mother and two daughters. On these
women, who had fallen to the lowest
level Of degradation, the family de.
pended orsupport. They consorted with
black and white alike and their house
had become nothing more or less than
the lowest kind of brothel. Drunken
rows were Of frequent occurance and il
was a common thing for the neighbors
to hear vile language and cures emil
mating from their filthy cabin at all
hours Of the day and night.
The residents of this otherwise re-
spectacle neighborhood were becoming
Disguised on account Of the inability
Of the city authorities to get this pest
house out Of their midst. 1t was get
ting so that the members of this family
were having demoralizing effect upon
the servant girls in the neighborhood,
whom they have inveigled into their
house and induced them to rush the
can for stale beer or the worst kind of
compounded whiskey.
The climax was reached about a
week or ten days ago, when one Of the
female cooks, working in the neighbor-
hood, was prevailed upon to come to
the Belts mansion. Little Willie, as
they used to call the tin pail which
was sent out for beer or liquor, was
rushed pretty freely, and all hands be-
came hilariously drunk. The outcome
was that there was general row, which
disturbed the slumbers Of people for
blocks, and the strange visitor was
pretty badly beaten up.
The next day the following note was
handed to old woman Belts by a small
colored boy.

This warning was laughed at and
ridiculed by the whole crowd, and they
did not pay any more attention to it
than if it had been so much blank
paper. The nightly orgies kept up just
as usual, the same disreputable char
arcters visited the house, and the al

There was a constant stream to and
fro from early in the morning until af-

it had fallen. The furniture, which
consisted Of four chairs, d stove and
one dilapidated bureau and some q
the filthiest bedding that human be-
ings ever laid eyes on, was still scat
tered about beneath the fallen tim
bers and bricks. Few ventured very
near the ruins, for fear they might
come IN contact with some small live
animals that they would not want To

dicted BY the grand jury last week
We're arraigned.
Boyd Henderson was the first name

tempted rape. It will be remembered
that two weeks ago Miss Rachael Bell,
a highly respected young lady Of Bunk

a brutal negro, only partially attired,
under the bed. She made an cutlery
and brought members Of the family to
her rescue. When arraigned before
the Judge Henderson plead guilty and
appealed for leniency to the court.
Judge Duckwall looked upon the Of
Tense as being very heinous one, and
made the penalty years in the peni-

In the cases Of the State vs.. Benja-
min Lane for assault, for the first Of
Tense he was fined $50 and one month
in jail on the other the penalty was

COTTON PIcKERs DON'T STRIFE.
It Turned out to be dismal Failure.
Especial to THE WORLD.


New ORLEANS, Sept. 10. To-day
was set for the big cotton pickers'
strike, which, according to- President
Humphreys, Of the Colored Alliance,
was to embrace every State in the
cotton belt and involve 600, 900 mem
bers of the Alliance. Thus far there
are no indications of strike in any
quarter, and if inaugurated it is be-
lieved it would prove dismal failure.
Special dispatches from this State,
Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia,
South Carolina and elsewhere say the
negroes are all at work and apparently
unaware Of any concerted plan Of ac-
ton.
Cotton is down now, and the con-
sentative colored men in the Alliance
are urging the rank and file not to be
carried away by the wild cat scheme of
Humphreys and others. At the cot
ton exchange in this city nothing is
heard concerning any detection among
the laborers.

Conventional Custom.

One Of the simplest instincts OF good
manners would seem to be that man
should uncover his head while eating
his dinner with his family; yet it is
pretty certain that the first gentlemen
of England two centuries ago habit
ually wore their hats during that cere-
mony. nor is it known just when or
why the practice was changed. In
Pepys' famous Diary, which is the best
manual of manners for it's period, we
read, under date of September 22, 1864:
"Home to bed, having got strange
cold in my head by finging off my hat
at dinner, and sitting with the wind IN
nv neck" In Lord Clarendon's essay
on the decay of respect paid to age he
saws that in his younger days he never
kept his hat on before those older than
himself except at dinner. Lord Claren'
don died in 1914. That the English
members of parliament sit with their
hats on during the sessions is well
known, and the same practice prevailed
at the early town meetings in New En-
gland The presence or absence OF the
hat is therefore simply conventionall
tv, and so it is with a thousand prac
tices which are held, SO long as they
exist to be the most Interchangeable anC

THE CARE OF BEES.
,ne pegt WlnllE Protection u to KCGp
the Hives ia Cellar.

the Hives ! ! Cellar.
The laws of nature are of universal
application. Animals cannot live with
out certain amount of heat. which is
commonly called the vital heat. And
this is derived from the food Hence,
when an animal is exposed to unusual
cold it must use larger quantity of
food This applies all the same to man
kind, to farm animals of all kinds and
to insects. Those animals, as fish, how
ever, which have cold blood, do not
come in this category. And this fact,
viz, that food is consumed to produce
warmth, and that warmth is necessary
to the life of an animal, is to be consid.
cred in the winter management of bees.
Thus, when the bees are kept warm
they will consume the least amount of
food, and as the food is valuable and
salable product, it follows that for the
most profit in Bookkeeping the bees
must be kept as warm as may be con-
sistent with healthfulness. There are
many contrivances for this purpose.
There are the chaff hives, SO made that
a space around the hive is packed with
cut straw, as a protection against the
cod or rather as means of retaining
the heat of the hive Another means
OF protection is to pack the space
around the hives in the covered stand
with sheaves of straw. But the best
method is to winter the bees in a cellar
in which the temperature may be kept
at such point as will keep the bees
comfortable without exciting them to
action. Every motion of any animal is
accompanied by an expenditure of heat.
and to prevent this loss, which repre-
sents exactly SO much honey used as
food, and so much money, too, the bees
must be kept as nearly in dormant
state as may be and perfectly quiet.
This even low temperature is most cas-
lily maintained in suitable cellar. It
must be dry, and this is exceedingly
important, for the health of the bees
depends upon it. And another essen
tial is that there must be ample ventil.
alton. Small vermin also must be ex-
Guided. The temperature should be
not less than forty degrees and not
more than fifty degrees -Tray On. "
