LYNCH LAW DENOUNCED.

INDIANAPOLIS Sept. 29.-At yesterdays
session OF the Missouri conference OF the
African Methodist Episcopal church, IN
session iii this city, the principal feature
of the proceedings was the address OF
Bishop Alexander Waters, ID. D., presl-
dent of the conference. That part or the
address exciting deepest interest was
reference to the lynching of negroes Ihe
bishop, reading from his address, said:
1.-THE lynching of negroes for trlhlng
offenses, and III many cases innocent
negroes. is increasing to an alarming eX-
tent. Something has got to be done. Ihe
tin1s has come when every minister, whlte
and black. should lift up his voice agalnsG
these outrages and barbarities. The blood
of these innocent victims calls aloud Tor
vengeance. 1t is yonr place by earnest
and courageous agitation 10 help answer
their calls Let us rouse public sentiment
IL our favor by telling of these henous
crimes until the good people of this coun-
try are moved TO speak ont III our deIense.
Thirteen negroes, the vast majority OF
them innocent, were murdered last Weeh.
1t is a burning shame upon our ciVlIiZa-
tion We cannot longer be SILENT put
must cry aloud and cry until these out
RACES are banished from our land.
The Rev w. II. Smith of Corydon, hy.,
principal of tile public school ut that
place, and secretary OF The meeting, aSkeu
that the time of the meeting be extended
for the discussion of the report and he
made a speech hot with indignation Sec
ending the thought OF the bishop.
DR. j. p Thompson of St. Louis, Mo-,
knew he WAS regarded as something OF an
Anarchist, he said, but he felt that there
was TOO much praying. The rightlng or
wrongs to the negro could come only
through the shedding of blood, az the ne
gro had been freed only by bloodshed. The
negro who wasn't willing TO shed his blood
for bis wife and children wasn't III to live.
The negroes ought to do something for
themselves. Praying without doing any
hing was, he thought, an ofIense to God.
he spoke wijn passionate indignation OF
.he Jim Crow cars the negroes were
compelled TO ride in iB the south, aud IA
vored burning the roads using such cars.
Tie CHittd States government could send
down south into the mountains to protect
bottle OF WHISKY, but it couldn't 90 any
thing TO protect negro.
Bishop Waters rose TO explain that he
did not favor bloodShed and burning The
negroes, he said, should, by living as good
citizens and pointing out the Injustice done
to them. arouse the public sentiment IN
their favor. If negro committed murder
or outrage, he ought to be executed or
punished, but what he demanded was that
the negro should have fair trial like any
other citizen. The proper way to proceed
WAS by agitation, such as would arouse
6he sense of justice in the white people as
we'll as am0ug the negroes.

COURTESY IN a HOST.
He Shined His Guests Shoes When His
Servants Refused.


The independence displayed by serv-
ants in America invariably forces it.
self on the attention of visitors from
Europe.
A well-known official Of the English
post Office tells very good story on
this point, says the Boston Traveller.
Some years ago he visited America on
business and while staying at New
York he was the guest of a prominent
officer of the Western Onion Telegraph
company, gentleman whose name is
familiar to most Americans
When the Englishman retired at
night he placed his boots outside the
bedroom door, where they were duly
observed next morning by his host,
who asked his wife to get one of the
servants to clean them.
"Oh," replied the lady, che must get
them cleaned at the corner Of the
street, just as you do"
mo, NY dear" remarked her hus-
band, ~ can't ask Mr.. - TO do that
just offer one of the servants half
dollar TO clean them"
II have done so,'' said the lady, "and
they declare they won't"
well, If they won't must" and
forthwith the American seized his
guests boots and polished them IN .
highly creditabIe style
On the morning Of the Englishnaan's
departure his friend accompanied him
70 the steamer. and, just as the whistle
was blown 90 indicate that ali but pas
sengers must go Oh shore. whispered IN
his ear:
"IN tell ron something that will

A KiND-HEARTED CAPTAIN.
While Pursuing Geronimo He Relieves
Two Distressed Dogs.

While Pursuing Geronimo He Relieves
Two Distressed Dogs.
Geronimo, the once powerful and
cruel Indian chieftain of the west, is
now quiet and peaceful prisoner at
Mount Vernon barracks, an army post
upon the Alabama river, short dis
tance above Mobile, says Kate Fields
Washington. During what was known
as the Geronimo campaign settlers re-
siding upon isolated ranches in
Arizona and New Mexico lived in con-
stant terror of his raids. When one
was reported or feared, those on the
line Of the expected raid fed precipi-
lately to the nearest point of safety
usually an army post if it could be
reached-there to remain until the
danger was over. and then, probably,
to return and find buildings burned, all
live things killed or carried away, and
property of every description wantonly
destroyed. In the year 1885 an officer
was sent out with body of troops in
pursuit of Geronimo, who had just
passed, leaving desola ton in his track
One day he came to a beautiful ranch,
showing everywhere the ownership
and care of people of means. It was
entirely deserted. It's occupants had
fled, not even taking time to close the
doors OF the low. roomy dwelling.
With one solitary exception there was
no appearance of life.
Chained to a post were q couple Of
magnificent greyhound puppies of
purest breed. The little creatures Law
side by side upon the ground, nearly
famished from hunger and thirst, al
most too weak to give greeting to what
they knew to be the coming of friends
and help. The captain hastily dis
mounted and went to them, his men
crowding around, eager as himself, to
help. Water was given them and food
from his own rations, but when they
had eaten, the question was what
should be, done with them? 1t wasEim-
possible to take them along in so hasty
a march. They were too young to
hunt for food, and if turned loose
would become the prey of wolves and
coyotes. In the inclosure where they
were they were protected; about
twelve feet in front of the puppies ran
ditch. through which water was
flowing, sight of which had only
served to tantalize them, fastened Just
out of. reach of its cooling draught.
Across the ditch, plainly in view, lay
the heads of several slaughtered cat
tie. In the dry atmosphere of that lat
itude meat does not decay, SO the
heads We're in good preservation and
must have added greatly to the fierce
pangs of hunger of the two dogs. The
captain had several of the heads
brought and laid near the dogs; enough
to furnish food for many days. Then
from Toulouse near by he and his
men took spades and shovels and turned
the course of the ditch for a few
yards, SO that it ran Immediately by
the puppies. After friendly pat to
each grateful dog and a CHEEKY word
of encouragement, the captain mounted
his horse and rode away.

THE IRON TRADE.

CLEVELAND, o.. Sept. 29.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says: 1.-The signs
of improvement in the iron market noted
in the past three weeks continue to in
crease. but at the same careful pace. Iu
raw iron there has been somewhat freer
trading in western markets. Chicago re-
ports what some dealers regard as the be-
ginning of generally better movement.
The principal southern sellers are making
nm effort in the direction of better
prices, and on some grades an advance in
quotations, ranging from - TO so per cent,
has been made. The curtaiiment of the
furnace outputs is beginning TO tell, and
there are predictions that the October re-
port of stocks will show little, if any in
crease.
Among the mills there are more re-
sumptions in prospect, and the scramble
for business is apparent in the extremely
low prices. In soft steel there is no i'm
provement; billet-makers find no bottom
in the market. In steel rails there is no
Improvement, but some better prospects
for orders are reported, the contingency
being continued Improvement in the
money market"
