arrogance of the warrior will be meas.
ured to the thickness of his plates OF
armor and power of his gun.
What the exigency of the times may
call the most urgently for to-day, may
like John Roach's immense marine
works in Philadelphia, be set aside
tomorrow. Fearing the inevitable
changes that may follow experiments
in the great guns, &C., and not willing
to risk their capital in the newest
marine art inventions of the day, the
Americans citizens have thus far ro.
fused to enter Government contracts
without guarantee against loss.
If the great powers of earth are not
willing to divest themselves in some
degree of the inclination to show
which can build the largest guns, then
the United States must line her shores
with embrasured steel and enter brisk
ly the rivalry of climbing the loftiest,
or going further into the depths than
was ever before reached by man, and
enter the coming process of being CO.
workers with the powers of darkness
in sowing the wind and reaping the
whirlwind for the next fifty years.

A missionary stationed mt one of.the
South Sea Islands determined to give
his residence a coat of whitewash. To
obtain this, i'll the absence of lime,
coral was reduced to powder by burn
ing. The natives watched the process
of burning with interest, believing that
the coral was being cooked for them
to eat. Next morning they beheld the
miseionary's cottage glittcring in the
rising sun, white as snow. 1t was SO
beautiful in their eyes that they
danced, they sang, they screamed with
joy. The whole island was in a COM
motion. Whitewash became the rage,
and happy was the coquette who
could enhance her charms by a daub
of the whitewash brush. Then con-
tentions arose; one party urged their
superior rank; another obtained DOS
session of the brush and valiantly held
itagainst all corners; a third tried to
upset the tub in hfs eagerness to get
some of the precious cosmetic. At
last, to quiet the hubbub, more white
wash was made, and in a week not a
hut, a domestic utensil, II war-club or
garment but was as white as snow
not an inhabitant but had skin
painted with grotesque designs; not q
pig that was not whitened; and moth
ers might be seen in every direction
capering joyOusly and fairly yelling
with delight at the beauty of their
whitewashed babies.

A Vinegar Well.
[Clevcland Leader. I

lCleveland Leader.
There is great excitement here over
the fact that one of the public wells of
water has turned into we'll of vinegar.
Mr.. Carney, a gentleman in the en-
ploy of boot and shoe firm, went to
the well as usual last Wednesday
morning to get water for sprinkling
the floor of the store, and in pumping
saw that the water had peculiar red
color, but thought nothing about it
until he drew some to drink. He took
a good swallow of it, and found that
he was nearly strangled. Others tasted
OF it, and the news soon spread to all
parts of the city, and in short time
the citizens were focking to the well
and carrying home what seemed to be
good quality of vinegar. One enter
prising grocery firm here has already
filled 100 barrels with it, and propose
to put it on sale. Farmers are COM
ing in from all parts of the country,
and taking home with them thousands
of gallons. What seems more surpris-
ing is the fact that the flow OF vinegar
is greater than was the flow of water.
The earth wave last Tuesday was felt
very perceptibly here, and all attribute
the phenomenon to the convulsion of
nature.

WHERE IS THE OTHER SIDE?-A
Boston newspaper asserts that, in
GreenOugh's statue of Benjamin
Franklin, one side of the bronze face
exhibits features of the man who wrote
philosophical axioms and the other
gives the expression Of the scientist
who drew the lightning from the
clouds. This is all very we'll as far as
it goes. But where is the side which
presents Franklin as the gay Lethario
who lived in clover among the fair but
frail beauties OF Marie Antoinette' 5
court, and who all his life long was up
to his neck in love scrapes? That was
the true and genuine Franklin, and to
represent him properly would require
a wink of the eye that the Widow But.
Ter might envy. Franklin was a good
deal of man-as the ladies of his day

by single Arrest-Fall of PrOfesso Or
of Music at Jacksonville.
MILLEN, GA, Sept. 14.-A tragic cor
roboration OF the truth of the old adage
line OF the Central railroad, in this
State. At Rogers, three weeks ago,
during the absence OF her husband,
Mrs. Thomas Willis, living at Rogers,
was assaulted In her house with Grim
inal intent by negro. Mrs. Willis de-
Tended herself with a gun. which she
used as a club, but was ON the point OF
being overpowered by the burly brute,
when negro girl, armed with an AK,
rushed to her assistance, dealing the as
sailant several severe blows on the head
The two women, after desperate COM
bined struggle, put the negro to flight.
AS he ran he seized the gun and fired at
the females, but the shot failed to do any
harm.
Despite the efforts Of many posses be
made good his escape, carrying the gun
with him. Tuesday afternoon Edward

weapon carried off by Mrs. Willis assail-
ant. The negro was arrested, but denied
all knowledge of the Willis outrage. 1t
was decided to send him to Milen for
sale keeping. On his arrival at
the depot there he was recognized
by O lad named Brinson as the negro
who had outraged his sister, aged II
wears, near MIllen year ago, the burly
brute having sprung from a thicket by
the roadside as the children were going
to school, and dragged the girl into the
woods to accomplish his purpose. The
girl was sent for, and on seeing the negro
on the depot platform identified him, and
fell in a fainting fit. II was a foregone
conclusion that lynching would
follow, and an extra strong
guard was placed around the
jail last night to prevent 1t il possible.
During the night the prisoner confessed
his guilt in the Brinson case and stated
that he had obtained the gun which led to
bis arrest from a negro named Berry
Wigg. Wigg, who bears a bad reputa-
tion, was working in the cotton fields
about Millen when Wilkerson was
arrested, but upon hearing of the
charges against Wilkerson imme-
diately disappeared and has not
been seen since. Other links in this SEN

by a band of fifty masked and Well-armed

A similar fate is in store for Wigg when
captured.

Cheaper Freight Rates.

ing passenger traffic from New York to
the south and Southwest will be made to-
morrow by the Commissioner OF the
Trunk Line pool, who will announce a
general reduction OF from 81 TO ST
10 all Southern and Southwestern
points. This is caused by the
fact that the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia air line has grown restive
under continued cuts made by the Balti-
more and Ohio via Cincinnati and in re-
cognition OF the rights of the East Ten
nessee. Virginia and Georgia road this
reduction Is allowed by the trunk lines.

ALBANY, GA, Sept. 16.-The cannon
ball train on the Southwestern railroad
left Montgomery one hour and a quarter
late. When it reached here at 2 O'Clock
this morning 1t was only twenty minutes
behind and coming at the rate OF a mile a
minute. As il turned the curve before

SAMUEL j. RANDALL.
A Quiet Movement in Philadelphia
TO Prevent his ke-eleCtion.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-There is a
quiet movement in Philadelphia to pre-
vent the reelection OF Samuel j. Randall
to the House of Representatives this fall.
1t seems almost improbable that the 1900
majority which Randall had two years
ago can be overcome even by such ener-
getic efforts as are now being made to de-
feat him. But men who are engaged in
1t are sanguine that they will at least be
able to cut down his 1900 majority very
materially. They rely partly upon the
great dissatisfaction in the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania and partly upon the
special dissatisfaction which RandalPs
appointments in Philadelphia have
created. just now all the business men
OF Philadelphia are In a state of mind be-
causes Postmaster Harrity, one OF Ran
dalPs appOintees, has gotten the post
office into confusion by appointing lot
OF greenborns to do the work OF experts.
All the newspapers, without regard to
politics, are talking about the delays in
the post office. This is q sample of the
mistakes RandalPs appointees have made.
There rs another thing which will work
against Randall, although it is not given
as much prominence in the calcula-
tions of his opponents-it is
the gradual but steady growth
of revenue reform ideas In the city of
Philadelphia within the past two years.
But whether they succeed in beating him
or not this fall, the opponents OF Randall
insist that he will not be able, when the
reapportionment of the Congressional
districts is made next winter, to secure,
as he has done heretofore, just such a
district for himself as he desires. IL this
is not mis- last term in Congress, they say,
the next will be.
The only patent issued to anyone in
Georgia, South Carolina or Florida to-day
was that to Wilbet j. Dennis, Augusta
Ga, for plant and tree culture apparatus.
