Lynching Party Warned by Co1ored
LAWYER to Desist.

There was great excitement at Guthrie, Okla,
on Sunday, June IL, occasioned by two Grim
inal assaults by negroes upon white women. A
negro lad named Holley assaulted Mrs. Charles
Moore, the wife of freighter, who was away
from home at the time. Holley was arrested
and a mob surrounded the jail threatening to
lynch him. The negroes of the town declared
that Holley was innocent, although he had con-
fessed his guilt to the Sheriff, and race war
seemed imminent for time. There was much
angry talk.
Judge" Perkins, negro lawyer, was
spokesman for the colored men. During the
excitement he said:
Let the whites harm that man and the town
will be in ashes before morning"
The Sheriff smuggled the prisoner from Jail
and took him to Wichita, Kan, for safe keep
ing
The second assault was made upon the wife
of James Genken, who is the engineer of the
electric plant, by an unknown negro, who es-
capped. A posse, headed by Genken, is on his
trail, and will lynch him if they catch him.

The Democratic Convention Hall Unroofed.

A small cyclone struck the city of Chicago
on Monday, juno 13, accompanied with heavy
rainfall, which did much damage, and three
persons are reported drowned. The great can
vas canopy over the Wigwam, in which the
Democratic National Convention will be held
next week, was torn to tatters, and so utterly
ruined that the contractors have abandoned
the idea Of using it, and will use a timber roof
A number Of columns will be erected to sup
port the roof and it is feared that this arrange
ment will impair the acoustic properties of the
amphitheater but there Is no way to avoid it.
Work was Immediately begun on the building,
and the contractors declare the building will
be ready for occupancy at the time specified.
The telegraph, telephone and electric wires
were almost completely demolished. Much
damage was done.

Nevada, for President and Thomas E. Watson,
Representative in Congress from Georgia, for
Vice. President. 1t Is said that Gen. Weaver,
who has been mentioned for the first place, is
strongly inclined to favor this ticket.

A Musical Criticism.

The musical critic of the Cincinnati
Enquirer thus noted the appearance of
Patti the other night: "a magnificent
creation of richest ivory-white satin,
shimmering like moonlight with every
movement; tremendously long train,
edged with some wonderfully fluffy pink
trimming in waves and cascades; re-
peated on the decollete corsage, show
ing the beautiful neck and arms, and
cut very low in the back, showing an
expanse of very delicately tinted flesh
on the perfectly rounded outlines. The
petticoat of the dress was paneled in
deep vandykes of gold and iridescent
embroideries, reaching from the hens to
the waist The corsage was one solid
blaze of jewels; diamonds flashed like
stars, and there was the gleam of pearls
rubies, emeralds, and ON her breat she
wore two jeweled medals. About hel
neck was a necklace of pearls, with d
diamond sun for pendant, and strings
of the pearls fell below to the waist
Two milk-white pearls hung in hel
dainty ears, and in her dark hair was 8
diamond star and two pearl combs. Patt

The Treacherous Silk Purse.

The other day quite commotion was
caused in Walnut street car by what
is known as a 'miser's purse" Not a
miser with q purse, you know, but one
of those affairs made of silk and beads
and given the name because they hold
the money so tight. Too tight in this
case, for the woman who owned it evi-
IDENTIFY had her doubts about it as she
gave the purse gentle pull, shaking
her head obviously. Then she pulled
hard, then she shook it. By this time
the conductor was calling, Fares,
please" and all eyes were turned upon
the unfortunate woman. Again the
conductor came in. Fare, madam. :"
Getting desperate, she held the purse
out to him, saying, "There; take it"
After he Lad struggled with it for a
time he gave it back to her and num-
bled something about trick pocket
books" This brought tears of vexation
to her eyes, whereupon American chiv-
airy showed itself by three men offering
to pay her fare. But, madam would
have none of it, and said if she did not
get that pocketbook open she would send
her fare to the depot Then some would
be kind people offereG to open it for her.
From hand to hand the little purse trav-
eled, but it kept its secret.
Meanwhile a pretty girl got in the car,
and seeing the state of affairs said to the
owner: II think can open it. While ]
was at school one of my punishments
was to receive ball of tangled thread
and have to unravel and wind it up
without breaking it. This silk is knot
ted" AS she was working with it a
small boy leaving the car yelled, Say,
if you want to pay your fare, why don't
you cut the old thing" left the car
then, but even if she did get her money
out of it, wager she made VOW never
to use that purse again if she had to
carry every cent in her glove or tied in
a corner of her handkerchief .-Phila-

He Voted as She Desired.

Mrs. Seymour-Howells tells a story of
a woman who had husband in deadly
fear of her. He was a member of the
legislature, and his wife had insisted
upon his voting for woman suffrage
bill. He had promised to do so, but his
better half was afraid to trust him, and
SO ON the day the bill was to come up
she hied herself to the gallery in the leg
islative hall. The roll was being called,
and when the husbands name was
reached he got up and said;
"Mr. Speaker, regret to cast my vote
against this bill, butt
At this instant a tall woman, with a
penetrating voice, leaned over the gal
lery rail and said:
"Wilbert!"
And then Wilbert's knees began to
shake. He said in trembling voice:

EoW BAY Rum Is Made.

Bay rum is manufactured in Dominica
from the dried leaves of Pimenta acris
Bay rum is procured by distillation, and
this in very simple manner. The
leaves are picked from the trees and
then dried. In this state they are placed
in the retort, which is then filled with
water, and the process Of distillation is
carried on. The vapor is then con-
densed in the usual way and forms what
is known as ebay OIL" a very small
quantity of which is required for each
puncheon of rum. The manufacture Of
hay rum is carried on at the northern
end of Dominica and proves a very lu-
crative business to those engaged in it,
as the plants are plentiful in this dis
trict.-Garden and Forest.

"A Cheap Ball Dress.

This is one of the demoralizing little
stories that husbands cut out of the pa
per and carry home in their letter books
with one or two inevitable results-a
disgusted wife, who says he is "stingy,"
and gets up squabble they are both
sorry for, or horrid, bungly little frock
she will never wear and which repre-
sents couple of days nervous fussy
work. The heroine entered on discus
sion about the prices of gowns, and, hav-
ing artfully led up to her point, declared
that she could make an attractive even
ing gown under two dollars! Hands
were held up in horror, but she declared
she would do it, and show them that she
was right. But" said one fair one,
will you promise to wear the thing
after you get it doney" Il will," an
swered the indomitable damsel, ''and
I'll wear it to this - dance, and defy
society, and if l don't succeed I'll treat
every one of you royalty at Delmonico's.
1t was agreed, and great was the expec-
tation thereof in several maidenly minds.
Well, not to keep you in suspense, she
made and wore the gown, which cost
her just $1.90. 1t was a pale green ia
panese cotton Grape. of which she bought
nine yards at fifteen cents yard. Then
there was cambria skirt, five yards at
five cents yard, yard of waist lining
for ten cents and spool of silk for ten
more.
That was all there was to it. 1t had
little shirred decollete bodice, with
pretty puffed and shirred sleeves, a full
skirt, decorated with festooned flounce
and queer little pocket suspended from
her waist. OF course she had her ov-n
dainty gloves and shoes to finish off
with, which counts for a good deal in
effect. But the gown itself was as
graceful as any the other debutantcs
wore. The delicate green became her
creamy skin beautifully, and she looked
like a bewitching picture, and only the
little charmed circle of girls knew the
secret, which they kept for long time
(the next day., when somehow it leaked
out. Now stories of this kind are alb
surd. The beauty of ball or in fact
any other toilet depends absolutely on
the perfection of the adjuncts, such as
shoes, gloves, ribbons, and So on, which
cost ever so much more than the actual
material of the gown, and which are
never included in the estimates. s.-New

A Suggestion for Long Evenings.

The mother OF the daughter of the
family is naturally expected to provide
entertainment for the long evenings, and
it often requires an unsuspected amount
of generalship and forethought to pre-
pare amusement that is interesting and
sufficiently profitable. An excellent and
easily executed plan provides for the
reading and subsequent discussion Of one
or more articles or stories in a favorite
periodical A serial sometimes furnishes
a very good starting point for argument

supply material for study for fortnight.

GRA7-HAIRED LOTHAIRIO.
He Was Very Anxious to Marry
a Girl of Sixteen.

FORsYTHE, Pa, June 17.-What
would have been romantic narri-
age was nirped in the bud here yes
terday. AT an early hour an old
man, about sixty years of age, drove
into the city, accompanied by a
sy-cheeked, bashful girl Of not
more than sixteen. The couple at
tracted great deal of attention on
the streets, and they were the OBJ
jects of great attraction when it was
learned that they were in search Of
a minister. The old mans heart
throbbed with joy as he walked into
the ordinary's Office and called for
marriage license. Just then how
ever, the would-be groom's joy was
replaced 10y sorrow and disappoint-
ment, for a prominent minister
heard of the intended ceremony and
determined that it was an unjustifi
able injury to the unsuspecting girl,
and that he would make an attempt
to prevent it, as he knew the groom
eXpectant had a wife living IN Flor
ida. The license was refused the
old man, and a more disappointed
lover could not be imagined He
grew indignant, while the girl at
his side smiled coquettishly into his
face, ,reassuring him of her love. The
white-haired lover, though creslfal-
len at this disappointment, took the
girl by the hand and led her away,
swearing that he would get the
license elsewhere and make the
Young girl his bride.

Stand for Parliament.

VANCOUVER, b c., June 1.-THE
announcement made that Hon. Ed
ward Blake has been asked by
cablegram signed by the Irish par
liamentary party, including Justin
Mccarthy, John Dillon, Michael
Davitt, Timothy Healy and William
O'Brien, 10 allow his nomination for
a constituency in Ireland, has
created profound sensation here.
The World, an independent journal
in policies, a great admirer of Blake,
and favorable TO home rule for Ire
land, comes out with a strong leader
observing that Hon. Edward Blake
will surely heed the Macedonian cry
and go over and help the sons of
Erin In their struggle for home rule.
Continuing, it says; at is under
stood that the erstwhile leader of the
Liberal party inCanada has the mat
ter under consideration. While he
would place all Irishmen In the
Dominion under deep debt Of graft
itude by his acceptance of the invi-
tation, il seems To us TO be a duty
that he owes to himself. The name
of Blake has ever stood for freedom.
He has always been on the side
of justice; his creed has been the
brotherhood OF man. Long ago be
declared his sympathy with self
government for Ireland, at "a time,
too, when the sentiment was not as
popular as II is now. His wondrous
oratory has been heard on the floor
