THE grand jury at Raleigh, Smith
County, found true bill of murder last
week against Anthony Thomas, the ne
gro who killed Miss Leila Lotion some
time since. He was arraigned and plead
guilty. The judge sentenced him to

being taken to Jail he was taken from
the Sheriff and deputies and rope put
about his neck, when Judge Mayors and
Hon. A. j. McLaurin addressed the mob

Strikers.
CHICAGO, May 3.-The threatened
strikes in this city, which may be said
to have begun Thursday, when organ
lied labor took its holiday, were not
made apparent till yesterday morning,

be seen, and they had entire possession.

ty-sixth and Rockwell streets, is out

particular reason is assigned by the
manufacturer for their quilting. A
committee consisting of two men from
each department was appoin ted to wait
upon the officials, but they seemed disin-
clined to consult their employers.
At the great Mccormick reaper works
about fifty molders went out, but work
progressed as usual.
At the Chicago car wheel foundry and
the Wells & French car shops every one
of the 1000 employees went out and the
shops were closed. The 200 blacksmiths
were the only ones who made known
their demand, which was for eight
hours day.
From 5000 to 4, 900 sash, door and blind
men walked out of the various factories
in the southwest lumber district. The
action was apparently without warning.
Four hundred men in Deman &
Hurka's furniture factory struck for
eight hours, and 100 employees of the
Chicago Cottage organ factory did the
same for like cause.

Miss Helen Gladstone, daughter of the
statesman and vice president of Sidgwick
Hail. We are allows TO copy Miss
Gladstone is an exceedingly original person.
In looks she resembles her father, and she
has, l fancy, his vitality. She is always
laughing, joking, telling stories. She keeps
the high table in a roar. Indeed, whenever

Gladstone is not about, and she generally is.
She Is utterly regardless of dress, comes

''She seems frank, sympathetic kindly
and has great magnetism" continues the
writer. ''Strcams of power flow out of her

Switzerland recognize the principles OF

The tro-German alliance proved
that this fright must be interpreted
with moderation. Emperor William had
expressed this view during his visit 10 He'll

war in its train. Europe would not await
