AN AERONAuT'S FATE.
At Atlanta His Balloon bursts, Ho Falls In


River and Ia Drowned.
COLUMBUS, Ga, Nov. "a B. r. Wander
grift made an ascent in balloon from the
exposition grounds, In the presence Of IL, 900
people, Thursday. When the balloon
reached height of about three thousand
feet it burst and began falling. With great
presence of mind he cut his parachute loose
from the balloon, and shot to the earth with
the speed of an arrow. It seemed to the
spectators that the parachute would never
open. Down it came for several hundred
feet, when it began to open, and the crowd
breathed easier. Then all eyes were turned
to the river, a source Of new danger. A
stiff wind was blowing and the parachute
seemed in imminent danger of being over
turned, but the man kept it above him.
1t was impossible. however, to prevent
descent into the swift flowing stream. The
parachute settled about three hundred feet
from the west bank. A bateau, coming up
stream with two men, attracted the atten-
ton Of the Sailers, and he cried "Save me,
save me-" The two men went to the rescue
of the drowning man as swiftly as possible.
Vandergrift caught the edge of the frail
craft and attempted to draw himself up, but
his efforts partially overturned the boat,
which began filling with water. The two
oarsmen rushed to the opposite end of the
boat, and by some means VanderCrift lost
his hold and sank. His body has not yet
been recovered. He had been in the bust

Yves. Indies. fines. Mixed Race.

A population fantastic, astonishing--a
population of the Arabian Nights. AS
the general tone of hetown is yellow, SO
is the general tint Of the people yellow,
in the interblending Of all the hues char
acterizing griffone, mulatresse, metissc,
messive, chabine, capresse, quadroon---
general effect of rich brownish yellow.
You are in population of half breeds,
the finest mixed race Of the Antilles.
Tall, supple, straight as palms, these
colored women and men impress you
powerfully by their dignity of carriage
and easy elegance Of motion. They
walk without any swinging of the shout
ders; the perfectly set torso seems to re-
main rigid; yet the step is a long, full
stride, and the whole weight is poised
springily on the very tip of the bare foot.
All, or nearly all, are without shoes; the
passing of all these hundreds of naked
feet makes great whispering sound
over the burning pnvements.
But what produces the most novel i'm
preston on the stranger is the singularity
and brilliancy of the women's costumes.
They were developed at least a hundred
years ago by curious sumptuary law,
regulating the dress Of slaves and col
ored people Of free condition, law
which allowed considerable liberty as to
material and tint, prescribing only form.
But these fashions suggest the Orient;
they offer beautiful audacities of color
constrasts; and the coiffure, above all, is
so strikingly eastern that you cannot
help wondering whether it was not first
introduced into the colony by some Mo-
hammedan negro slave. --Lafcadio Hearn
in Harper's Magazine.

LONDON, Nov 24.--The denuncistion Of
the tritk alliance which came from the
secret meeting Of workingmen at Milan,
shows the animus Of organized labor toward
the disastrous policy Of the sovereigns OF
Europe Workingnen all over the continent
have been uneasy at the signs and rumors OF
war, at the increase Of army credits and al
the prospects of a still greater expenditure
cApubIic money for the maintenance OF
aimed forces. They have become Disguised
at the hollow pretenses Of peace, while on
all sides active preparations for war are
being made.
The protest from Milan Is but the begin
ming Of vast movement, on the. part of all
classes Of laborers. The time is ripe for
such movement, and it is stated on reliable
authority that the organized labor societies
OF Europe, irrespective of nationality OF
policies, have in contemplation plan OF
concerted action in regard TO the all-absorb.
ing question of the day on the continent
that Of increasing armies and strengthening
navies. "a
The workingmen have awakened TO the
fact that 1t Ia at their expense that large
forces are kept to crafty kingly ambition,
and are determined to utter such q protest
against the growing evil as will mako poll

mand more schools for the education Of their
children and a reduction of taxes In the

The workingmen are the bone and sinew

 CHICAGO, July $0-The Socialist ''town meeting" yesterday afternoon was sort of revised edition of the old time lake front Anarchistic gatherings J. z. White elected himself chairman, eut was promptly deposed, and "Dynamite' Dusey took tho chair He started ill to make speech in the usual vein, but was notified that he was called upon to act as chairman, no5 to make speeches.
 A man named Lasher then charged that the meeting was called for tho purpose of turning the labor vote ovor to the Democrats, and he wouldn't stand it. He was an Anarchist and always ready to act one, and he wouldn't listen to any proposition in- volving amalgamation with q party which numbered among it's members that hog, Grinnell." It was said that Gen. Palmer, the Democratic candidate for governor, if elected, would pardon out the imprisoned Anarchists That was also nonsense. Ut was those same fellows who hung-murdered our comrades" Prolonged appause.).
 Secretary Stevenson agreed wi;h Mir. Lasher He had heard that Palmer would do away with the PinkertonS, but Palmer couldn't do it. I've must, said Stevenson, 'arouse public sentiment so that people will arise and kill the d---d thieves"
 Stevenson then offered q resolution de- nouncing any attempt to steer the labor vote into either the Democratic or the Republican party.
 ''Joe" Gruenhut attempted to speak against the resolution, but was howled down. This was also the case with eX-Representative Rohrhack
