proportion Is Right.
"But true love, you know," urged the young man, "can live on bread and cheese and kisses."
"That may be true when the proportion is right," returned the practical old gentleman, "but unfortunately in your case it is about nine-tenths kisses."—Chicago Post.

Improvement of the Cow.
Improvement of the Cow.
We learn from sacred history and books of ancient writers that the cow, like the ox, originally was used solely for agricultural purposes, at least, for many hundred years, perhaps, before her milk was used as a product for household consumption. It is generally believed, also, that originally the cow, like the deer, buffalo, moose, and elk, gave only sufficient milk to rear her young, from which we see what a wonderful degree of improvement has taken place, when a single animal is nowadays made to produce 100 pounds (50 quarts) of milk in a single day, or 100 pounds of butter in a month, or again, when a cow has averaged over her own weight in milk every month for a year. When we consider the original inferior ancestry of these animals, these results are something marvelous. Care, climatic influences, selection, mating, and food have been the causes, and of these, food has played the principal part in producing improvements. Man, by selecting and mating, has taken advantage of the variations produced by food, or the abnormal characteristics, and has gradually molded and fashioned an animal to suit his taste and ideals as to greater production, as well as greater beauty and symmetry of form.—Outing.
To Establish Measuring Standards.
The last congress passed a bill to establish a national standardizing bureau. Strange to say, the United States has never had measuring standards of its own. Our standard yard stick is in England, the standards of the metric system and the thermometer belong to France, and our electrical measuring instruments are standardized in Germany at great expense. The new bureau will have the custody of standards of weight, length, time, temperature, mass pressure and other physical qualities. Its duties will be to compare these with the measuring instruments used in science, engineering, manufacturing, commerce and school work, to make new standards when necessary, to solve problems that arise in measurement, and to show the properties of materials when such information will aid scientists or manufacturers and cannot be got so accurately elsewhere. The bureau will have a $250,000 laboratory. — Little Chronicle.
Why He Collapsed.
"What," he exclaimed, as he hurried to where the crowd had gathered, "was the ambulance called for?" "They've just taken a man away in a precarious condition."
"Do you know what happened to him?"
"It was a case of heart disease. He had made an appointment to meet his wife here on this corner at three o'clock precisely."
"Yes?"
"He got here actually on time."
"And he had to run so hard to do this that his heart went back on him?"
"No. He didn't run at all. He found the lady waiting when he got here."—N. Y. Telegraph.
Tonds in Bermuda
Bermuda is remarkable for the scarcity of land vertebrate animals. It possesses only one species of reptile, a lizard, and only 15 or 10 years ago there were no amphi-ians. At that time some of the huge Guiana toads were imported from Demarara by the owner of a Bermudan garden, who thought the animals would clear his plants of insects. The toads thrived on the insects and spread over the islands, and now they are regarded with disfavor because 'they get into the cisterns which hold the rain-water that is universally used for drinking purposes in Bermuda.—Youth's Companion.
A Polish Wedding.
A curious marriage was recently celebrated at Grocholetz, in Poland, where a peasant of 88 led to the altar a maiden of 18 summers. Among the 200 guests invited to the wedding were 11 sons of the bridegroom by former marriages, the eldest being 60 years old and the youngest 41. There were also 63 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren, 21 children of the fourth generation, and four of the fifth.—N. Y. Sun.
Citizenship in Great Britain
Before a foreigner can become a citizen of the United Kingdom he must have resided in Britain or have been in the service of the crown for five years. Having this qualification, and having also the intention of residing permanently in the United Kingdom, or serving under the crown, he may apply to the home secretary for naturalization.—N. Y. Sun.
PEOPLE YOU HAVE HEARD OF.
The daughter and son of Senator Mason, of Illinois, are his law partners.
Alexander Hogg, brother of ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas, is about 150 pounds lighter than the former executive, but the two nevertheless bear a striking resemblance.
Second Assistant Secretary of State A. A. Adee is said to be better versed in the language of diplomacy than any living American. He writes nearly all the state papers intended for foreign reading. George O. Smith, of Washington, who is the geologist detailed by the government to make a survey of the United States-Canadian boundary, is a native of Skowhegan, Me., and a graduate of Colby college, '93.
SHIPS THAT SAIL THE SEAS.
Of 3,757 ships calling at Malta last year, 8,325 were British. The fastest boat plying between England and India makes only 14½ knots on the whole passage. No British ship may carry a deck load of timber into a British port between the last day of October and April 16. In the course of a year 334,000 vessels of a combined tonnage of 56,000,000 of tons enter British ports and 298,000 clear. An ordinary lead for casting at sea weighs seven to fourteen pounds, and has at the bottom of it a hole filled with tallow to bring up samples of the sea bottom.

Old hunters say
The MARLIN
has so many things to commend it. The top of the action is always closed, the mechanism the most simple, the finish elegant, the form attractive. It seems to throw its bullets a little more accurately and plant them with a little more force than any other rifle. For deterhales 30-55 or 30-30.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY
For Bank Cashier Whose Kindness Made Him a Criminal.
FALSE FRIEND NOW A CONVICT.
He Was Promptly Convicted For His Share in Wrecking a Vermont Bank, and Is Serving a Term of Seven Years in Prison.
Washington, June 26.—The president yesterday pardoned Charles W. Mussey, former cashier of the National bank, of Rutland, Vt., who was convicted last year of the misapplication of $100,000 of the funds of the bank and sentenced to seven years in the house of correction. Mussey did not benefit by the misapplication of the funds, but permitted a friend financially irresponsible to overdraw to the amount stated. This showing, together with the fact that he is critically ill, induced the president to grant his application for pardon.
District Attorney James L. Martin, in reporting on the case to the department of justice, said that Mussey had been cashier for nearly 15 years and always maintained an excellent reputation, but was decidedly weak in resisting personal appeals, and especially from those he regarded as friends. Martin added:
"Some time in 1893 Marvin A McClure, a personal friend, and then a man of good standing, applied to the bank for a loan of $3,000. The finance committee declined to make the loan, whereupon McClure, by personal appeal, prevailed upon Mussey to let him have the money, with a solemn promise that it would be promptly paid when due, and with the understanding that the loan should be kept from the knowledge of the directors. Subsequent events proved that McClure was a rascal. He got Mussey into his power by this first loan and held him there until the bank was practically ruined by loans made to McClure."
When the crookedness was discovered Mussey told the whole truth. He never profited a dollar by the transactions and what little he had saved from his annual salary of $1,500 was promptly turned over to the receiver. He is today a man of absolute poverty. Ever since his arrest he has done everything in his power to assist the receiver of the bank and the government. McClure was subsequently arrested for aiding and abetting in the misapplication of the funds, and was promptly convicted and sentenced to seven years' imprisonment.
The Speedy Columbia
New York, June 26. - It is safe to say that not since the yachts Vigilant and Allisa were built have they received such a crushing defeat as that administered yesterday by the sloop Columbia. It was on Long Island sound in the race for the Glen Cove cups, offered by the New York Yacht club, and in a strong and steady breeze. Many who watched Columbia yesterday agree that she is many minutes faster than two years ago, when she met the Shamrock I. Although she was to allow the Vigilant 20 minutes over a 30 mile course, the Columbia defeated her by 19 minutes, 55 seconds, and the Allisa by 22 minutes, 19 seconds in sailing only 15 miles, for the race was stopped at the end of the first round of the course.
Railroad War in Ohio.
Findlay, O., June 26.—Because a section gang on the B. and O. tore up a newly paved street at North Baltimore yesterday a general riot followed. A mob of about 200, comprising many merchants and prominent people, charged the workmen and drove them from the street, peeling them with stones and clubs. A guard was left, but in a short time the workmen again went to work. This time the citizens forced issues, pulled the village hand fire engine to the scene and played several streams of water on the workmen. A renewal of hostilities is promised if the railroad insists on laying its tracks on the forbidden ground.
Reading Strikers Still Out
Reading, Pa., June 26.—A total of five strikers, according to the strike executive committee, returned to work at the Philadelphia and Reading shops yesterday, the time limit set by President Baer. According to his address to the men, the other odd 1,200 employees must now consider themselves discharged and the company will proceed to fill their places with non-union men.
General Lee's Daughter Wedded:
New York, June 26.—The wedding of Miss Ellen Lee, daughter of Brigadier General Fitzhugh Lee, to First Lieutenant James Cooper Rhea, of the Seventh cavalry, U. S. A., took place yesterday in the Church of the Transfiguration, in this city. Miss Anne Fitzhugh Lee, sister of the bride, was maid of honor, and First Lieutenant E. H. Humphrey, of the Seventh cavalry, was the best man.
Tornado Victims In Ohio
Newark, O., June 26.—A tornado swept over Newark yesterday afternoon. The upper portion of the new factory at the H. H. Everett glass works, where 75 men were at work, was wrecked and seven men were caught in the debris. Lloyd Cunningham was fatally injured. Walter Dick inson, day foreman, and Thomas Douglass each had a leg broken.
THE OHIO REPUBLICANS
Nominate a State Ticket and Adjourn
In Three Hours.
Columbus, O., June 26.—The Republican state convention met here yesterday and nominated the following tickets. For governor, George K. Nash; heutenant governor, Carl L. Nippert; supreme judge, J. L. Price; attorney general, John M. Sheets; clerk of supreme court, Lawson R. Emerson;
state treasurer, Isaac B. Cameron; member of board of public works, W. G. Johnson.
The convention was in session from 10:10 a. m. to 1:10 p. m., breaking the Ohio record by completing its work in three hours. The intense heat was prostrating, and Chairman Hanna not only cut short his own speech, but also those of others, and then dispatched business with the utmost speed.
Of the seven nominations only three were new men, and one of these, Nippert, for lieutenant governor, was nominated without opposition, after Lieutenant Governor Caldwell had declined renomination.
Indians' Appeal Denied .
Indians Appeal Denied.
Washington, June 26—The court of appeals yesterday denied the motion of Lone Wolf and other Klowa and Comanche Indians for a special appeal from the decision of Judge Bradley, refusing an injunction against the secretary of the interior and other officials to prevent the opening of the Klowa, Comanche and Apache lands in Oklahoma. Assistant Attorney General Vandevanter argued for the government and ex-Congressman W. M. Springer for the Indians. The court holds Judge Bradley's denial of the injunction to be not a final decree and says the case must proceed in the district supreme court, with the right of appeal then to the court of appeals and the United States supreme court. The president's proclamation opening the lands to settlement will probably be issued next week.
Double Murder at Hagerstown
Double Murder at Hagerstown.
Hagerstown, Md., June 26.—William
Grant, a Cumberland Valley railroad
locomotive engineer, last night shot
and killed Yardmaster Jacob H. Fuller
and Policeman Flora, and was himself
fatally wounded by Flora as he fell.
Grant, who had been 20 years in the
service of the railroad, was discharged
yesterday on the report of Fuller.
When the men met last night Grant
fired four shots into Fuller, who died
an hour later. Policeman Flora came
running up, and Grant shot him
through the heart, killing him almost
instantly. Grant cannot recover.
Absorbed by the Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, June 26. The actual purchaser of the underwriting syndicate's holdings of the Pennsylvania Steel company's stocks was made public yesterday by Eflingham B. Morris, a member of the executive committee of the company, and one of those who negotiated the sale. The purchaser was the Pennsylvania company, owned and controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. Mr. Morris also announced that the Pennsylvania company had secured a controlling interest in the Cambria Steel company.
The St. Louis World's Fair Site.
St. Louis, June 26—At its regular monthly meeting the board of directors of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition company unanimously adopted the report of the executive committee, which has selected the Forest Park site as its choice for the location of the world's fair, to be held in this city in 1903. It is not thought that there will be any delay in the ratification of the action of the local directors. The site covers 1,118 acres, one-third more space than was used by the Chicago exposition.
