TO VOTE WITH
DEMOCRATS.
Negro Preachers in Alabama Ad-
wise Their People
TO Vote With the Party to Which
They Must Look For Pro-
lection.

Birmingham, Ala, July 29.--The
leading colored ministers of Alabama
recently held conference here and
decided to give the support of their
race to the political party that enforc
ed the law requiring separate coaches
for the two races that gave like pun
ishmeuts for like offenses, both to the
negroes and whites; that enacted laws
protecting negro women from ravages
of whites and blacks, and pledging
themselves to maintain law and order.
Their demands were submitted to
Chairman Thomas Plains, of the State
Democratic Committee, who answered
that the Democratic party would
grant them.
To-day the ministers issued an ad-
dress to their race in the State, saying
that, as they must look to a majority
of the best element of the white peo-
pie for protection, it is important that
all negroes vote for Oates and the
Democratic ticket, and urging them
to do so. This practically insures
Oates the support of the majority of
the colored race.

BURNS HER CHILD.
An Inhuman Mothers Horrible
Crime in West Virginia.

Parkersburg, w. Va, July 81
News was received here this evening
of a horrible crime committed in Lin
coin county Yesterday, the details of
which are SO shocking as to be almost
beyond relief. Franklin Valentine, a
married man with respected family,
living not far from Granville, Cal
houn county, has been keeping up n
improper intimacy with a widow
named Mary Trader, living in the
same vicinity. On Sunday last Va
lentine and Mrs. Trader decided to
leave the country, the neighbors hav-
ing made it uncomfortable for them.
The matter was discussed in the pre-
sence of Mrs. Traders four-year-old
child. The little girl did not want to
go, and ran away from home, going
to Valentines home, where she told
Mrs. Valentine that her mother and
Valentine were going to take her
away.
Mrs. Valentine broke up the in
tended elopement, which SO enraged
Valentine and Mrs. Trader that they
decided to take revenge upon the
child. They tied the little one to the
tree in the woods, piled brush around
her and set it on fire, and left the
child to its fate. Fortunately Ira
Johnson, who was hunting, heard the
child's screams and arrived in time to
tear away the blazing wood and re-
lease the child, but not until she had
been horribly burned from her knees
to her. head. The child's clothing
was burned away, her hair burned of
and the skin over her whole body
blistered. She can not recover.
The country people are aroused and
are hunting the guilty couple, and
will wreak vengeance upon them if
found. They are supposed to have
made their way to the Ohio river.

The Sunday school Of the Chris
tian church enjoyed most delight
full picnic in the lawn in front of
Judge B. j. Peters residence in the
edge Of the city, on Thursday last.
The children are indebted to the
Judge for the privilege of using
his splendid grounds for their out
ing. OF all those who enjoyed the
picnic none got more real pleasure
out of it than the venerable Judge
himself. He most thoroughly en-
joyed seeing the hundreds of young
folk spread over his grounds and
getting such pleasure out Of the
day as only youth can.

LEFT THE CowL.
\ The Erstwhile Monk, Charlemagne
Koehler, Home Again.

Charlemagne Koehler, the former
: well-known professor of elocution
kof this city, who created a sensa-
ton by entering monastery at
I Gethsemane, KY, two years ago,
was in the city for the past six
weeks and left yesterday for Co
lumbrs to be treated for throat
trouble.
1t isNsaid that he will not return
to the monastery, but will engage
in his former profession of teach
ing elpcution. He is about 80
year, old, and lived with his wild
owed mother ut 80 Hopkins street.
He remained in the monastery
until last winter, when, it seems,
h he became afflicted with throat
trouble from smoking cigarettes in
! the past. He was sent to Column
bus by the order to be treated by
a specialist there, and then went to
Hot Springs. He came back to
Cincinnati, and has been living
with his mother since then. 1t is
said that he has already secured a
large number of pupils for class
which he will start here in Septem-
ber.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
Prof. Koehler is well known
here, where a few years ago he
taught school at the Catholic
church and afterward taught sever
al classes in elocution. He landed
here among a company of actors
which was stranded. Mr.. Koehler
gave every cent he had to get the
Yladies of the company to their
homes, and took chances among
absolute strangers as to where he
would get his next meal or how he
would provide for himself.

Side Hunts and Fishing Matches

"The too common practice of hold
ing side hunts and fishing matches, in
which lot of men take sides and de-
stroy life to learn which side can total
the most points during day, does not
SAVIOR OF true craftsmanship. The
most successful butchers win the
stakes, usually supper, and the two
teams make merry and imagine that
they are great spOrtsmen. Incidently
the game, or fish of the district where
the event comes off, gets the worst of
of it. The spur of rivalry impels
every contestant to.slaughter as much
as ne possibly can, and the desire to
score points encourages most unspOrt
manlike methods. Very frequently in
the side hunts, points are allowed for
birds which are not recognized as
game, and which might much better
be spared. In any event, whether
shooting or fishing, the amount of fun
enjoyed is far from fair compensation
for the damage done. No bird or fl, h

On last Wednesday morning George
M. Gibson died at his home on Syca-
more street of pulmonary trouble, in
the SD year of his age. His funeral
was preached at the Baptist church
Thursday afternoon by Rev. Everette
Gill, assisted by Elder B. w. Trimble,
and his body was buried in Mach
pelah Cemetery. He leaves a wife,
five-year-old soma bright little tel.
low-mother, three sisters and a
brother to mourn his loss.
George Gibson, born and reared in
this community, was well known to
all of us. For eighteen wears we
have known him. He was full
of life, bright, witty and companion
able, and could not do too much for a
friend. In 1888, under the ministry
of DR.. j. Morgan Wells, he joined
the Baptist Church here. He had
been suffering from the terrible dis
ease which ended his life for five
years, but with it all he worked I'M
tiringly until his energy had been
overcome and his life was near its
end, when he gave up business and
waited the emu. His suffering was
intense, and his prayer was that the
Lord would take him from his weary
suffering. He died firm in the faith,
with the brightest hopes, fearing not
to meet his Master. George Gibson
had many friends, which was evil
denced by their presence at his fun
eral and their floral offerings.

For three weeks past Elder E. V.
Spicer of Louisville, has been holding
a most interesting meeting with the
church at Somerset tins county. The
meeting closed on Friday evening but
the interest was as great at its close
as at any time during its progress.
The audiences that greeted the speak
er taxed the seating capacity of the
house to its utmost, and his able dis
courses were received with the high
est approval by those who heard
them. AS result of the meeting
there were 40 added to the church by

A Negro Brute.

On the evening of the % instant at
Blue LICK Springs, Bill Tyler negro
brute, an employee at the Spring
assaulted a young girl, l3 years
old, who was returning from the
Springs where she had been to deliver
milk, dragging her from her wagon,
beating her in the face to prevent her
from giving any alarm while he accom-
plished his hellish purpose. She was
found by her father some hours after
ward in half conscious state. The
negro went about his business until
he saw a mob organizing when he
escaped but was shortly after
captured.
He was securely lodged in the jail
at Carlisle, but as soon as the madden
ed mob learned of his whereabouts
they, with determination, went to the
Nicholas county jail, secured the
brute and in few minutes his body
was suspended by rope. A just act.
This earth, as bad as it is, is too
good for such a demon. We do not
wish to be understood as favoring
mob law, but there are crimes which
demand speedy punishment.

Assessment the Issue.

State Senator Pinkney ]. Bennett, of Car
roll was in Baltimore last week, and met
Comptroller Smith and State Senator Sloan,
of Allegany, in the lobby of the Carrollton
Hotel. They discussed political issues, and
Senator Bennett is reported by the News as
saying, regarding an assessment
''The people of this State, irrespective of
party, demand reassessment of property, and
they mean to have it. No man can be elected
Governor whose record is not clear, positive
and distinct on this question. The only issue
for the next campaign is the assessment issue
''The people have also made up their minds
as to the kind of an assessment law they want,
and that is one that viii assess every dollars
worth of real and personal property in this
State. As the law stands now, the assessor
comes along and he opens the doors of the
farmers barn and takes down all his cattle,
horses. tools, and, in fact, everything that he
has and makes him pay taxes on all. When
he comes TO the vaults and safes of the banks,
trust companies and corporations he cannot
get in and so he passes them by and they
escape paying their share. We country peo-
pie demand the passage of law that viii open
up the vaults of the banks, trust companies
and corporations, as the law now in force
opens the doors of the farmers stables and
barns and makes him pay on every hoof he
owns.
This is the issue, and no man in either
party will have any chance to win unless he
accepts this issue and has record which will
convince the people fhaf he will keep his
promises. .

The Baltimore Centennial.

The people of Baltimore now seem TO have
taken hold of the Baltimore Centennial in
earnest. They are subscribing literally to the
stock and seem determined TO make the ex-
position to be held in celebration of the city
incorporation one commensurate with Baltl-
more's importance and possibilities.
Baltimore is great city; with great advan-
tages of location and water and rail transpor-
tation lines, and its growth has been rapid and
substantial 1t would have been still greater
had its business men been less modest and
made greater effort to place before the world
its possibilities in all branches of trade, man
ufactures and commerce. And another draw
back has been the detractions of the city gov
ernment by some of its own journals for par
tisan purposes.
But Baltimore is now on the move. Let her
keep it up. Let its newspapers praise its
advantages as a place of residence and bust
ness, and not be parading every real or imag-
mary defect in the management of its affairs,
and let the people, with unanimity, go to work
TO make the exposition equal to or even greater
than the scope that has been outlined.
Baltimore's population is rapidly reaching
GOO, 900, she has 275 miles ofelectric and cable
lines, twenty lines of ocean steamers and in
nnmerable bay craft, excellent railroad facil-
tiles, the finest university in the country and
other high class educational institutions, lOO,-
600 people in her factories, 81, ,OOO, 900 in her
savings banks, and leads the world in the oys-
ter industry, canned goods, cotton duck, copper
refining and in many other matters.
Make the Great Southern Exposition what
Its projectors contemplate, and a year after its
close her population will approximate mil
lion, and size will take that rank to which her
location and advantages entitle her-one OF
the foremost cities in the world.

The Delaware senatorship.


The Republican victory in Delaware has
resulted in split in the party and the expos
ure of shameful bribery and corruption that is
the subject of comment in all the leading
Journals. One Addicks, a-many times mil
lionaire. supplied the bulk of the money to pay
the taxes of Republican delinquents, mostly
negroes, in Kent aud Sussex counties, and IS
said to have put up $4,000 to carry Sussex
county alone. In return he got the pledges OF
The candidates for the Legislature in both
counties to support him for Senator, and these
are sufficient to elect him. Addieks seems to
have no fixed home He is a member of sew
eral clubs in Boston, to which none but resi-
dents of, Massachusetts are eligible to men,
bership. He has an Office and apartments in
New York. an office in Philadelphia, and one,
we believe, in Chicago. He is a gas specula-
tor. and is at the head of big gas trust
Some years ago he purchased farm IN Della
ware. near the Pennsylvania line, and the time
he spends in the state is at the house OF a
woman. near his farm, who has just been made
correspondent in suit for divorce by his wife
Addicks and his wife do not live together, ana
have not for some time.
Addicks is a voter in Delaware and has
been for several years. He is eligible to cleo
tion to the United States Senate, and he has
contracted and paid for the senatorship. he
has only followed the practices of Senator
Higgins. the Republican he wants to succeed,
who bought his election, and he has followed
the tactics of many Republicans in every
state. He did not do as bad as the National
Republican Committee did in 1851, when it
stole the Presidency. That act affected the
whole country; Addicks only debauched one
state. Nor was his purchase as bad as the
purchase of the Presidency in 1880.
Addieks is a typical Republican politician
He believes in buying elections, and he be-
lieves in monopoly and a tariff for protection.
And being typical Republican politician we
do not understand all this hub-bub over his
prospective election to the Senate. Steve
EllSins has just done in West Virginia what
Addieks has done in Delaware, and Addicks
is as much bona fde resident of the Blue
Hen State as Elkins is of West Virginia.
Both will find good company on the RepublI-
can side of the Senate.

Business Integrity.

The North Reformed Church in Clermont
avenue, Brooklyn, New York, has series of
Lay talks to young men. Last Sunday night
s. V. White, Wall Street operator, was the
lay talker, and his subject was Business In
fegrity." Here is an extract from his remarks,
and they contain sound advice, not only to
Young men, but to all men:
Il would have every young pan, whatever his
business lny down for himself certain rules, Ia
which he should adhere most rigidly.
] would bave him make the most careful distine
lion between meum and tuum, and If he is trustee
OF executor or acting in any 6duciary capacity
where he handles money not his own /. would i'm
press npon him the necessity Of keeping separate
arcounts.

one golden rule in three divisions: Cash no check
lend no money, and do no favors for Others with
money not your own
