Did He Swear at the President?

Washington Letter TO Baltimore a nlericdn.
A story is in circulation here that soon
after the rejection of Matthews Senator
Harris, OF Tennessee. went up to see the
President about an appointment in his
State which some Of his constituents were
interested in. He stated his case, and the
President replied: "Well, it seems to me
that you have good deal of assurance to
come here asking for an appointment
when you voted against my man Mat
thews." The Senator got bot in a second.
'''ll have you know, Mr.. President" he
said, ''rhat it is none of your business
what l do or do not do in the Senate.
am the master, sir, of my own actions
there, as you are here. By G., sir,
didn't come here asking any favors OF you
on any personal grounds. The people of
the State of Tennessee. whom l represent,
asked me to do this, and that is why came
here. You may do as you d. please, sir,
about the matter; but, SIR, 1 want it dis
tinctly understood that what | do as a
Senator is beyond your jurisdiction"
And the irate Senator bounced out. He
had voted for Matthews, but the Presi-
dent had made him mad, and he d i'd not
choose to make any explanation.

On Friday last Grace Darling's only

shadow OF marlborough Castle. within
sound of the wild waves that beat against
Holy Island and the rock that wrecked
the Forfarshire. The simple and pious
old lady 70 the last. like the heroine her.

had been said about the PLAIN act of dury

She has been laid in the seaside church
yard, close to the sister who died so young
forty years ago, and whose marble effigy
lies in the sea wind and sun, with her oar
upon the folded arm. A gray stone wall

Lynched in a Jiffy.

GREENvILLE, TEX, Sept. 3.-Deputy
Sheriff Adair, who was frightfully carved
by John Smith Saturday last while the
who had escaped from the Hunt county
jail, Of which Smith was one, died
Wednesday, Sentinels had been sta
toned for two days in different
parts of the city to give an alarm
as soon as Adair should die. One hour
after Adalr's death an armed mob was on
its way to the jail. No resistance was
offered. Smith was taken some distance
from the city and hanged. The lynching
was without incident, everything passing
off in an orderly manner.

WILL MARRY A KING.
An African Princess Who Has Been
Reared by Missionary.
From Washington Letter.

Reared by Missionary.
From Washington Letter.
Down in Hanover county, Va, not
many miles from this city, is an African
girl who Is destined to marry king. At
the present time she is a member OF the
family OF the Rev. Curtis Grub, an Epis-
copal clergyman, who many years ago
went out from Loudoun county, ' a., as
missionary to Western Africa. While
there, he and his wife became very much
attached TO little girl, a princess OF the
nation among whom they were prose-
cutting their work, and when it came time
for them to return to their home in Amerl-
ca they asked permission that the
child should accompany them. She was
then not more than eight or nine years OF
age. Her father, when first requested to
allow his daughter to come to America,
gave his consent, 1t may be not thinking
that the missionary and his wife were
serious IN their intention OF taking the
child home with them, but when it came
time for the departure he did not want
her to go. He was told that he had
promised that she might be taken by the
missionary. 1t is a cardinal principle
among the tribe that premise once made
cannot be broken, If 1t is insisted upon;
so the father reluctantly gave his consent
named it Nettie, after his own wife,
and treated 1t more as a plaything and
curiosity than as servant. Though
having children of their own, the lit
tie African girl was treated as though OF
the same kith and kin, and looked up to
the missionary and his wife as though
they were her own parents. She made
progress in education, and learned the
ways of Americans with amazing rapid
ty. Greater pollteness could not be ex-
pected of a Partisan than she always
displays. Never can she be induced to
pass in front OF any one, and whenever
she hands anything to person it is her
lnvariable custom to first fall upon her
knees in an exaggerated courtesy. She
q now IA years old, and has arrived at the
age when she would be eligible to mar
rage II still among her own people.
Ever since she came TO America a cor
respondence has been kept up between
Mr.. Grubb and his successors in
Africa, and thus her friends have heard
from her and she from them. In letter
recently received Mr.. Grub was request
to give his consent that little Nettie might
return to her native land that The king of
her country might marry her. This re-
quest will probably be complied with, If
the child herself can be induced to give
up her American friends. to whom she is
very much attached. She is we'll edu-
Gated for one of her years, and fully under
stands the manners and customs OF civil
lied life; and should she become the wife
of the king, there ia no telling but she
would have a powerful influence in up
lifting her people from their present deg
radiation,

STATEMENT OF A SCIENTIST.
Prof. Powell to the British Asso'
citation at Birmingham.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Prof. Powell
received by cable to-day a request from
Secretary Topley, of the British Associa-
ton for the Advancement OF Science, to
"wire the chief facts Of the earthquake"
The following was sent:
~Mr. Topley, British Association, Bir-
mingham, England:
''The earthquake was the most severe on
record in the United States. and affected
the greatest area. Its origin was along
the line of post-quaternary dislOcation,
on the eastern TANKS Of the Appalachians,
especially where 1t crosses central North
Carolina. Slig hit premonitory shocks were
felt In the CarOlinas for several days,
and moderately severe shocks occurring
near Charleston Aug. q and %. The
principal shock, causing the great
destruction in Charleston, original
ed in central North Carolina Aug. 81,
at $3.50 O'Clock at night, seventy-hth
meridian time. Thence the shock spread
with great rapidly in all directions, with
velocity varying from twenty-five TO six.
ty-fve miles a minute over an area of
300. 900 square miles, one-quarter of the
United States, embracing twenty-eight
states, from the Gulf of Mexico to the
great lakes and southern northeast and
from the Atlantic TO the Central Nj ssis-
sippi valley. In the Caroltnas II
was accompanied by land slides,
oYevasses and great destruction OF
property. Half of Charleston
is in ruins. More than 40 lives were lost.
No sea wave is yet reported. A second
moderately severe shock was felt at
1922 O'Clock In the morning on Sept. l..
Minor shocks followed at increasing
intervals. The principal shock was felt
over this vast area within 10 minutes, and
may be recorded at some OF the principal
points on the scale of Intensity of . as
follows: Raleigh at 8 80 p. m., Charles
ton 3 at 9:54 p. M, Cedar Keys 2 at 1905
p. M. Knoxville at 8: 100 p. M, Memphis
at 8 :55 p. M, st. Louis at 1906 p. M,
Milwaukee at 1905, Pittsburg 8 at 10 p.
N, Albany = at 10 D. M; Springfield,
Mass, IL at 10 p. M, New York at 9:53
p. m. POWELL"
Prot. Powell has already received about
100 reports from observers in various di-
rections respecting the earthquake and
several hundred more are expected. Their
substance is to be recorded upon maps,
which, when completed, are expected TO
show, with a close approach to absolute
accuracy. The points of elimination aud
direction of the earth movements as well
as the boundary OF the affected area.

NO CHANGE IN TIFF SITUATION.
There is no special change in the situs-
ton this morning. There were two shocks
but very light ones, during the hlS1t'
There is little more confidence felt taah
there was yesterday. The sympatnetlc
articles in the newpapers and the ohers
of aid from different quarters, are great
encouragement to the stricken people,
WHAT rs NOW NEEDED.
The most urgent need now is FOR the
Aarly repair OF injured buildings so as 70
make them habitable. High winds and
heavy rains would bring many shattered
buildings 10 the ground. A storm oil
rain would injure hundreds OF resi-
dences which have defective roofs. IL
would be OF great service If corps OF
government engineers could be sent mere
at once to examine houses and other
buildings, and determine which of them
can be safely occupied or allowed to stand.
The local architects have their hands more
than full.
TENTS FOR THE HOMELESS.
The President has authorized the Sec
eetary of ar TO send here hundred
tents, but more than that number are
needed.
tbs reported that there was severe
shock at Summerville this morning, but
the report is not yet authenticated.
Many representatives of leading jour
mails are here to write up and photograph
the city. The situation does not appear
to have been exaggerated when 1t ia
viewed carefully and with full under
standing of the fact that so many thou
sands OF people will be homeless for
time at least, and so many OF the houses
will have to be taken down and rebuilt,
and so many others will not be habitable
until greatly strengthened.

woMEN's FATAL PRUDERY.
Two Women Who refused to Save
Naked Man from Drowning.

Two Women Who refused to Save
a Naked Man from Drowning.
BEVERLY, MASS, Aug. 3l.-Har d.
Smith, AGED II, Of Chelsea, son of mcr-
chant doing business on Broad street,
Boston, was drowned yesterday after
noon al Lake Idlewild, Wenham, under
circumstances which torcihly illustrate
the supreme idiocy which takes possess
sion OF many people in times of crisis.
Smith was spending his vacation at HAM
iltoE. He went in swimming at the lake
with some companions, was taken with
cramps and called for aid. The boys
thought he was trying TO fool them and
only laughed at him. Smith repeatedly
shouted that he was not shamming and
begged them for Gods sake TO save his
life. Finally his mates realized his
danger and endeaVored to secure assist
ance.
Not far from the spot where Smith was
struggling in the water WAS a boat con
tanning two young men and two young
women. The former started To row TO
Smiths assistance, but the young women
were suddenly smitten with senseless
modesty and refused to allow their escorts
20 row near TO Smith. "Nou -hall not,
you shall not" they scfc,.n"d; "take
that naked man into tots ruNt." The
young men were compelled 10 row their
female companions ashore before helping
Smith, and subsequently reaching the
spot Smith had sunk for the last time.
His body wac recovered in an hour, but
all efforts at resuscitution were futile.
While the body was being recovered
Smiths mother was suffering violent avs
terics on shore, requiring the attention OF
n physician and several helpers to hold
her back from the water and stifle her
screams. Al the same time one Of the
over-mOdesJ Young woman was pacing
the depot platform, biting her lips and
occasionally dashing away "A tear with
her delicate. ieweled hand.
