Colored travellers particularly in parts
of the country where the Jim Grow idea
prevails, are often embarrassed, when
reaching town by not knowing
where to put up. On the other hand,
Colored .hotel-keepers often fail to secure
patronage because they take no steps to
inform the travelling community where
they are We have special column
for hotel announcements to which we
call attention, hoping that our hotel
keepers all over the country will see the
propriety of sending us their cards.

1t seems that above the waist an English
woman does not fear to uncover herself:
provided she does not show her feet, she

you seldom see an English woman lift

The Women Deserted Bec,use the Men
80 Come to America.
The women in several provinces of
Italy are sorrowful because so manv of
the men born in those provinces are
rushing to America. In some places
about the only men to be found are
those who are too. old to 20 away. "A
large quota of the younger men are
taken for the army, and their brothers
are far from home. The sisters and the
mothers in these provinces are for
saken. In the twelve months that ended
with June, the Italians who landed at
this port numbered 7O,776, of whom less
than one-fourth, or only 1889, were
women. There is heavy rush of Ital-
ians to Brazil as we'll as to this country,
and there, also. more than three-fourths
OF the newcomers from Italy are labor
ing men. a.~...r @.... IT,.
= The local authorities in some of the
Italian provinces are disturbed by the
exodus of the male population, and are
striving to find some way of putting a
stop to it. One proposition which has
met with favor is that the government
shall establish agricultural colonies in
those regions Of Italy, such as the
islands Of Sicily and SARDINIA, where
there is yet much uncultivated land, and
shall thus do something to relieve the
distress that exists among the rural
population. The main obstacle in the
way of this project is that much money
would be needed to carry it out, and the
Italian government is very hard up for
money.-N. Y. Sun. , H.. 3

Anderson is at Present in the Village

Both Men Say that Each other Pulled III.
Pistol FIrst-Tho Trouble All Grow Out
of a Family QuarreI-Mrs. Baker caused
tire shooting by Claiming She Was In-
suited by Anderson.
S1va SING, n. y, Aug. 3.-Isoac New.
ton Baker, Col. Robert G.. Iugersoli's pri-
waite secretary, who was shot Saturday
evening by Orviile Anderson at Croton
Landing, is still lingering between life
and death with four bullet holes in his
body.
Anderson is at present in the village
lookup, where he gave to-day his reason
for the shooting. He said that he was
going to the postofice about4 o'clock, as
he usually does, and met Baker soon af-
ter he got off the train. Baker stopped
him and proposed that they talk over
their differences and see if there was not
some way Of settling their troubles,
which were about the apartments of the
house they each occupied. While they
were talking Mrs. b ker appeared on the
scene, and, pointing to Anderson, said
that he had iusulted her that morning
in the hallway. Baker then took up
what she said and made a motion as if to
get his pistol, Anderson says that he
noticed him and thst he quickly drew his
revolver to defend himself. Mrs. Baker
shen jumped between them.
Both men aid that each other pulled
his pistol first, but Anderson was the
only one that fired, as Bakers right arm
was shattered before he could shoot and
his pistol was not discharged.
Charles Q. Fisher, Jr., Il brakeman, said
he was passing after the shooting pc-
Cured, when Anderson called out to hiA
to take the pistol f. ON Mrs. Baker, who
vas trying to get possession of it. Ander-
son handed his pistol to Fisher, while he
said lie had to struggle to get possession
of Bakers, who exclaimed;
"My darling, l stood to my flag like a
man."
His wife answered.; eyes, my dear,
this rebel has done you this time"
Anderson said that on Thursday last
they both met in the depot and that
Baker spoke in u snHrling way aud made
n motion as If to get his pistol, He said
he carried a pistol ever since.
The Bakers had lived in New York
until last April, when they advertised in
the newspapers for rooms in the country,
and received an answer from Mr.. Ander-
son, who had leased the mansion called
the Moody house. Arrangements were
made by which Baker occupied up stairs.
Everything went on smoothly until re-
Gently, when the families began to quar-
rel about little things, and sueered at
each other in the hall. The dividing of
the fruit in the otchard was the most re-
cent disturbance.

A Desperate Causes Murder and
P~anIo-Three Persons Killed and the
Murderer Escapes.
CArTLErrsBURG, Ky, Aug. 3.-Wayne
County, W. Va, was the scene of n series
Of murders last night. Mr.. Brumield,
his wife aud five children were muir
dered in a most horrible manne and
their bodies consumed by fire.
About midnight 80 Italian railroad
laborers became drunk and started on n
tour of devastation. The Brumtield fam
lily were thought to have considerable
money.
The Italians went to Brumield's resi-
dence and were refused admission. Doors
and windows were then forced open. Mr..
Brumheld with his two half-growu sons
fought with desperation, but were final
ly murdered, their Threats being cut
from ear to ear and the bodies repeatedly
stabbed. Mrs. Brumield and her three
little children were next killed by the
drunken Italians, who then searched the
house for money and set 1t on fire.

the murder he summoned a posse of the
most brave and determined men in Wayne
County aud started upon a search for the
murderers.
Every Italian camp on the Norfolk &
Western Railroad has been searched thor
oughly, and should they be fortunate
enough to discover the murderers a repe-
tition of the New Orleans affair will be
the result, with no time for jury-bribing.
The people are thoroughly aroused and
determined that blood shall be the only
atouement.
Mr.. Brumheld was influential aud
wealthy. Two or three years ago, while
county commissioner, he opposed the
building of q new court house and thus
made many enemies. The court house
was built, and it is thought that the
| nurderous work was the result Of the
old feud, and that Brumaeld's enemies
supplied the Italians with liquor and
then pointed out the path to the residence.
