WASHINGTON, May 29.--Dr. A. M. So
teldo, long the Venezuelan minister here,
says that dispatches received from most
reliable sources in Mexico state that the
Mexican government ordered the insur-

to leave, but his ship had no sails, an d

The government then allowed the Es-
meralda to take enough coal to carry
the order into effect, and she received
$50 tons, her ordinary consumption be-
ing fifty tons per day.

U, S. Rain Makers.

MIDLAND, Tex, Aug. 13.-The rainfall
expedition sent out by the United States
department of agriculture under the charge
of General r. &. Dyrenforth. arrived at
Midland last week and on Monday scored
is first success.
Last week was spent in conveying the
supplies to the ranch of Mr.. Nelson Morris,
OF Chicago, which is located twenty-three
miles northwest of this place. Saturday
and Monday part of the apparatus was
set up and a test of it WAS made, in which
anumber OF explosions of rackarock bombs
caused great conclusions and were heard
and felt distinctly at considerable dis
tance from the field of operations.
The explosives were all fired On and off
the ground by means of an electric bat
terry The trial was made primarily to
test the apparatus and was not calculated
to be on a scale extensive enough to insure
rain. However, in about ten hours after
the explosions clouds began to form and
gather over the Morris ranch and sur.
rounding country, and seventeen hours
! after the operation the rain began to fall
in coplous quantities. The storm seemed
to gather directly over the ranch and the
fall of rain was heaviest at that point.
The storm extended over a space Of
over 1000 square miles, and at the ranch
the rain continued to fall for space of
six hours. About two inches fell at that
point. This storm breaks a drouth of
long duraing in this locality and is the
best rain that has fallen on the Morris
ranch for more than three years. All the
apparatus will be in position in few
days, when full trials will be made.

Here is an incident from the South

just after the Grippe had visited that
country. Il am a farmer. one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well
drenched in a shower of rain. !
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. ] consulted Dr. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

His mother was a negro-his father a
white man. A slave at the plantation at
the age of 10 he was sent to Baltimore to
live with relatives of his master. He
taught himself to read and write in secret.
He was employed in shipyard and fled
from Baltimore from slavery in 1888. He
came to New York, then he went to New
Bedford, Mass. where he married. He
labored on wharves and in workshops
until 1S4l when he attended an Anti
Slavery Convention at Nantucket and
made speech Afterwards he travelled
and lectured in New England and Massa-
chusetts for upwards of four years. He
wrote and published his autobiography in
1S45. Soon after he went to Europe and
lectured in England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales to enthusiastic audiences. A
subscription OF hundred and 6fty pounds
was raised to manumit him. He re-
manned two years in Great Britain. Fear
ing arrest from his supposed implication
in the John Brown raid he went to
Europe again for some months. 1t was
he who suggested the formation of colored
regiments and did much to help fill the
ranks with his race in Massachusetts.

White Supremacy.
ST. LANDRY LAYS DOWN TIE LAW TO
WOULD BE CANDIDATES.

A rousing meeting was held at Leon
vile last Saturday. The following
special to the Times Democrat explains
its objects and purposes and the action
taken:
Special to the Times.D Democrat:
OPELoUsAs, La, May 9.-Pursuant
to call of the white citizens of Leon
vile, st. Landry parish, large meet
lug was held to- day at Camy's. Bridge
for the purpose of advocating the main
tenauce of white supremacy and
formally declaring that white men shall
rule this country. Addresses were
made by Hon. G.. L. Dupre, Capt. j. J.
Thompson, Placide T. Robin, Hon. r.
J. Smith and others, after which re-
solution was unanimously adopted in
which the people renewed their allegi-
ance to the doctrine of white suprem-
acy and pledged themselves to support
for office no man or set of men who
we're not in line with this movement.
A marked feature of the gathering was
the unanimity Of feeling prevailing
among men who have heretofore been
autagonistic to each other in local po-
litics. This meeting was the outcome
of the recent appointment Of colored
postmaster at Opelousas and the extra
ordinary circumstances surrounding it,
which have aroused the white people
throughout the parish.
