Trouble with Negroes.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 6.-The
only serious circumstances growing out
of last nights demonstrations by ne
groes about the county jail was an at
tempt of a negro guard one block away
from the jail to stop the passage of 4
white man. The negro was armed,
and the white man turned back for as
sistance. He returned with deputy
sheriff. two constables and policeman,
and these attempted to disarm the ne
gro. They were instantly fired upon
from all directions by negroes in con-
oealment
Three of the posse received slight
flesh wounds and they were all obliged
to leave. After the placing ola Cat
ling gun in position in front of the jail
the negroes scattered from that point,
but still kept themselves in squads con-
veniently near so as to rally readily if
necessary. There was no further dis
turbancc during the night, and the
troops have control of the situation.
The st. Augustine Guards, Gainesville
Guards, and Halifax Rifles of Daytona,
have been ordered to hold thcmselyes
in readiness to report at Jacksonville.

Pork and Rcans Saved Her.

''Pork and beans saved her." de-
clared the professional nurse. "'Twan't
doctors nor physic, but just plain pork
and beans, and twenty-five cents worth
at that
"The doctors had given her up. She
had stomach trouble and couldn't
take any food, and they said she was
going to die of starvation. We gave
her little bits of chicken mixed with
chopped ice and lots Of beeftea, but she
lost weight every day. The specialist
said she couldn't absorb enough nour-
ishment to keep her on earth and told
her family to advertise for bids from
the undertakes.
"She lived in an apartment house on
the second floor, and the only people
with her all the time were the nurses.
One day the doctor gave her a large
drink of sherry and told me outside the
door that he was only keeping her alive
so that she could complete her will.
"Soon after she took the sherry She
went to sleep and 1 thought it was my
cue to 90 out for walk and get back
in time to put her in the icebox. a
few minutes after 1 had left it seems
she awoke and with q frightful appe
tite, which had been given to her by
the sherry.
''There was bowl of consomme on
the table by her side. She didn't want
it. She had drunk gallons it, and it
wasn't what she fancied. She just got
up, went to the door and stopped the
first boy she saw going down stairs.
She simply said to the kid: Here's q
quarter. Go out and get me some pork
and beans. When you come back Eli
give you ten cents
"The boy returned with the pork and
beans and the patient devoured them.
When got back she told me what she
had done, / gave the whole thing away
to the doctor next morning and he said:
4 guess we've fed her on Stops long
enough; she knows what she wants
sThis was a newidea, She had been
asking for steak and onions and corned
beef and cabbage all along, but we all
pooh-poohed her and gave her warm
water colored with q brown liquid
which is all consomme soup is.
CATER the pork and beans episode
we fed her on roast beef, mutton chops
and fried chicken and within a week
she was up and well ndshe c2nld have
licked the nurse and doctor, too. Only
for the pork and beans she would have
been buried in forty-eight hours.
II tell you," he concluded "sick peo-
pie know pretty well what they want"

He WAS AFRAID TO LIvE.-August
Neidhall, German, 80 years old,a car
penter, attempted suicide at his home
early Monday evening by cutting his
throat with a razor.
Mrs. Neidhall, who had been out for
pitcher of beer, found her husband
lying on the carpet, the razor beside
him. Neidhall was taken to Bellevue
Hospital, where it was said he would
die.
The housekeeper at the above num-
Der said Neidhall's first wife, when he
married in Germany, was wealthy.
They quarreled about 10 years ago
about the disposal of some Of her prop
erty, and he left her and with his two
children, both girls, came to America,
where he has always earned good
wages. One of his daughters is married
The other, Lena, is domestic.
In Central Park two years ago Neid
hall met young woman who came
from his home in Germany and they
were soon married. So far as the neigh
bors know they have lived happily.
While Neldhall was riding home
from work one night fortnight ago he
read an article in a German newspaper
which alarmed him. What this article
was none of his neighbors knew, but it
is believed to have referred to his first
wife. Since then he had seemed de-
spondent.
Some of his neighbors said Monday
night that Neidhall had said he was
haunted by an apparition of his first
wife, and that he was afraid to live
longer.-N. Y. Herald.

Mr.. JOIN I. DAVENPORT, who ac-
knowledges the authorship ofthe Force
bill, says that billwill be reintroduced
if 4 favorable opportunity shall occur.
The favorable opportunity referred to
is. of course, the reelection Mr.. Har-
rison and the election OF 4 republican
House ofRepresentativcs. Andyet the
New York Tribune, whose editor is the
republican Vice Presidential candidate,
says Che dread the people of the South
have for the passage Of the Force bill is
without cause, and, indeed, is simu-
lated. Less interested people than Mr..
Reid know that the favorable opportu-
nifty hoped for by Mr.. Davenport would
be snatchcd by the republicans so
quickly that the heads of such demo-
Gratis as may allow Mir. Reid to put his
Gngcr in their eyes would not have time
to swim before the bill would be passed
and the white people Of the South be
subjected to all the dire troubles of at
tempted negro domination.

THrMrGwrMps. Mo were very much

THE MUGwUMPs, who were very much
disgruntled at The nomination of Mr.,
Stevenson for Yice-President, for the
reason that he, democrat, deemed the
simple fact that a postmaster was a re-
publican sufficient reason for his remov-
al, are still muttering their complaints.
But by doing so they are only strength
ening the democrats, for the latter be
lieve in their party, and have common
sense enough TO know that, in country
of manhood suffrage, political organiza-
tons cannot be maintained effectively
without rewards for efficient services,
and that the worker at 4 ward poll is
as much entitled to his pay" as the
more prominent worker at a national
convention, and that postoflices are no
more pay than cabinet positions or
foreign missions.

A MALE IMPERsoNAToR's ROMANCE.
A truly wonderful story of the welded
life of a male impersonator is now be-
ing told in New York where theatrical
people congregate. apropos of the an
nouncement that Annie Hindlc has just
been lawfully married to another
woman, Miss Louise Sprangehl, Of
Troy. That event occurred late in
June, while Miss Hindle was appearing
in male robes in Troy, Il Baptist clergy
man performing the ceremony, with
the evident supposition that the bride
groom was man. For She was dress
ed in male attire, an evening dresss
suit which she used on the stage. What
makes the story more unusual, are The
former alliances of the woman who act
ed the part of bridegroom. Her first
alliance was with man named Charles
Vivian, with whom she lived but Il
short time and very unhapily. He was
the founder Of the Order of Elks, and
died in 1880. Although they lived to-
gether scarcely month, Miss IIindlc
declares that she was true to him.
After the death of her husband the
male impersonator sought happiness in
quite another quarter. She was mar
ried to woman in the Barnard House,
at Grand Rapids, Mich, her dresser
and travelling companion, Il handsome
brunette of about twenty-five. On this
occasion, as on the later one, Miss Hin
die. or Mrs. Vivian was in Il dress suit.
The only witnesses to the ceremony,
except the officiating clergyman, was
another female impersonator The
wife who had thus become a bride
groom, lived for five years with her
bride on the Jersey Heights. in New
Jersey. Not long ago she made her re-
and in Troy met Miss
Spangehl, who became the second bride
of Charles Vivian's wife

The nun ber'of Industries in which
women are employed is so rapidly in.
creasing that IL need hardly excite
surprise to hear from Ceyl Ion that
many ladies belonging to the first
families of that island are embarking
in the tea trade. During the last few
years the former prosperity of CeylOn
has Oeen steadily waning, and the
pinch OF necessity which came on
families that were at one time wealthy
became so urgent that some means of
experimenting their crippled re-
sources had to be adopted In this
contingency. seven ladies combined
together and became the proprietors
of tea estate, and not only directed
the cultivation of the fields, but pro-
ceeded to dispose of the produce by
their own direJt agency snd labor.
This innovation has turned out so
successfully that quite movement in
the employment of female labor has
been started in CeylOn in the various
branches of the tea industry The
putting up Of the tea in packets, and
the many other ways in which tea
may be manipulated for the retail
trade, work not necessItating any
heavy amount of manual labor, is es-
pecislly adapted 70 females. The
latest phase of this new departure
has made Its appearance in England,
where many ladies are adding to
their incomes by acting as the agents
of friends or relatives resident in Cey-
lon connected with tea production.
The London female tea agent has
learned wisely from the vendors of
certain fashionable brands of cham.
payne, and after asking her friends to
afternoon tea, she makes a brew from
a sample of her wares, often inducing
her guests to give her their promise
to supply themselves in future with
tea furnished by heyself

A rubber expert, who has been

copper salts which are used in various
stages of the manufacture OF certain
kinds Of rubber goods frequently tend,
to decOmpose or harden the material.
Metallic copper in contact with rubber
causes the oxidation or hardening of
the gum. although 10 appreciable

OF the decomposition OF rubber is its
