played as to make it impossible for us to sell
the surplus for more than the cost of pro-
duction, SO that we are still left unable to
pay our mortgages.
That We ask the president Of the T. A. and
/. U. Of Kansas to Immediately call a conven-
ton of the people for the purpose of petition
ing the President of the United States to i'm
mcdiately assemble Congress for the purpose

length in doing 80.
On the homestrctch the leaders did not exert
themselves much and when within quarter Of

hanlon dipped his hand in the water. The los

Terrible Experience of Two New England
Fishermen.
Six days on the storm-swept Atlantic without
food or water save raindrops caught falling
from the sky; with dory broken. oars lost and
sail swept overheard by the raging clements;
with death staring them in the face and not a
sign of relief the wide horizon around-such
was the wild experience of two fishermen who
were rescued by Capt. Davy of the British
schooner George and Mary off Scatterle shoal,
twenty miles southeast Of Cape Breton, Friday,
July 81.
Their names are James Chisholm and
Thomas Mckay, and they were lost from the
Gloucester schooner Willie NJ. Stevens about 12O
miles east of Sable Island during a dense fog
that cut them off from their vessel while thew
were trolling for halibut.
The castaways were passed from Caraquet to
Moncton by Conductor J. f. Evans and pro-
vided with clothes by United States Consul
Benedict, who paid their passage through to
Boston by rail, where they arrived at 9:35
o'clock Saturday night
They, were much exhausted and suffered
severely from the weather, being but very
thinly clad.

With Negroes.
For the last two months two white women
have been working at Wesson, Miss. They
came from the north, and were known as Agnes
Reardon and Manic Haspel They were
watched, and it was found that they often
visited a cabin outside of town. Investigation
also revealed the fact that two negroes some.
times visitedit. The negroes were Edward Hall.
driver, and Coleman Erb, a plantation hand.
A notice was pasted at the door of the cabin
warning the four to leave before Thursday
night They refused to heed the warning. which
was accompanied by threats of whipping.
About o'clock Friday morning a party of
about thirty men went to the cabin. They ap-
preached quietly, and then rush was made
for the door, which was carried from its hinges.
The inmates were quickly overpowered, led
outside, stripped to the waist and bound to
trees. The thirty men took turns in hogging
the barred backs with a blscksnake whip, every
stroke bringing blood.
The women received forty-five 10 fifty lashes
each, when they tainted from pain. The men
took the terrible punishment better and were
given q larger dose. After the women re-
gained consciousness they and the two men
were allowed to return to the cabin and dress.
Then they started north on the railroad track.

the story in New York paper.
When Jay Gould arrived in Boston u
few days ago he was confronted by a
youngster with an unusually dirty face,
who shouted : "Mornin' paper, only two
cents !"
The millionaire bought paper and
gave the boy o five-cent piece, saying i:
"Keep the change and buy cake Of
soap to wash your face with"
The newsboy counted out three cents
and dropped them in Mr.. Gould's hand.
keep your change said the boy,
"and buy book on politeness."
