President Harrison and the Lynchcrs

President Harrison and the Lynchcrs.
The Virginia Baptist Convention (col-
ored) met in Washington on May II,
and presented to President Harrison a
memorial, requesting him to lay before
Congress in special message the sub
ject of "Crimes against, citizenship,
against law, against humanity, against
God, which arc so common in certain
sections of this land" and to do all he
can for their suppression. To this me-
mortal the President replied:
'Those who have read my public adj
dresses and official papers must be
aware of the fact that have felt the re-
proach which lawlcssncss has brought
upon some of our communities. Ihave
endeavorcd to hold up the law as the
one single admissible rule of conduct
for good citizens. l have appealed
against race determinations as to civil
rights and immunities, and have asked
that law-abiding men of all crceds and
all colors should unite to discourage

The Instinct of Eating.

All beings. except man, are governed
bv natural instinct, and every being
with stomach, except man, eats before
sleep. and even the human infant,
guided by the same instinct, sucks fire.
Guently day and night, and if its stom-
ach is empty for any prolonged period
it cries long and loud. Digestion re-
quires no interval of rest, and if the
amount of food during the twenty-four
hours is in quantity and quality not be-
yOnd the physiological limit, it makes no
hurtful difference to the stomach how
few or how short are the intervals be-
tween eating; but it does make vast
difference in the weak and emaciated
ones welfare to have mOdicum Of food
in the stomach during the time of sleep,
that instead Of being consumed by bod
lily action it may during the interval i'm
prove the lowered system.
Should the weakly, the emaciatcd AID
the sIeeploss nightly take light lunch
or meal of simple nutritious food be-
fore going to bed, nine in ten Of them
would b. thereby lifted into better
standard of hcalth.-New York Ledger.

IN SHADOW.

One moth sucks in a flaming flower;
A light leans on the old church tower;
watch the moth. watch the mOOu-
4 moth white slip
One silver tip,
From ragged tree tops slipping soon
To burn above them FOR an hour.
The spircd dew keeps the moth awake,
While heads Of purple peoples shake
And cape druggcd mouths against the
breeze
That loves to sing
or wave and wing,
Appealing TO the ghostly trees
That SOW broad blossoms on the lake.
My soul dreams at the blood red heart
OF what thou art, of what thou art;
Sad silence whispers something rare,
As spirits know
When lilies blow
Beneath sweet heavens, woman fair
Ghosts lips and lips that speak apart.
My heart is wan as any bloom
The moonlight haunts beside a tomb:
So weary wasted with a love
No words may speak,
Oh, dear and weak.
Here where your tOmbstone's marble dove
Makes al the brightness plaintivc gloom.

An old and quaint little woman sells
pies and tdrts in Exchange place, just
off Broad street. She brings her stock
down town early in the morning in
large basket and .arranges it upon
piece of oilcloth spread in the street
close to the curb. Her customers are
mostly brokers messenger boys, and,
unlike the typical district telegraph
boy, they are usually in a hurry. Min
utes are precious in the delivery of
stocks, checks or orders to buy, and the
brokers' boy generally times himself
while eating his modest luncheon. For
the especial benefit of such customers
the quaint little pie woman keeps tiny
clock, which bangles from the handle Of
her basket. and tells each boy just how
much time he devotes to the absorption
of pastry. The average boy can devOur

AT all times the rose has enjoyed pc.
culiar favor as sacred flower. Moham-
medan tradition says that when Saladin
captured Jerusalem he refused to enter
the shrine Of the temple which had been
converted into church by the Crusaders
till the walls had been thoroughly
cleansed and purified with rosewater. A
similar story is told of the Church of st.
Sophia, at COnstantinOple, when trans
formed from a Christian place of wor-
ship to Mohammedan mosque. The
origin Of the rose, according to Moslem
tradition, is that the blood of the prophet
sprang into new life in this glorious
crimson flower To this day, when
Turk sees Il rose lying on the ground, he
will raise it tenderly, kiss it reverently
and deposit the frail blossom in some
place of safety.
The followers of Zoroaster have the
DRY that prior to the existence of sin in
the world the rose was thOrnlesS flow
er. In the east it is a tradition to this
day that the burning bush in which the
angel Of the Lord appeared to Moses
was a rOsebush, while in the Roman
Catholic church the rose still retains no
little element of the sacred character
which it would appear to have enjoyed
in all religions.-New York News.

SAN Francisco. March 23.-The relatives
and friends of George Baldwin and his wife

and went SO far as to propose 10 him. He

sending letters to the girl. These mssives
were unanswered for a long time. Finally
Baldwin wrote the following to Marshuts:

For President of the Prussian Ministry,
q Place Vacated by Caprivi.
Likely to Be Socn Promoted TO the Chan

from an Affection Of the Lungs
THE COMING CHANCELLOR.

Count Euienbure Appointed to the Position
Vacated by Won Caprivi
Special TO the indianapolis Journal
BERLIN. March 23-Politicians express
confidence that the Count Eulen burg. who
has been appointed president of the Prus
sian Ministry. the post vacated by
Caprivi. will use that office as
the stepping-stone toward the higher one
OF the German chancellorship. This belief
is shared by Chancellor Won Cayrivi, who
stated to an intimate friend to-day that in
his opinion Eulenburg was too
clever O man to remain longxin Sec
ond place. especially as he had
long coveted the chancellorship. and
now seemed to have it almost in his grasp.
Caprivi is friendly to Eulenburg. and real
Iy desires to retire himself regardless of
who Is to succeed him. While at Hubertu-
stock to-day Csprivi again mentioned TO
the Emperor his wish to retire. but the Kaiser
renewed his refusal to accept the with
drawal of his chief lieutenant at this time.
The entire press opposes the separation of
the functions of the chancellorship and
the PrussIan premiership. and declares that
General Won Caprivi should either retain
the dual position or retire altogether.
Chancellor Won Caprivi gave an official
dinner this evening. Among the guests
were several members of the Cabinet, the
principal diplomatic representatives and
some members of the Bundesrath.
The Tageblntt reports that Emperor
William Is suffering from emphysema of
the lungs. This malady, says the Tage-
blatt, was contracted on his recent excur-
sion to Grunwald, and produced slight asth-
matte attacks. and his doctors advised him
to go to Hubertustock to ensure a prompt
recovery. No other paper. in discussing the
Emperor's case. mentions emphysems. and
nothing Is known In well-infOrmed
quarters confirmatory of the papers report.
According to on official statement. the
Emperor needs fresh air and quietude. The
Emporer is not even attended by his body
physician, DR.. Louthold. the latter's assist
ant being the only doctor in attendance.
