MOBILE, Dec. 26.-Following are later
details of the lynching of Bob Sims and
his men Tsee page IL of this paperl;-
After consultation between the sheriff
and Sims party the latter agreed to sur
render on condition that they would be
protected and carried 10 the Butler Jail.
The sheriff promised the best protection
he could give under the circumstances.
Sims selected twenty-five men and the
sheriff twenty-five, aud started with them
TO Butler. About mile from Sims house
a body OF men, from 100 to goo strong,
took them from the guards aud hanged
them all TO one tree. Sims expressed fear
that he would never reach the Jail, dead or
alive. When he was placed in the buggy
fer the fatal ride he refused 10 be blind
folded. He held ont his hand and asked
them 10 feel his pulse 10 see If he Was
frightened, and said he was going 10
heaven. Young Savage said: IF you
think enough of me TO bury me, put me
hv the side of Sims. We are fighting for
the same cause"
They died cursing. The women were
turned loose. The names of the simsites
hung are Bob Sims, Tom Savage and Con
Savage and his two grown sons, Thus

GROVER CLEvELAND's DAUGHrKR.
The Distinguished Parent Takes an
Active Interest in Her Welfare.
New York World


There are six servants in his household
at Lakewood, yet when the nurse has the
child all tucked under the carriage
covers and ready to go ont it is
Mr.. Grover Cleveland who opens the
hall door. goes down the front steps
first and lifts the little rig so as not to
jostle the dot of humanity. Baby Ruth
leads a model existence. All that con-
Germs her is as carefully regulated as clock
work. She eats on time, loafs on time,
and does everything on time but sleep.
If she does not come home at the end OF
two hours for her lunch, dinner or after
noon tea, the solicitous papa is out on the
porch looking down the board walk, up the
path or through the pine trees for .
glimpse of her.
The carriage wheels are as tenderly
built as cables, but they can't roll over the
gravel walk very far without attracting
his attention. and long before they get To
the cottage he is out on the porch ready To
lift up his end of the carriage, say 5000,
goo. COOL" and roll papas own girl into
the hall. What loving services he renders
when the door is closed must be left to the
private history of that establishment.
How large an interest he takes in tho
private affairs of Baby Ruth may be in
ferTed from the following amusing story
heard in a village drug store:
The distinguished customer had been
making some purchases, and when he
went TO pay for them he put his hand in
his pocket and hauled out a lot of small
change which he laid on the show
case. In the collection was an ink eraser
and large brass safety pin, which he
hurriedly put out of sight. Not a muscle
in his face moved, but when he went out
the people in the store had little laugh
and a good deal to say about the Lake
wood cottager.
Any one who ever saw even woodcut
of Grover Cleveland would know Ruth was
his daughter. Her neck, forehead. eyes
and hair are Clevelandish to the last de-
gree.
/ have it on the very best authority that
Miss Ruth is fretful, that every night about
8 O'Clock she opens her eyes, and her
mouth as well, tries to kick the tucks out
of her slip and INDUCES in a little
hurrah that attracts the attention OF
the household: Mr.. Cleveland is not the
last one 10 attempt pacific measures, and
before the hangings were on the cottage
windows the figure of q man could be seen
pacing To and fro with a bundle in his
arms. The horror of being taken" in this
role may have something TO do with the
canine collection that is growing about the
country home.

WON BY RECIPROCITY.
Vast Increase in Exports to
Spanish West Indies.
A GROWTH OF 90 PER CENT.
Baltimore Now Ships Wheat to Cuba
New Markets Thrown Open to Ameri-
can Farmers and Manufacturers.

WASHINGTON CRY. Dec. o6-The "deadly
policy" of reciprocity continues to exert
its malign influences upon the export
trade of the United States with those
countries between which and this country
reciprocity agreements have been con-
cluded and have gone into effect. The
official returns from all of them tell the
same tale of woe. Remote Brazil. as well
as San Domingo and the Spanish West
Indies, not only sees more vessels
laden with cargoes leaving her ports for
the United States, but more vessels arriv-
ing in her ports with cargoes from the
United States. Within a short period
Germany and the British West Indies and
Guiana will witness the same doeful spec
tacle, and also will Austria Hungary, Ven
ezuela, Colombia, Mexico and perhaps
some other countries which produce
coffee, sugar and hides for the markets of
the United States.
The deadly policy" has now been in
operation as to the Spanish West Indies
and Sa n Domingo for little more than
three months; fortnight. from this time
its baneful influence will increase as TO the
former and on July l, 1892, ii will become
still more potent and widespread, unless
checked by causes which cannot now be
foreseen. The effects as to Cuba and
Porto Rico can be discovered and meas
ured, in part, by official returns of imports
and exports for the months of September
and October. The value of the exports
TO those islands OF certain articles covered
by the reciprocity agreement with Spain
for the months named, as compared with
the exports of the same articles during the
corresponding months of last year,
are shown IN the following table,
together with the new rates of
duty on the same, under the agreement.

relchstag some measures which we hope
Will be successful. But they are not re-
celving from statesmen the attention usu-
ally given TO legislative attempts at reform
because Of their severity. In Austria
drinking is general. and many drunken
men can be seen upon the streets. Italy
confines itself TO hight wines, and lately
TO beer. Cheap wines in that land
of sunny skies are rs common as
water. The laborer carries his stoup
of wine, an onion and some black
bread for his luncheon. / saw only two
drunken men in Italy and they were boat
men on the Bay Of Naples. There is
Switzerland, but drunkenness is not preva-
lent. In France the people have gone to
hypodermic morphine and absinthe. OF
course, light wines are used there very
commonly. but not so much since the in
PRODUCTION of opium and abslnthe. The
use of opium has now become q fashion,
able fad, and | believe il will be q case of
arrested civilization such as we have
IN China unless the governments
awakens 10 the danger in prospect. In
Great Britain drunkenness is very COM
mon. 1t would he difficult TO walk
through the Strand or Fleet street, Lon.
don, any night without running against
from fifty 10 100 drunken men and women.
This holds good III Birmingham, Man.
chester and particularly Liverpool. In
the large cities of Scotland one witnesses A
carnival of drunkenness every Saturday
night. This is particularly the case
in Glasgow. Strange To say there is
less drunkenness in Ireland than in
any other nation in Europe. In Ireland
men are poorly paid and liquors are ex-
penslye. The government has a firm grip
upon illicit distilleries and hence the peo-
pie are cut off from cheap whisky. They
mostly drink ale and porter as a substi-
tute, and these are manufactured in most
of the large cities throughout the country.
In Dublin | counted as many as thirty
large distilleries idle and wrecked because
of want Of business. There is room for
institutions in the old country.
''ln the twelve years in which have
been established on this side | have cured
80, 900 in the institutes and $4,000 more by
the home treatment. There is as much
need of stamping out the taste for drink in
the Old World as there is on this side.
No, no one can analyZe the treatment.

which 81, e65, $50, or about one-eighth, was

Totals l.s54 692ll .oa3 81

The total net increase in the values of
the exports of the articles named during
the months of September and October,
1891, as compared with the corresponding
months OF last year, amounted to $500, S76,
or more than GO per cent, a rate which, if
maintained throughout the year, will
amount to about s.. 900 on these
articles alone. The only items
which showed decrease were
corn, naval stores, crude petroleum,
tallow. sailed pork and butter, the total
amount Of the decrease being S27, $40,
while the total increase on the other
eleven items amounted to S64S, 7S6. The
decrease on corn, which amounted to $l7,-
l32, or considerably more than one-half of
the total loss, was due to the short corn
crop OF 1890. and the fact that the crop of
1891 had not yet begun to find its way into
the market. In addition to the articles
named above, the" transitory schedule"
which is now in force includes the articles
embraced in the following table, which
shows the value of the exports of each to
Cuba and Porto Rico in the year ended
June 80, 1890. together with the regular
rate of duty and the reduced rate under
the reciprocity agreement.
