A DOUBLE DOSE OF WHIPPING.
The Woman Having Fled, the White
Caps Gave the Man Enough for Both.

John Baxter, colored. and Mrs. Jennie Smith.
white. have been living together at Smithfield.
Pa, lately and have taken possession of the
house of Bakers old father driving the aged
man out of the home and compelling him to
sleep in barns. Recently the guilty pair re-
ceived notice signed white Caps" warning
them to quit the community or take the con-
sequences. Baxter thought he knew the writer
Of the notice and he wrote on the back Of it as
follows and mailed 1t to the party: Come on. I
dare You to come" and signed it Texas John"
The next of tho matter that Baxter heard Of
was rap at his door, which aroused him from
his midnight slumbers. He was confronted by
eight or ten sta!wart men, well masked, each
with n cowhide in hand. Mrs. Smith had needed
the warning and fed, but the invaders doubled
the dose on Baxter, administering to him one
of the most terrible beatings ever heard Of III

overpowered by numbers.

A DENIAL DENIED.
The Canadians Still Say That Bonding
Privileges Are Denied to Them.

The Toronto Mail says: Notwithstanding
the denial by the Washington authorities that
permission to ship Canadian goods in bond
through United States to Mexico was recently
refused our Montreal correspondent this MORN
ing repeats his statement to that effect and
gives what is considered conclusive proof OF
the fact. The suggested explanation that the
alleged denial of permission might have been
merely an intimation that the United States
laws prohibited the shipment Of explosives
through that country from one foreign coun-
try to another is worthless. in view of the fact
that when the permission was sought no men,
ton was made of the class OF goods it was pro-
posed to ship

both legs on the rest in front of him he puts
one on the stand, which is built Just the proper
height to accommodate each foot, the leg be-
ing in the same position as when you are seated

FRIGHTENED BY A GHOST.
A Panic Among Children I'm Berlin
Public School,.

great panic occurred yesterday in Berlin
in large public school in the Friedenstrasse.
Tho children were possessed by the idea that
the school house was haunted by the spirit of
former teacher who had committed suicide
many years ago. At noon girl of the first
class became hysterical and ran into the main
hail. crying out that the ghost was choking
her. All the pupils caught the nervous dread
and ran from all the class rooms. catching
franticalIy at their Threats and yelling out that
the ghost was attacking them. The teachers
were powerless to restrain the terrified
children and the staircsses were soon strewn
with them topping over each other. Fortu-
nately, the escapes being ample, they all
gained the street having received but slight
injuries. The school buildings are being
watched by the police in order to find out
whether any evil-disposed persons have been
personating ghosts to brighten the pupils.
