The Trouble at Jessup
Negroes Escaped.

News of the shooting of Woo Is spread like
wildfire, over town. confusion reigned for a
time, Jessup seemed to be in the hapds of
violent mob. Mayor Hobbs called a
meeting. and hssty arrangements made to
protect the town. Seventy five armed men
gathered in n few minutas and followed
Brewer and party into the swamp. McMil-
Ian bay covers over 400 acres, Brewer being
so familiar with its hiding places, the efforts
of the posse to locate him in the swamp are
regarded as vain. The posse was increased
by at least % armed men before an hour
had elapsed. a picket line WAS formed. to
prohibit any body from coming out of the
swamp to the town. Brewer had threatened
the life of Assistant Marshal Barahill,
since that officer kiile Brewer's pals few
weeks ago. while attempting TO arrest =
colored man for gambling.
Later Dispatches.
A special from j ssup to the Morning
News says: Mayor Hobbs has called a
public meeting to take steps to defend the
town tonight. II is believed that Brewer
is near here with large force of negroes
The citizens are organizing ard srming to
aid the Brunswick Rifles in case Of an out
break A special train was run out to the
brickyards, where Brewer was reported
seen. and detachment of armed men sent
out rs scouts. Mayor Hobbs received
telegram from Brunswick saying Ryan the
white man who is supposed 10 have insti
gsted the trouble, is in that city the mayor
will not take steps to have Ryan brought
back There is still great excitement
throughout the country around Jessup but
affairs will doubtless quiet down in a few
days 1t is in the II gion of turpeatine dis
tiileries and sawmil!s. Here are thous-
ands OF negroes employed, and the Jessup
trouble is apt to disorgsnize labor for some
time to come.
News has reached the authorities that j.
W. Ryan. a white man living there, was
the instigator of the atfray. A posse was
sent TO his home to arrest him but Ryan
had made his escape.
The most reliable information is that ten
people we're killed at Jessup, namely;
Barphill and Woods by Brewer Anderson
accidently, (white) ; Johnson, Hops and
Eluett (colored), and two whites, and two
negroes, their names not given.

Various Hints Concerning Diet.

Children, especially young girls, are
rarely properly dieted. There is almost
universally a repugnance to meat and a
hysterical liking for sweets or acids, that
is unhealthy. When nerves cry for food,
they are given stone, and rebel in con-
sequence. A plentiful supply of meat
should be eaten at least once daily, and
this ut breakfast, when the body needs
bolstering for the days work, and when
the digestive tract is empty. Taken then,
with moderate exercise, such food is
promptly assimilated and goes where it
does most good, directly into the blood.
I heartily approve of late suppers, and
am convinced that the human animal,
like others, sleeps best upon stomach
filed with light, digestible food. OF
course there are idiosyncrasies; there are
many kinds Of people, and the kind of
food proper for one would not suit
another; yet there need be no departure
from the rule. An elderly lady came to
me not long ago and said that it was no
manner of use; she could not sleep if she
ate anything before she went to bed.
'What had you for supper last night,
madama' asked.
Oatmeal porridge, DOCTOR"
"Well, you could not have had any
thing better calculated to keep you
awake. In the first place, oatmeal, no
matter how prepared, is devoid Of nutri-
ton to any one save the very strongest
aud hardest working Of men. It de-
mands for conversion into chyle an
amount Of nerve power that no invalid
owns and few well people can give; in
every other instance remaining un-
changed in the bowels until elected as a
foreign substance. Do not touch 1t
again. Try instead broiled bird or
lamb chop, with bit Of toast
And the change was all she needed to
make her sleep peaceful.-William F..

The Recall of the Hawks.

The recall was interesting and forms
one of the most wonderful features in
hawking. 1t was achieved by the fall
coner calling out several times with a
loud, far reaching cry, "coomabee COON
abeer' an evident corruption Of 'come
(or coome) my bird" The falconer's
voice at once arrested attention as being,
from long practice, what authorities de-
clare it ought to be, ''full, clear and loud"
If not "tremulous;" whence he was des-
ignated as "the sonorous falconer."
These qualities were more than once re-
quired that day when the hawk few
afar; but PETERS voice never failed to
reach her and secure her return.
The cry varied with different men and
in different places, being with some a
long drawn shot hot" and with others
"hool ha-ha-hal' all, however, being
known as the "hollowing'' Of the fall
coner. In this first encounter the recall
was quite successful, for, in spite Of her
disappointment and lowering watchfully
for the temperance of the lost quarry,
the hawk at once obediently returned to
the falconer's wrist. She was then
smartly hooded and set upon the cage,
for both the falconer and the laird sue
cessfully achieved this rather difficult
feat. There she took her place In silence,
and apparently without discomposure,
among her fellows, who had betrayed
not the slightest excitement during this
clamorous passage of arms. - Good
Words

Tho Detectives of Berlin.

Tho detectives of Berlin arc tho
nearest approach in stolidity to those
of London. There is really very little
crime in the German empire, on ac-
count of the extraordinary sentences
that are imposed and the strict mill
tary discipline that prevails through
out the empire, and which has its
highest development in Berlin. On
this account the most experienced and
capable detectives are taken out Of tho
criminal service as rapidly as possible,
and promoted to tho official depart
ment.
Their duties consist solely in watch
ing socialism and guarding eminent
Germans from bombs and dynamite.
Bismarck, for instance, never travels
without the protection of ut least two
of the crack officers of the detective
corps, and, when be takes ride in tho
park, or even ventures on a short
official visit to one of the departments,
q man Irecedes and follows him. The
vigilance is severe and thorough. The
emperor, 1 may remark in passing, is
never guarded by detectives but his
personal staff hover about him in a
fashion that renders any interference
from Nihilists or Socialists well nigh
impossible. AS to tho skill of the Ger
man detectives, it cannot, / think, be
compared for q moment with that OF
the police of Paris or New York.-New
York Cor. Globe-Democrat.
