And they were drenched with the rain,
cold with the wet, sadly in need of over
coats and clothing even more necessary,
perhaps wanting breakfast. 1t was then
we'll on in the afternoon. Ladies looked
down from the verandas in establishment.
and loungers of the cafe and court opened
their eyes wide and asked what it all
meant.
Then the manager appeared, and one of
the unbldden visitors held brief inter-
view with him.
I'VE represent the unemployed men,"
said the leader. producing a copy of a
morning paper containing an article
which represented that the manager, who
had literally supplied them with food, was
not able to get one of them to work for
him at ST day. "This is what we come
to ask you about. We know nothing of
this, and 1t is a shameful way OF treating
men who are willing to work.
The manager explained that he was ig-
norant OF what had appeared In the paper.
and added that be could give them no
further answer, and as he did not need
them they could leave.
During the excitement of their marching
Into the hotel, some one telephoned for
police. In few minutes a patrol wagon
with i've policemen dashed up to the New
Montgomery street entrance. Three Off
GERS were there already and the eight men
marched around the court aud made a

INSANE AND SUICIDAL.
An Aged Man Escapes From a Hos.
pital and Cuts His Wrist.

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 9.-Yesterday fore
noon an old miner named S. j. Doyle. who
had been under treatment at the Ridge
Home Hospital. suddenly became crazy
and decided to leave the Institution. He
ran away bareheaded and coatless, board
ed a street car and went to the police
station. He was placed in the receiving
hospital where he was kept until he be-
came quieted, and then he was returned
to Ridge Home IN carriage. But DOYLE
would not remain there and when he got
an opportunity he ran away again. About
O'Clock this morning, while passing the
new pavilion on Fifteenth street,
man heard some one groan-
ing in the yard. He made an investi-
cation and there found Doyle lying in O
pool of blood and beside him lay re-
volver. 1t was at once concluded that the
man had shot himself, but it was ascer-
tanned after he was taken to the Receiving
Hospital that he had gashed himself on
the wrist with knife, hoping to die from
the loss of blood. The old man was very
weak from the loss of blood and exposure
To-day Doyle was sent out to the County
Hospital. The old man said he had pur-
chased the pistol yesterday, but had not
shot himself because he feared the bullet
would not take effect. He had gone down
to the river bank and fred at log, but the
bullet, he says, did not make any impress
sion on the wood

EVIL EFFECTS OF SLAVERY.

CINCINNATI, NOV. 29.-The National
Atro-American convention opened yester-
day with 525 delegates. At the evening
session Bishop Turner delivered a long
and pointed address. He said that if he
were to judge from the accounts ot the
atrocities committed by the colored popu-
lation OF the South it would seem due
alone to the amazing grace of Providen e
that they were assem bled in convention.
If they found upon investigating that the
reports were all true they ought to band
together as respectable colored citizens to
help erminate the iends. II. however.
they found the reports exaggerated, they
should exert every effort to induce Con-
gress and the people at large to put down
the Infamous lynchiDgs and mobs that
have been so prevalent.
Ii the white people were to be put in
slavery for hundreds of years and then
suddenly freed and turned loose on the
country without money and with no
means of earning living they might be as
bad as the colored men. AS proof that
colored men are not naturally vicious, the
Bishop cited the fact that in the West
Indies they outnumber the whites about
twenty to one, and yet such crimes as
they have been charged with in this coun-
try are never heard of. The Bishop advO-
Gated, instead of death as a punishment,
the cutting off of hand. ear or nose.
The Bishop said that when he was in
the army he wanted to have a leg or arm
shot off. He was ashamed to return home
unframed for fear be might not be thought
loyal soldier. Now, however, be thanked
God that he had not shed blood for coun-
try that refused to own him. This brought
down the house and cheering and waving
of hats, canes and handkerchiefs con-
tinued for several minutes.
At the close of his speech be brought up
his pet idea of cOlored emigration to AT
RIGA. He laid before the convention the
promising features of a country of their
own, where they could have free repub-
lie and unlimited resources in the richest
continent on the globe. His sentiments
were received with enthusiastic applause.
