HOT SHOT FROM BOSTON.


Capitalism Bombarded by the United
Forces of Intellect and Humanity,
There is in Fall River Scotcbman
whose name, John Brown, is well borne
by its owner That he was raised in the
ministry and therefore belongs to a
profession which in large degree is
responsible for the degradation of the
working classes and their humble sub
mission to capitalistic tyranny, rather
enhances the value of his personal SER
vices to the cause of labor. In the con.
flicts of operatives with the Christian
lords of the cotton industry, he at least,
stands not less boldly on the side of the
weak than the Carpenter of Nazareth
did in his time. He is, we are told, a
man of action as well as of words. and
has done more than preaching or pray
ing for the relief of the oppressed. For
all practical purposes he is, in fact, a
Socialist and proud to be one. At a
recent meeting in Boston, beneath the
portrait of Wendell Phillips in the
rooms of the Massachusetts, Woman
Suffrage Association, he gave a fair
sample of his oratory. "The Christian
ity of our day." said he, "is anti ti.socia.
1t does not attempt to make the branches
of the tree of life spread out widely and
symetrically, but trains them over the
powerful and the wealthy to the exclu.
sion of the weak and the poor. Inhu-
man employers of labor must be held up
to scorn and contempt; grasping
corporations, monopolies and trusts
must be splintered to pieces by the
lightning of moral law; corrupt legis.
latures and rulers must be swept away
from the face of the earth; all the
villainous thieves that now strip and
starve poor mortals must be driven
away or receive condign punishment.
The mission of Socialism is to emphasize
the brotherhood of man. The inequalities
created by mammonlsm we propose to
level to the dust. There is a wailing
cry coming up from the low depths of
society; the State must respond or there
shall come from those depths the old
prophetic voice: Woe to the people,
the temple and the city,"
Mrs. Abby M. Diaz followed with a
speech full of humor and happy hits.
The statement 80 often made, that
selfishness cannot be educated out of
human nature, is LIBEL" she said "The
first thing to do is to find out what the
education of a human being means
which we don't know now-and then to
make such an educa lJn, carried to its
highest possible point, compulsory. We
must teach humanity. The community
is now separated on the laye. system.
Those who have fine upholstery in their
houses ana wear fine clothes go together.
Humanity is arranged largely on an
upholstery basis. There is a great deal
of snobbery in religion. The charitable
institutions which are now our glories
will be considered our disgrace when
we reach the point where we look upon
all human beings as members of one
family. The temperance reform is the
most shiftless piece of business imagin.

A proposition has been made by zeal.
Gus officers to create reserve force, for
the purpose of doing "home duty" in
case the militia were called out. This
militia question is every day becoming
more interesting. As it appears to us
the proper way TO solve it is TO consider
this dilemma in the light of the Constitu-
ton: Either the militia should be dis
banded or every man able to bear arms
should be member of it,

slightly changed by later and more ex-

not be material. In 1880 the population
was 50,l55,7S3 The absolute increase
of the population in the ten years inter-

mysterious Disnppearance Of Man From
a savannah Notel.


SAVANNAH, Ca, Nov. 5 Savannah
may have a parallel case with that Of
DR.. Cronin, of Chicago. a young man
has been missing from the Pulaski
house for several days, and all efforts to
trace him have so far been unsuccess-
full. b. d. DeLeon, about 20 years old,
registered at the Pulaski Saturday, Oct
Ii, from st. GATHERINGS, N. S. He ap-
peared to have plenty of NJ ney and
was we'll dressed, and refir ID in his
mapners, and made numerous friends
He engaged rooms at the hotel for his
father, mother and sister, who, he said,
would arrive in Savannah about Nov. /.
After supper last Friday night he left
the hotel, and from that until the pres
ent time nothing has been heard of him,
and no trace of him even can be found.
The police were notified of DeIIeon's
mysterious disappearance, and have
been engaged for several days trying TO
get some information about him, but so
far have been unsuccessful. No one saw
him after he left the Pulaski house, and
he was apparently a man Of steady
habits.
1t is feared he has been foully dealt
with, or he would have made his way
back to the hotel, where he left large
trunk full of clothes, some of which
seem to have never been worn, besides
other articles
Every place it was thought possible he
might have gone has been visited, but
no clew can be had If the earth had

the officers went to the abode of Mahlon
Smith and found there shocking state
of destitution. The family consists of
Smith and five children. the Oldest proba-
bly, thirteen and the youngestiive years.
Their abode is located in the north
west part Of the city, and consists of a
hole dug out of bank, in which is
placed two large logs covered with
boards, and the space between and uu-
der the board filled with straw.
This serves for a bed. Their food
consisted wholly of parched corn. The
family are on the verge of starvation,
and are clothed in rags. So ravenous
are their appetites, the neighbors state,
that the children catch chickens and
birds and eat them raw.
The officers state that it would be inn
possible for humanity to attain more
wretched and degraded state and exist
than is found here. Smith is large,
abe-bodied man. but is too internal
lazy to work and is lounging about the
city, while his children are actually
starving. He has been given to under
stand that he must work and support
his family, or go to prison.

AS was the case ten yess.as ago. New
York still heads the list and is followed
by Pennsylvania. Ohio and Illinois
have exchanged places. OF the ether
changes in the list the most marked are
those Of Texas which Uses from No,
ii to No. z; Kentucky, which drops
from to IL; Minnesota, which rises
from 26 to 20; Nebraska, which rises
from 80 to 26; Maryland, which, drops
from g to 27; Colorado, which rises
from 35 to 81; Vermont, which drops
from 80 to SO; Washington, which rises

from 3S to AZ; Neyada, which drops
from 43 to 40, and Arizona, which drops
from "A to 4S. The average change in
rank is 2.2 places.
The general law governing the in
crease of population is, that when not
disturbed by extraneous cases, such as
wars, pestilences, immigration, enigra-
tion, etc., increase of population goes on
at Il continually diminishing rate. The
operation of this law in this country has
been interfered with in recent years by
the late war. which, besides the destruc-
ton of vast number of lives. de-
creased the birth rate very materially
during its progress. II was followed by
an increased birth rate, as is invariably
the case under similar circumstances.
The normal rate of increase has been,
and is greatly inferred with also by inn
migration, and it is difficult to estimate
the effect of this upon our rate Of in
crease. Approximation to it may, how
ever. be reached by the following pro-
cess:
Between 1890 and 1890, 5.9l6, ,6t3 i'm
migrated to this country. OF these a
part have returned to their homes or
migrated elsewhere. A considerable
proportion. probably about one-eighth,
have died On the other hand, chill
dren have been born TO them, and it is
probable that the births have counter
balanced the deaths and the emigra-
tiou. so that the influence which immi-
grafton has exerted upon our popula-
tion is approximately expressed by the
number of immigrants, Subtracting
this number from the numerical in
crease during the past decade, there re-
mains a triiie over 100000 t. repre-
sent the actual increase of the inhabi-
tants of this country in 1880. The rate
of natural increase is therefore not far
from "a per cent.
Similar calculations for the popula-
ton in 1850 and the decade preceding
would, of course, be valueless on ac-
count Of the impertections OF the census
of 1870.

TEMPLE OF TEMPERANCE.

CHICAGO, Nov. Q. The foundation
stone Of the Woman's Worlds Temper

trysting place Of the temperance adyo-
Gates Of the world, and which when
completed will be, next to the Audito-
riom, one of the largest and most inn
posing structures in the city, was form
ally laid Saturday with elaborate and
appropriate ceremonies.
This remarkable enterprise is the Off
spring Of the Woman's Temperance
Building association, composed Of Il
large number Of ladies belonging to the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
and in sympathy with Miss Frances
Willard and her policy. They have
raised the necessary funds by the sale Of
stock to Il total of 100000. In addition
to this they have secured loan Of
$500,00O, for which bonds have been is
sued.
But the holders Of the stock are under
obligations to sell it back to the associa-
tion ut any time within twelve years,
and us it is estimated that the Offices
will bring in a net revenue of $250. 600
per annum, it will be seen that before
many years the temperance movement
will own the whole OUTFIT and in adili-
tion have $3.50 900 per year to spend in
agitation.
The site of the temple is La Sale and

Wall street OF Chicago, and almost un-

will be French Gothic in design con-
srrueted of steel and entirely fiteproof,
and will be ten stories high from the
ground to the cornice and three more
above that line. In the interior will be
a central court seventy feet long and
thirty feet deep,
But the gem Of the building will he
the Willard hall. TINS is to ee beauti-
ful with fountains, statuary and paine
ings, and from ii is to ascend daily for
all time to come the incense Of prayer
for the abatement Of the liquor traffic
The broad hall leading TO 1t is to be
lined with marble and emblazoned with
memorials If the temperance conflict.
The building is to be completed on May
!, 1899, the same day on which the
Masonic temple is to be turned over by
the contractors.

BUFFALO, Nov 3.-A shocking trag-
edy occurred at Akron, twenty-four
miles east of this city, about s o'clock
Friday night. Miss Sarah McMullen,
aged 10 years, who has - d in Buffalo
the greater part Of the past yeal, but
who has been spending few days at
the house of MIS-. Patrick Brown, at
Akron, received a letter from this city
Friday, which seemed to distress
her greatly. Shortly afterward she an-
nounced that she was going up to Fall
kirk, about u mile from Brooklyn
street, where the Browns reside, and
Mrs. Brown commissioned her to buy
some groceries.
She started, taking with her Mrs.
Browns little 6-year-old daughter,
Della, and another little girl, named
Nellie May Conners, aged 10 years.
After getting the groceries Sarah took
the children TO the railroad bridge over
Murder creek, sixty-five feet in height.
She threw them both off, killing Nellie,
aud probably fatally injuring Della.
After committing the hellish act Sarah
returned TO Browns and said, Il am
going away. Perhaps you won't see
me again, and went out. She tried to
drown herself in mill pond, but was
rescued. Sarah will not talk upon the
subject, and no reason is assigned for
the terrible deed.

cartridge was made at Perryville in the
presence Of a number of experts. The
shell was similar to the one used the
last time, excepting that it was bored
out Of solid steel and had no blow holes,
aud was three-fourths instead of five
eighths inches in thickness.
a twelye-ton Blallely rifle was used,
similar to the two that was bursted in
previous experiments. The shell
weighed 27J pounds and contained nine
pounds Of sand instead of dynamite in
the inner cartridge. The charge was
thirty pounds of hexagonal powder.
The shell was fired into q sand bank at
distance of thirty yards and was re-
covered almost intact
Thermolnatric apparatus in the she'll
measured the force of the heat exerted
and dynometric calculations showed the
force and direction Of the explosive
power behind it and the influence ON
the inner dynamite cartridge. The
shell was opened and testified to the
correctness of DIR. Justin6 theory of the
late explosions in the gun.
Another test will be made With the
same shell, and at third test dynami te
will be again used, the Inventor being
confident that all diffip1ties have now
been removed in firing charges of dyna-
mate from any smooth bore or rifed
