THE GREAT PLAGUES REMINDERS OF THE DAYS OF EPIDEMICS. How the Stricken Inhabitants of Towns in the Middle Ages Combat- ted the Evils of the Times—Plague Stones. The story of the great plague of London is familiar to all readers of history and has been dealt with by many writers of fiction. Even the bypaths of history supply much suggestive matter, while hidden away in church wardens and other old accounts are many items that remind us of the plague. Here, for example, are two entries from the parish accounts of St. Mary Woolmith, London: 15S-4. Item, for setting a cross upon one Allen's doors in the sick- ness room. 15S-4. Item, paid for setting two red crosses upon Anthony Sound The crosses were about a foot in length. The crosses served as a caution against entering such houses. In various parts of England the plague stones are silent reminders of the time when epidemics laid low so many inhabitants both in town and country. A stone in the Derby Arboretum bears the following inscription: Headless Cross or Market Stone—This stone formed part of the ancient Cross at the end of Friar Gate, and was used by the inhabitants of Derby as a market stone during the visitation of the plague, 1655. It is thus described by Hutton in his 'History of Derby': "1655—Derby was again visited by the plague at the same time in which London fell under the severe calamity. The town was forsaken; the farmers declined the market place; and grass grew upon that spot which had furnished the support of life. "To prevent a famine, the inhabitants erected at the top of Nuns' Green, one or two hundred yards from the buildings, now Friar Gate, what bore the name of Headless Cross, consisting of about four quadrangular steps, five feet high. I knew it in perfection. "Hither the market people, having their primed with tobacco as a preservative, brought their provisions, stood at a distance from their property, and at a greater from the people, with whom they were to trafic. "The buyer was not suffered to touch any of the articles before purchase; when the agreement was finished he took the good and deposited the money in a vessel filled with vinegar, set for that purpose." The mention of tobacco in the foregoing inscription is a curiosity, showcased in the record as a very efficacious preventive. Winchester suffered much from the plague in 1666. On the downs near the city are numerous curiously shaped mounds, which are said to cover the pits into which the dead were cast. When the pestilence raged a primitive kind of quarantine was practiced. The country folk supplied food, which was placed on a stone outside the city, and in exchange the citizens placed money in a bowl of water. The old plague stone still remains, built into the base of a monument, which bears an inscription as follows: "This monument is erected by the Society of Natives, on the very spot of ground from which the markets were removed, and whose basis is the very stone on which a machine that the city lay under the source of the destroying pestilence, in the year sixteen hundred sixty-six. The Society of Natives was founded on the 26th of August, 1669, for the relief of the widows and orphans of their fellow-citizens who died of the great plague." Beneath a spreading tree in the grounds of Tothby house, near Alford, Lincolnshire, is a plague stone. About 275 years ago the inhabitants of Spilsby and the surrounding villages day by day up to the Alford Cross hill, which overlooks the wide marsh country, with Alford lying just at the foot. At the top they left food, etc., for the poor sufferers and took in return money deposited in vessels containing water or other liquid placed on the plague stone. They put up the other side of the hill for their supplies. Thus the two parties kept well apart—Chambers' Journal. Vesuvius Long at Work. The most recent excavations show that Vesuvius began its work as a conservator of antiquities in the 7th century B.C. During the excavations in the valley of the Barno, near San Marzano, some most interesting antiquities have come to light. These had been covered up by a volcanic deposit about six feet thick, which points to an eruption of Vesuvius in the seventh century before the relics include a Greek burying place, archeal Italian tombs and various bronzes and terra-cottas. Emerald as Big as a Walnut. It is said Mrs. Schwab's jewels are as line as any owned in New York. To hear her Pittsburg friends discuss them one would believe the dissolved pearls in her breakfast coffee. "Mrs. Schwab has an emerald as large as a walnut," you will hear Pittsburgers say. This emerald has been worn in New York as a lavoliere. It is a large and uncommonly clear stone and is heart-shaped. But it looks insignificant beside her diamond necklace. This has drops and festoons and a clasp composed of a large solitaire—New York Press. AN ODD INDIAN BELIEF. Tradition Connected With the Division Into, Costes According to the tradition of one of the tribes of India, the sun created a man and a woman at the beginning of time and this couple had twelve children. They had all come to an age to shift for themselves the sun divided them into pairs and placed food of all kinds before them. On their choice depended the fate of their descendants. Those who took vegetable tables only became the ancestors of the highest caste of all, the Brahms, while the Santals, the lowest of all castes, spring from those who chose pigs. The Kols declare that they are descended from those who took bullocks' flesh and to the sustaining power of the food of their choice the Larka, or fighting Kols, attribute their strength and fine physique. When these latter at the beginning of the last century first met English troops they were quickly impressed with their strength, and, finding that they, too, are bullocks' flesh, the Kols paid them the great compliment of assigning them the same pair of ancestors as the Kols. But by the time eleven pairs had chosen their share of the food provided there was nothing left for the unfortunate twelfth couple, and they had to beg food from the others who had fared better. From this unlucky pair sprang the Grassia, who, do not work, but support themselves on the charity and leavings of others. NOT A BLOOD BELATION Death of Life's Partner Caused a Fine Distinction. It was in one of the farming districts of New England. The young folks had banded themselves together for monthly jollifications during the winter and were about to celebrate the last dance of the season, as well as a couple of engagements which had resulted from the assemblies. Ben Hawkins, the local Paginiin, and his Stradivarius had been engaged to lead them through the mazes of the country dance, and all were looking forward to the "time of their life." But death inconsiderately claimed Mrs. Hawkins for his own on the afternoon of the eventful party. The young people gathered as arranged, but bemoaned the absence of "Ole Ben," and games were being being for the dancing, when! Hawkins and his fiddle appeared on the scene. Great astonishment and many questions greeted the old man, but he calmly slipped his fiddle out of its green bag and as he meditatively rubbed the resin on the bow said: "Wall, yes, Maria's gone; died this afternoon, and I reckon 'tank no sin for me to play for you to-night, seein' she wan't no blood relation." Peculiar Marriage Ceremony Peculiar Marriage Ceremony. Among the Kherrias of India the marriage ceremony is quite elaborate. After many preliminaries the priest takes a small portion of the hair of the bride and groom in turn, from the center of the forehead, he draws it down to the bridge of the nose. Then, pouring oil on the top of the head, he watches it carefully as it tricks down the portion of hair. If the oil runs straight on to the tip of the nose their future will be fortunate, but if it tricks down on either side of the head bad luck is sure to follow. Their fortunes told, generally to their own satisfaction, the essential and irrevocable part of the ceremony takes place. Standing up side by side, with faces strictly averted, the bride and bridegroom mark each other's foreheads with "sindur" (vermilion). Great care is always taken that neither shall catch a glimpse of the other during this important process, which only makes the couple man and wife. A Canny Preacher. Major Pond was a discreet man, but he occasionally told one celebrity a good story at the expense of another. One of his favorite stories was of an American preacher who preached in England under his management. The sermons attracted greater audiences than either man, and the preacher was at length, one night, as manager and managed sat talking upon the steps of a great London church after the delivery of a successful sermon in a neighboring hall, the dissatisfied preacher struck for higher wages, and brought, such arguments to bear that the manager felt it necessary to yield. It was a costly talk for Major Pond, but he keenly enjoyed the humor of the preacher, and pleased picturing the great preacher in the moonlight upon the cathedral step bargaining for higher pay for preaching the gospel—New York Sun. Snake Captures Dog. Shake. Harry Meibel of Boston went to the Mountain Tea hills yesterday in search of mountain tea. He was accompanied by a young beagle hound. The hound became, separated from Michel and soon attracted him by its ripping. He found the hound in a small open space in the underbrush, and firmly wrapped around the animal was a large snake. Flood Benefit One Man. The Missouri river flood has given P. C. Nuckles of Rocheport, Mo., a new house, completely furnished. The eight men drove Mr. Nuckles away his farm, and when he returned to it he found on his hand a comparatively new house, which was in good condition, despite its watery journey. There is nothing about it to indicate who the owner is. THE APPEAL. CAPTURED LION IN SEWER Frank Bostock, Well-Known Animal Trainer, Tells of an Exciting Time at Birmingham, England, With Runaway Jungle Monarch. and give him another lion for companionship. They were divided, however, by an iron partition. "On the opening day we ran one of our big cages on wheels up to the cage containing the two lions, and placing the cages door to door dropped a lasso over the quiet lion's neck, and introduced him to en- There is a fascination about wild animal training from which few who have once felt it ever escape. It is the fascination of constant danger, of taking your life in your hand daily, and of putting your will against the bloodthirsty ferocity of wild beasts. In his book "The Training of Wild Animals," just published by the Century Company, Mr. Frank C. Bostock, of the greatest wild-bear tamers and trainers in the country, gives us an insight into the perils and pleasures of animal training. Told in his own words, it is one of the most thrilling stories ever written and possesses as well many other elements of interest. "A thrilling experience of mine in Birmingham, England, in 1839 may show the critical situation in which a wild-animal showman is sometimes placed," writes Mr. Bostock. At the time, We had an African beast, which had killed one man and wounded several attendants at various times. The only thing we could do was to keep him quiet and give him another lion for companionship. They were divided, however, by an iron partition. "On the opening day we ran one of our big cages on wheels up to the cage containing the two lions, and placing the cage door to door dropped a lace over the quiet lion's neck, and by gentle twitches induced him to enter the big cage. "Then we tried the same tactics with the African lion, but with very different results. Time after time he slipped the noose from his great body and tore madly up and down the cage, as though possessed of the strength of twenty lions. We waited a few minutes until he stopped to roar, and then once more slipped the rope over him. With a terrific wrench and twist he got hinself free, and with such a wild bound that the cages shook again he sprang into the next cage so suddenly and with such terrific force as to cause the wagon to move away upon its wheels, and before the attendants could close the door he brang out their heads and into the street, where for a time he was free and untrammeled as when in his "To approach him probably meant death, but in spite of this we tried to capture him with ropes and the lasso, but without success. Suddenly he turned, dashed through the lions' tent to the rear of, the building, pushed himself through a rift and made off for the city of Birmingham, which contained at that time over 200,000 people. "On his way he came to one of the openings of the many sewers which empty the waste of the city and down he sprang, looking up at the crowd of people and roaring at the top of his voice. In about twenty minutes nearly every person in Birmingham knew what had happened, and the greatest consternation prevailed everywhere." "The fear was intensified by the fact that the lion made his way through the sewers he stopped at every manhole he came to and there up a succession of roars that echoed and reverberated until the very earth seemed to be full of weird sounds, driving some of the people nearly wild with terror. "I was at my wits' end. There was the danger of the lion escaping from the sewer at any moment and killing some one, for which I should be responsible, while there was also the greater danger that there would be a riot among the crowd. Something must be done to allay their fears. The people were in a bad temper. "I gathered my men quickly, put a lion in a large shifting cage, covered it with canvas so that the lion might not be seen and set off for the sewer. not be seen and set on for the sewer. "Then, with three of my attendants, I went three blocks back, lowering ropes down each of the manholes on our way until we pretended we had found the lion and then I lowered myself into the depths through the third manhole. The next thing was to fire blank cartridges, blow horns and shout as loudly as possible. "The attendants suddenly clapped the cage door down with a shight and the cry went up that we had knelt. "Meanwhile I was standing, both of cold perspiration, for matters were serious and knew not what to next. "The fears of the people were allayed for the present, and a probable riot had been stopped only just in time, but the lion was still in the sewer. He might get out at any moment—might be out even then, for all I knew—or he might roar again and so let his whereabouts be known and my deception, which would cause a greater riot than before. "As soon as possible I placed trusty men with iron bars at the mouth of A the sewer, and as, fortunately, the lion stopped his roaring and contented himself with peramubulating up and down the sewer through the narrow miles of tunneling, things were quiet for the time. "When everything had been done that was possible I went to bed, but as that was the most anxious night I have ever had, it is scarcely necessary that sleep was out of the question. "On the afternoon of the following day the chief of police of Birmingham came to see me and congratulated me on my marvelous pluck and daring. This made me feel worse than before, and I at once made a clean breast of the whole thing. "I shall never forget that man's face when he realized that the lion was still in the sewer. It was a wonderful study for any mind, reader. At first I thought he was a monster, but when I showed him I had probably stopped a panic, and that my own liabilities in the matter were pretty grave possibilities to face, he sympathized with me, and added that any help he could give me I might have. "I at once asked for five hundred men of the police force and also asked that he would instruct the superintendent of sewers to send me the bravest men he could spare, with their toppops, ladders, ropes and revolvers with them, so that, should the lion appear, any man could do his best to protect it at night. "We arranged that we should set out five minutes to twelve midnight, so that we might avoid any crowd following us, and so spreading the report. "At the appointed time the police and sewermen turned out, and I have never seen so many murderous weapons at one time in my life. Each man looked like a walking arsenal, but every one of them had been sworn to secrecy. "Then three trusty men and myself, accompanied by my giant bear hoard Mickey, would sewer through a manhole. It was as dark as a pocket. Suddenly Mickey barked and I heard close ahead a throaty growl and I knew that the lion was stoof. "In another second a terrific fight was raging between the boar hound and the lion. The dog got the worst of it and soon returned badly clawed and bitten "I went on with the fight myself. "I went on with the fight myself. "I taking off my big jack-boots, I put them on my hands and arms, and going up close to the lion was fortunately able to hit him a stinging blow on the nose with one of them. Fearing that he would split my head open with a blow from one of them, he moved to place over my head a large iron kettle which he had used to carry cartridges and other things to the sewer. "While he was trying to fix this, the kettle tipped and rolled over and went crashing down the sewer, making a noise and racket which echoed and resounded throughout the whole length of the narrow tunnel in the most appalling manner. "The lion, who had resisted everything else in the way of capture, at once turned tail like a carrion coward and raiding him the sewep, and gallop, was soon lost to sight as though the earth had suddenly swallowed him. We wondered where he could have gone, as he had not time enough to run far, but following him up, we found him in a sorry plight. THE LION "There was an eight-foot fall in the rear of the sewer, and this was evidently his reason for being so reluctant to turn back until frightened by the kettle. We did not know of this, and consequently tumbled headlong into it. "We were not hurt, and as the lion was now roaring terrifically we followed him up and soon found out the nature of his trouble. In the act of falling he had caught his hind legs and quarters in one of the slip-noses, which had been dropped down the manhole to secure him, and was hanging head downward from the manhole. "Other strong ropes were let down immediately, for he would soon have died in that position, and we were fortunate enough to secure his head and forepaws. The cage was then placed at the manhole, and when we had run the ropes through the cage and out of the manhole, we hauled, and in this unkingly fashion the king of beasts was dragged into his cage."—New York World. Unappreciated Applause. A few evenings ago a man who has some pretensions to the title of "spellbinder" was holding forth on a corner of Eighth avenue to an audience of workingmen. In the course of some feverish remarks he said: "This, my friends, is the party of the people; this is the truly honorable party! Where, I ask you, are dishonesty, corruption, fraud, rottenness, blackguardism and the scum of politics to be found?" "Hear, hear!" shouted an enthusiastic listener. "No, sir! Not by any means!" belied the orator. "There's none of it here! Soak the traitor, boys!"—New York Press.

All of Them Serve Properly Appointed Purpose Dr. Andrew Wilson writes: "If we assumed that flowers were merely evolved to gratify human senses we should be entertaining a woefully limited view of nature. The botanist will tell you that everything about a flower is meant to favor one end. That end is the production of seeds and the propagation of the species. The colors of flowers—nay, even the little splashes of a hue or that tint on a petal—are intended to attract insects that they may carry off the fertilizing dust, or pollen, to other flowers of the same, or near, species and thus insure a sturdier race as the result of cross-fertilization. It is to this end also that you are prompted. The perfume is another kind of invitation to the insect world. The honey they secrete forms a third attraction—the most practical of all, perhaps. Then the arrangement of the flowers on the stalk, the times of opening and shutting of the flowers and the position of the stamens and pistils, are all so many features whereby nature is giving each plant a help on the way." The Force of Example. A gentleman who has just returned from Guatemala vouchers for this parrot story. A good woman of the city had a bird which she prized highly, but it had one bad habit. Whenever she came in in the morning the bird would ejaculate: "Oh, I wish to the Lord the old woman was dead!" She confided to her minister and he suggested sending his parrot over, adding that by association the lady's bird would learn nice phrases. A day or two later, when this woman entered the room, her parrot ejaculated, as usual: "Oh, I wish to the Lord the old woman was dead!" The minister's bird cocked its head to one side and fervently added: "The Lord hear our prayer!" Beauteous Summer Earth has dotted the bridal ralmen that her virgin form arrayed. Failures in the ralmen are more than the shy and trembling mad; As the riz to the bluebell, as the heathen to the ling. As the sun shines to the twilight, so is summer to the spring. Golden on her golden bosom is the waving of the corn. Bright of the poppies that her comely waist adorn. And she stands in golden emerald that play among her trees. In the brilliance of the banner she is fainting. There is a honeyuckle gaitland bound about her shapely body. Sending down its scented tendrils with the roses and carnations in her tangled tresses we meet on the way to kiss her feet. Now she knows no thought of sorrow, and awaits the meeting of her body in the fragrant perfume in a breath of fragrant rose in a ruffling field of rye every moment of her sun-bespangled day. Where her silver fountain plays. Told Out of School. The infant terrible is always with us, and in making trouble runs a close race with the wagging tongue of scandal. Accompanied by her young hopeful a woman was calling on a friend who happened to live in one of a row of houses of exactly the same appearance. "The great objection to living in a row of houses," remarked the hostess, "is the liability of making a mistake. Do you ever have any difficulty, my dear." Oh, no." replied the little fend, breaking in unexpectedly. "Ma says she can always tell your house by the dirty windows." Found Curious Ring. Frank Munroe, of Porter, Mass., has a curious ring which he found near Whitman Lake. It is of wood and is in the form of a signet ring with a silver shield set in where the seal should be. Diamond shaped pieces of silver are also set in either side of the ring. Quite the Reverse. Singleton—"I say, old man, doesn't your spending so much time at the club get you in trouble at home?"

Show Artistic Excellence That Is Superior to the Work of the Egyptians — Hieroglyphics That Can Not Be Deciphered. Among the reliefs photographed by Herr Toeer Maler during his trips up the Usumatissima river, in Southern Mexico and Northern Guatemala, are carvings of gods or priests holding in the right hand a short staff which ends below in a snake's head and seems to support a small idol with a peculiar snort, or it may be merely a monkey. If monkey, certainly it is conventionally enough. The attitude is generally one of offering something to a deity, but not always. The mania usually have infinite head dresses and bushy plumes like the gods and priests and warriors; perhaps they wear masks having long noses or snouts. A lintel found at Yaschilan appears to represent an interview between the god Quetzalcacat and his priest. In the right hand of the god there is the curved stick or support ending in a snake's head, and this stick seems to connect with a belt round the waist of the small figure. The latter has anklets, wristlets, tight-fitting, patterned clothes, or perhaps merely decorations like tattooing on the limbs. The oddest thing of all is the fact that the priest has a manikin almost identical which he holds up to the god's manikin, so that they seem to be shaking hands or boxing with each other with raised hands. The effect is that of two pigmies or monkeys wearing masks held by broad girdles, and these supported by curved staves. In this sculpture Quetzalcoatl has a helmet and plumes nearly as high as himself, composed of the conventionally head of a serpent and the gorgeous feathers of the quetzal. He has what seems a transverse nose ornament, necklaces, a shoulder decoration or cape with medallions having faces a broad breast ornament, a still broader girdle with three large mask decorations, a skirt of sea shells and a long flamboyant girdle pendant falling almost to the ground between his feet. About opposite his thighs, which are partly bare, this pendant takes the shape of a flord cross. All the spaces not occupied by the two large and two small figures are filled with hieroglyphs no one has yet deciphered. Purely as decorations, these glyphs surpass anything known in other parts of the world. Those carved by the Egyptians, for example, are carefully handmade, and technically more work, but in artistic effect these must yield the palm to these mysterious records of bygone civilizations, owing to the symmetrical rounded forms of the latter and the solid ranks which are massed in varied squares. These afford a most pleasing contrast to the sweeping plumes of the headaddresses and the ornament suspended from the collar and girdles of the figures. When one imagines these extraordinary nary clever carvings, brilliant with colors, and the priests performing their solemn dances around the altars, with the idol standing or squatted in the dim niche behind, one can understand the power of this race of warriors and the power of the population that once animated one of the most fertile regions of Mexico and Guatemala—New York Times. WHEN LITTLE SISTER SCORED Had the Best of Argument in the Master of Noses. Out in the East End is a young woman whose little sister is much inclined to ask numerous questions, and though she is sometimes a little slow in asking, she is as quick to see a point as most little girls of six. The other day Little Sister asked Big Sister the direction to the home of a new acquaintance. Big Sister tried her best to make the way plain, to no avail and finally becoming exasperated, exclaimed: "Oh, follow your nose, Nan, and you will finally find the place." "Well, if you ever follow your nose," can be said, "you will go up, and up, and up, and be an angel by and by, which you're not now." Which reference to a nose inclined to be pug ended the controversy.—Pittsburg Gazette. The Newer Education. Have you ever had any other ambitions than clothes and marriage?

The whole thing in f nut shell is: Be colorblind in all your dealings with your fellow men Let a man be a man for a’ that and @ thst.” Be just. ‘We have read an article on the all- absorbing race question from the pen of Mr. Raymond Patterson in which he starts out with the first paragraph as follows: “Apparently the only way to prevent all danger of Negro domi- nation in the South is to educate, edu- cate, educate.” He also says: “T be: eve that an investigation of socalled cases of assaults upon women by Ne- groes will dévelop, in nine cases out of ten, that the Negro guilty of the terrible crime is almost invariably ts norant, I have yet to hear of an au- thenticated case where a really edu: cated Negro, who had been thrown in- to close contact with educated white people, had been guilty of the new and horrible crime with which the Ne- gro race Is now so generally charged.” Yet Dixon says: “An educated Negro is a monstrosity.” There is only one- seventh of the population of this coun- try that 1s credited with being “taint- ed” with Negro blood, yet this one- seventh is causing more trouble than the sixsevenths. It might be well to remark, however, that all the trouble originates with the six-sevenths, the oneseventh is sawing wood and say- ing nothing. ‘Winfield Baker, formerly of the mountains of Kentucky and who was a member of the Danville, Ill, mob and tried to shoot brave Sheriff Winlock, was convicted on last Tuesday of mur- derous assault, the penalty may be from one to fourteen years in the pen- itentiary. He has found that he must not bring his Kentucky methods to Mlinols. This is the first conviction of a member of the murderous, blood- thirsty, color-prejudiced mob that mur- dered and burned James Metcalf. Im- mediately after the verdict of the jury, which required but one ballot, Har- mon Mangold was criticising the court officials and he was arrested charged with inciting a riot. ‘Thus are the be- levers of law and order taking mat. ters in their hands in Danville. ‘The Nashville American says: “This is a white man’s country, but the white man must be just.” It is not likely that the Caucasian masses will even try to be, just so long as the American and other Sopthern papers are doing thelr best to create friction by declaring that the Afro-Amegican is inferior, and-that there must ‘be a separation, a difference, a distinction along all lines solely on account of color, * a Ciel __| THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AVHO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER” Oke 7-10) er REMMI od Socal its tn the arly Republe, By sel cbe PNR BY tah Halles itn Fe fee tries, he nan, Ree eaten ai a aR SR a iii te ee ass rare hay tis eta tae ha Soe total Bd, cree atcha ae Sain et tas cas Erasitn oe ence bets Seca sataraa Preeti i ata are Scere a ri HERS sea a ae san Mat ae ate Erotic Aa ete othe St ies aie ater ee seats ae sacioase aah Sa EB amteeks miaramecin aa ie oak Sees ATES coutee on Bolt Brau ae?

While "The Princes Chic," which comes to the Grand next week appeals equally to the skilled musical and the ordinary theatergoer who that the presentation of this Opera Comique is, in every city, a big social event. During the engagement of this company in San Francisco last spring, the Bulletin said, "It is merely wishes to be amused, it seems the best Comic Opera that has pleased the butterflies of fashion here for a long while. It is full of charming lyrics." While the cast of the "The King Comic" contains among other well known artists, Vera Bronte, George Lyman, Lyman Wheeler, Forrest Huff, Albert Mahar, Beatriz Bronte, Adèle Stoneman, Dorothy Williams and Julia Coles, still as Hamlet says: "The play's the thing." Julian Edwards which is a credit to American genius, but the libretto with its strong comic and dramatic interest, is the innovation which holds popular interest.

Clinton, Iowa, Aug. 24.—Mrs. Louisa Bugg, aged 101 years, is dead at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Carroll, in this city. In many respects she had a wonderful career. She born in slavery in Mulhall County, March 18, 1802. Her early life was spent in slavery in her native state and in Tennessee. She was married to Hiram Jones when quite young. In someone else never explained, Bugg purchased his freedom. He then went North and commenced a long and hard struggle to earn enough money to purchase his slave wife. However, he finally succeeded, and in Maury county, Tenn., in 1847, he paid her master $1,000 and secured her freedom. They immediately came North, reaching Clinton in 1859. Bugg, although ignorant, as far as book learning was concerned, was naturally a man of intelligence, and he prospered here. He opened up a restaurant and a house, and for a number of years conducted the finest establishment of the kind in the city. He died several years ago. In the city a few weeks ago Mrs. Bugg enjoyed good health and retained her faculties to a wonderful degree. She distinctly remembered the War of 1812 and other events of eighty or ninety years ago. A HENIOUS CRIME. James Hayes is Arrested on a Serious Charge—Afro-Americans Place Themselves on Record. William R. Morris acted as chairman, and the resolution adopted was: 'That the Afro-American citizens of the city of Minneapolis have read Last Monday the Twin Cities were thrown into an intense state of excitement by the accounts published in the daily papers of the committing of a heinous crime in Minneapolis by a man named James Hayes, a black man, and the feeling that there would be some mob volence. The history of the case is about as follows: Hayes is accused of entering the home of Mrs. J. P. Steele, No. 1414 Sixth street south, early Monday morning by climbing on a shed and entering a second story window by cutting away the screen. He then chloroformed, or attempted to chloroform Ruby Steele, a 14-year-old girl she was awakened when a handker SCENE FROM SCENE FROM "PRINCESS CITY" The Pl SEVENTH AND Forty-Fourth DUCTI Mark-Downs Suits, RE and $14.00 NEW 50.

The mother caught the girl by the foot and held on until the man hit her a stunning blow, knocking her down. He then took the girl out on the roof and threw her to the ground, a few feet below. He then took the girl through a corn patch to the barn where he was employed, where he was the girl's body and held his hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming and hooded her. At this juncture who had been called by Mrs. Stoele approached and Hayes ran away. Detectives were called and a watch was kept for Hayes, and shortly before 6 o'clock he attempted to enter the barn, when he was confronted by the officers and arrested. Hayes was arraigned in the police court Wednesday morning and when he was confronted by the girl, who is said to be more than fourteen years of age, she was far more affected than he, and showed signs of extinction. Hayes did not seem to be affected as he identified, but wished calmly away with the officers. His hearing was set for Thursday, but continued until today, because of the absence of Attorney L. F. McGhee, who with J. L. Curtis, Esq. have been retained to defend him. The Afro-Americans of Minneapolis have placed themselves on record as strongly condemning the crime of which Hayes is accused. The matter was taken up at a mass meeting of men held at K. P. hall, 104 Hennepin avenue, last Wednesday, evening Defective Page G. H. WALKER, Manager. Correct Dress for Men. William R. Morris acted as chairman and the resolution adopted was: "That the Afro-American citizens of the city of Minneapolis have read with sorrow, regret and humiliation of a dastardly attempt to commit a heinous crime in our city, and as the crime has been charged upon a member of the race, they wish to state in official, form that they deplore with unspeakable horror the brutal crime, and condemn it with all earnestness and as law-abiding citizens, offer their services, and, if necessity requires, in running down putting into the strong arms of the law any person guilty of any person charged with such a crime." The resolution was signed by the committee, who were Ed. Hammond, J. G. Armstrong, John W. Hooper. "PRINCESS CHIC" AT THE GRAND O Established 1882.

James Hayes was arrested Monday on a serious charge which has been fully proclaimed by the daily papers. He had since been called Thursday in the municipal court and continued until today. There was considerable excitement over the case which was heartily condemned by all good people. The intense feeling has somewhat subsided, however, as it seems there is in this case, as in all others, two sides to the story, and final judgment has been reserved until his hearing before a legal tribunal. CLOSE CALL. Preacher Respited Just as the Trap Was About to be Sprung. Cuero, Tex., Aug. 26—Rev. Sam Stiles, a preacher sentenced to hang today for murder, was respired for two days by Gov. Lhamam, but it was about as close a call as a human ever had. The message came to the sheriff as he was lowering the black cap over Stiles' face. He was standing on the trap, his feet and arms tied. He had made his speech protecting his innocence and shaken hands with his friends in a message reading: The request of Judge Wilson I have respired Sam Stiles for "days," was handed the sheriff. After hearing Stiles'诉 the sentiment is divided as to his guilt. Stiles is charged with having murdered Doomed Wards because of infatuation for his wife.

When the Manager of the Jones Es- sential Football Team is in Movement tate is Extertained in Newport. Aug. 19. Newport is to be called upon in a few days to entertain one of the leading Afro-American citizens and politicians of North Carolina. The gentleman is not coming to Newport on business, but on the invitation of one of the society leaders, and without a doubt, he will be entertained with a manner by the act, or at least some of them. The gentleman in question is Mr. Joseph Loftin, and his hosts will be Mr. and Mrs. Pamblebrokes Jones. It may seem strange that such a thing is to take place, but when it is known that Loftin has charge of Mr. Jones' estate at Arleigh, N. C., and that for some years he has met there and arranged entertainments for some of the social leaders it will not seem so strange. Loftin is looked upon as an uncrowned king in his section of the country, and he is one of the largest men in the South. He has never been North, and he has repeatedly asked Mr. and Mrs. Jones to arrange for a trip for him, and at the request of several of the cottagers that he arranged. He has worked his way up from the cotton fields to the management of one of the finest estates in the South. RS and MANUFACTURER HOLESALE GROCERS, ST. PAUL, MINN.
