AGAINST MAGEE.

The Evidence Is Strong That He Killed
Martha Fuller.
New YORK, March 2O.-Circumstan-
tial evidence is arrayed strongly against
the story told by Lawyer Joseph T. Ma
gee, in whose Office Miss Martha J.
Fuller, the pretty typewriter, was shot.
Magee occupies cell in the Tombs
now, and the result of the autopsy held
by Coroner's Physician Conway tends to
back up the charge of homicide against
him by the police of the Oak street sta
ton.
Miss Fuller was shot at $50 p. IN.
Saturday. A moment or two later, when
some tenants of Nassau Chambers
rushed in they saw her lying in the
agony of death on the floor by her type
writer desk. Magee, the lawyer with
whom she had been in the office alone
for over an hour, was pacing up and
down the floor excitedly wringing his
hands. He recovered his self lf-possession
almost Immediately, however, and when
a boy from neighboring Office picked
up the revolver which lay alongside the
prostrate woman Magee sharply chided
him, saying:
You should have let that pistol stay
where it was!'
Magees account of the choting was
that Miss Fuller had started to leave the
Office, and then asked him to excuse her
a moment and returned to the room in
which his and her desk were located.
He heard the shot, and, rushing in,
found her speechless and dying on the
floor. The prisoner told this story to
Coroner Fitzpatrick. He had nothing to
add. nothing to retract.
But DR.. Conway's autopsy disclosed
that Miss Fuller was shot in the left
temple. The pistol was held close to
her head. The development of her right
arm and side showed that she was not
left handed. Her left hand was partly
gloved. The glove was drawn over four
fingers, but not the thumb, and lay
clinched in the p,lm Of her hand. The
bullet went straight through her fore
head and came out of her right temple.

the average negro has more natural
intelligence than the average igno-
rant white man, since belong half
to your race and half to the other.
If there has been any mistake
made in the education of my people
in the South thus far, it is that of
trying to make good christians OF a
hungry people. No matter how
long any people have belonged to
the church and get happy and shout,
as they do, if they 60 home hungry
at night and do not find anything to
eat, they are tempted to find some
thing before morning.
1 simply mean to say by this that
We must give attention to the mate
rial as we'll as to the religious side OF
the question.
The relations between the races in
the South will be changed for the
better, in proportion as the black
people get hold Of something that
the white people want or respect.
The Southern white people have
not yet reached the point where
they will invite colored people gen
orally to their prayer meetings; but
they will invite them to their stocks
holders meetings. Let there be ten
colored men in any Southern town
worth $4,000 each and there will be
no race problem there. The most
sensible colored people have settled
down to the fact that it is best for
them to give their strength to the
acquiring property, education and
morality, if these do not give them
all the rights enjoyed by any other
citizen, then everything in nature is
false.

Negro wanted and should have was
fair and equal chance in the de-
velopment of those qualities with
which he was so richly endowed.
The subject was enthusiastically dis
cussed from beginning to end and
the keenest interest was manifested.
The spirit Of those present was ex-
cellent, an earnestness and determl|
nation of purposes seemed to be the
general feeling to do something in a
more practical way for the Negro on
the part Of his friends in future,

Once more I come to the front

we have in our county Jail twenty :
three prisoners all for capital ofenss
es and all negroes, and not one OF
them over thirty-Gve syears of age.
1t is dark showing for our young
men and women. Now the question
is with us, what are we to do to put
stop to such actions, or can q stop
be put to it?
Several of our citizens here are

which to try to improve our young

The Missouri River Is Now Said to Be
Dwindling Away.

The Missouri River Is Now Said to Bs
Dwindling Away.
(. ATCHIsoN, Kan, March 20.-The gov
ernment engineers have made queer
discovery. They have just completed a
survey of the upper Missouri and as far
down as this point, and in their opinion
the river is rapidly dwindling and in
time will become small stream. As
they figure it. the volume of water is
fully 20 per cent less than it was in
1873, when similar observations were
taken.
One singular circumstance is that
there is more water in the upper reaches
of the river than in some of the lower.
Thus, at Great Falls, Montana, the vol
ume was found to be 4,796 cubic feet
per second, while rs miles further down
at Fort Benton, it was but 4,331 cubic
feet. The engineers say that eyeless
fish have been caught along this stretch
of 25 miles, and the theory is that there
is an opening there into that great sub
terranean body Of water known as the
South Dakota artesian basin, whose ex-
istence has long been asserted.

was "What is the wisest way of at.

of the colored race"
Prof. Booker T. Washington,
