while There is Lie There is Hope.

The wisdom of the saying while there
is life there is hope" was singularly i'm
pressed on a Centreville, Md, physician
last week. He was called some distance to
see child suffering from double pneu-
monia and in such condition that its death
would have been no surprise to him at any
hour. Still he prescribed for it, and left
the house with the injunction ITO notify
him in case Of death to save him from a
long ride unnecessarily He, however,
made two successive visits, but found no
Improvement in the child, and repeated
the former injunction. on the fourth day
he received a postal card saying, "You
need come no more" He of course took
it for granted the child was dead, and so
did the mother and others of the house
hold. Then coffin was ordered and
preparations were made for burial, but on
the succeeding day, very much to the
DOCTORS surprise, he was notified to go and
see the child again. When he went back
he found the child not dead, but revived,
and it has apparently improved ever since,
so that the physician has hopes of its ulti-
mate recovery,

CilarReS secretary Elaine Win u tloia-
tion of Diplomatic Confdence--Our Sec
rotary Proves the Contrary.
WASHINGTON, d. O., May Although
Blaine only received Rudini's latest note
through the Associated Press, he has been
swift to answer portion of it-that which
imputed to Blaine improper use of Rudini's
note of April IA. The answer, however,
has been addressed TO Minister Porter. In
this Mr.. Blaine says:
"a series of statements addressed to the
Marquis Imperial by the Marquis Rudini
was telegraphed from Rome yesterday,
and was published by the Associated Press
| of the United States to-day. The only
part of the Marquis Rudini's communica-
| ton which this government desires to
notice is the one here quoted" Mr.. Blaine
then quotes this: Il have now before me
note addressed to you by Secretary
Blaine April 18th. Its perusal produces a
most painful impression upon me. will
not stop to lay stress upon the lack of con-
| formity with diplomatic tlsages displayed
in making use, as Mr.. Blaine did not hest
tate to do, of a portion of a telegram of
mine communicated to him in strict con
| tidence, in order to get rid of question
clearly defined in our official documents
which alone possess diplomatic value"
| After quoting NJ. Rudini's telegram of
March Oath, concerning whose public use
in his note of April 14th the Marquis Ru-
DIM complains, Mr.. Blaine says to Minis
| ter Porter: The intimation of the Marquis
Rudini that the telegram in question was
delivered in strict confidence is a total
error. AS the telegram expressed the de-
| mand of the Italian government it was i'm
| possible that Marquis di Rudini could
transmit it in strict confidence. As | have
already stated, it was communicated to me
| in person by Baron Faya, written in Eng
| lish in his own handwriting without sug
| gestion of propriety, and the telegram
itself has not a single mark upon it denot-
| ing confidential character. / have caused
a number of copies of the telegram to be
| forwarded to You to-day in fac smile The
usual mark for italic printing was used by
me under four lines, and they appear in
the copies You will use the fac SMILES in
such manner as will most effeetually prove
the error into which the Marquis Rudini
| has fallen.
Minister Porter will not be withdrawn,
| ii is stated at the state department, before
the President returns, the whole matter
awaiting his action by his request, but
Porter may then be granted long leave
of absence as the Austrian minister here

Special to the Gazette.
Houston, Ten. July 3l.-Willam Cald-
well was hanged here to-day III the Jail for
d murder committed three years ago in
Fort Bend county. He went to the gallOws
with firm step, and met death without
the slightest emotion.
His case is a remarkable one. On the
night of August !, ISIS. j. W.
Shamblin was seated by table
in the hallway of his home
reading the Bible to his family, when he
was assassinated from without by some one
firing load of buckshot into him Tackled
on to his gate was a notice: "A warning to
all id Democrats" BlOOdhounds tracked
Caldwell to the woods, where he was hiding.
In his pocket was a book from which Il
page had been torn corresponding with tile
piece tackled to the gate. He came near be-
ing lynched, and prejudice ran so high he
got change of venue to this county. His
first trial resulted in conviction, but on
the second the death penalty was assessed.
His case has twice been before the state
court of appeals and the United States su-
preme court.
This killing was the origin of the bloody
vendetta in Fort Bend county between tie
Jay Birds and Woodpeckers. and which
eliminated in a bloody battle in the streets
of Richmond, in which the sheriff,
an eX-sheriff and several others
were killed and wounded, and also
at least three murders since.
With one possible exception the principals
in those tragic events are now dead All
these events Were published at the time in
all the papers in the United States and will
be recalled,

HOW 1T WORKS.
RESULT OF THE REGISTRATION
LAW NOW IN
Force in Nississippi-The Effect Expected
and Aimed At-A White State SO Far
the Registered Vote Goes.
Special to the Gazette.

New ORLEANS, LA, July 31.-The regis
tration in Mississippi, showing that the
provision in the new constitution OF that
state in regard to the prepayment of poll
taxes has had the effect expected and
aimed at-that OF largely cutting down
the number of negro voters registered.
The trainers of the constitution confessedly
aimed TO prevent the negroes ever gaming
political control of the state by two proyi-
sions, one requiring the payment of poll
taxes four months in advance of an election,
and, secondly, an educational qualification.
That in regard to the prepayment OF poll
taxes went into immediate operation. The
time for the payment of the tax
expired in July, so that it is now known
how the law has operated, what has been
its effect on the negro voters. how many of
them have sacrificed the franchise in pref
erence to paying the tax. The law has
had the effect expected, and has made
far as its registered vote is con-
cerned. Returns from thirty-two
out of sixty-five counties, just
half the state, show 4.971 whites and IL
33l negroes. Ii the proportion is kept up
in the other counties the total registration
will be 50, 450 whites and 1920 negroes, or
a white majority of $4,000. More than
three-fourths of the negroes have declined
TO register or pay the poll tax n only
one county, Bolivar, is there a registered
negro majority, and even there more than
half the negroes failed TO register. In
Yazoo, out of 5000 negroes entitled to regis
tration, only seventy-eight availed them
selves of the privileges, and in the low
lands out of 5000 only forty-four. In the lat
ter county, where the negroes are five TO
one. as compared with the whites, those
registered are about twenty-five white to
one negro In the southern portion of the
state about half the negroes registered,
but in the heavy negro counties of the
Yazoo delta not one-fifth, and in many
counties only one in ten. About per
cent of the whites are disfranchised by
the new provision, and in some counties
their loss is as high as % per cent, but never
higher The poll tax provisions of the new
constitution of Mississippi, therefore, as
sure large white majority of voters in
that state, even without the educational
qualification.
