Freeman bases an important suit against
clubhouse" proprietors on the COM
plant that on March last her hus
band, Walter r. Freeman, was en-.
trusted by her with securities worth
SO 900, which he was to take to Boston
for investment. He converted the Sc

game. She began suit against Miles
n. Farren and John II. McCaull, the
reputed proprietors of the place, in the
Court of Common Pleas.
In her affidavit she says that she is in
formed that some prominent city officers
are interested in the establishment, and
she wishes to make them defendants.
She applied to-day to Judge Allen for
leave to examine the defendant before

complaint. The plaintiff says she pro.

Citizens object to It and Thrash the
Labor Agents.
RApEreH, N. c.. April 1O.-For some
time there have been threats that the
labor agents who have been carrying
off the negroes southwark in such i'm
mense numbers would be punished If
they did not desist Nearly all the
agents left the State early in March,
when the crop season began, and de.
clared that they would not return until
late next autumn.
They were warned that the farmers
would not submit to the disturbance of
labor at this season of the year, when
contracts are made and farm work is
actively in progress. One agent ven
tured 10 20 ahead despite the warning.
He made his appearance at the lltLlt
town of Scott yesterday morning. He was
waited upon by party of citizens, who
gave him a severe beating and made
him leave the place.

AN AMAZING SCENE.
A Hint of What MAY be Seen in the
Skies
From ne lir6nd for .lpril

From tie iTend for .IDrU.
Astronomers say that the fabulous
number of 20,000,000 stars all aglow
can be seen with q powerful telescope.
When we consider that the nearest of
these is 100000 times as far from us as
the sun, and that 1t would take from
three and. .ahalf to twenty one years for
the light which reaches US to cease, if
they were eXtinguished, we cannot grasp
and hold the vast conception in our
minds.
Yet it is supposed that each of these
is central sun with its own colony of
planets circling round it, which in size
are vastly superior to those of our own
solar system and are travelling through
space with such speed that 1t is impossi-
BILE for us to comprehend it, The star
Sirius is said to be moving tifty-four
miles second, or 1914, 400 miles per
hour, flaming mass, leading its brood
of planets through illimitable space.

vile, q small mining town near here.
The miners had gone to work about an
hour before, but luckily the cave-in
happened in the old workings. A space
about 100 feel square sunk to the depth
of forty feet, carrying with it several
outhouses. One of the buildings was
carried com pletely out of sight, while
of others only the roof could be seen.
The houses near by were badly
shaken, and in two different kitchens
the stoves were overturned, setting fire
to both buildings, but were extinguished

Where the omces Are.

From We CNicQOO Times,
A Minneapolis Republican journal
says that "the Republican party has the
offices and that is what is troubling the
Democrats" The Minneapolis editor
is mistaken. The Democrats are not
troubled and the Republican party has
not got the offices. Said offices are re-
posing in grandpa's hat and the Dem
ocrats just now are enjoying the
troubles of the Republicans who are
nosing about that ancient and well. worn

Idle Wooden Mills.

From he Sprtnafsld RepuJiicdR.
Careful estimates, says the American
Wool Reporter, place the number of idle
woolen looms as high as GO per cent. Of
the whole number. And this has come
about, it should be remembered, after
several changes had been made by the
Treasury Department in the direction of
increasing the tariff taxes on woods and
woolens. Is 1t very probable that still
higher taxes will remedy the situation?

A Shocking Condition of Affairs at an
Almshouse,


FALL RIVER, MASS, April 10.--Mary
Lahey was arraigned in the District
Court to. day for a disturbance of the
peace at Fall River Almshouse. The
prisoner told Judge Blaisdell that a
shocking conditioned affairs exists at
that institution; that inmates are
abused, things are unclean, that an idiot
boy is confined in a room ii to a
stake, wallowing in filth, and treated
like beast,
She says that she was confined in the
lookup for some petty offense, and
that the air in the cell was so vile that
she had TO smash the window to kee }
from suffocating. Judge Blaisdell or.
dered the case continued in order to
give Marshal Hilyard chance TO inves-
tigate the affairs at the almshouse.

A Plurality That WIN Grow.

From HE ITHkesjayrs EceAiHg Leader.
Rhode Islands peculiar law for the
election of minority candidates to State
offices gives the Republicans victory
there. But there are more Democrats

TO MORTAL couBAr.

The misunderstanding between John
NJ. Fleming of the Knoxville SeHtjHel
and James II. Phelan, a Tennessee Con-
gresham, is likely to be wiped out with
blood, or with the satirical imitation of
the ancient duello, which is becoming
popular in these halcyon days. AS Gus
toms go, no one wounds bis enemy any
more. He wounds his friend instead
y These encounters7H II they proceed no
further even than newspaper vap0fing
are O disgrace to all who are concerned.
Especially are they discreditable to
newspaper men, who, from numberless
instances of folly, may be expected to
draw wise differences.
Yet Mr.. Phelan is the owner of the
Memphis AcdlGnche and Colonel Flem-
ing has, for considerable period, been
connected with the Sentinel. What of
truth can the outcome of their
quarrel establish?
The bone of contention, so TO speak,
is history of Tennessee, written for
school purposes, by Mr.. Phelan The
book has been very severely criticized,
and Mr.. Phelan has retorted on his
prosecutors in kind. He has retaliated
by saying that 'the half-witted editor
of the Sentinel does not know the diff
ference between fact and an opinion I"
Altogether, the case seems to call for
arecourse . 10 the code of honor. 1t is
a ease of coffee and pistols for two.
Only the charges in those pistols should
be blank cartridges and the result
should be unsanguinous.
