"Who is this that darl<cnrth counsel by
words without understanding"
In this particular instance it refers
directly to Senator Peffer, of Kansas.
who has, after the manner Of Kansas
political cranks, received II new rev
citation and is in opposition to free
coinage and forming an impossible
scheme to issue money based on land
values. Some people might be un-
charitable enough to infer that III or
der to create confusion and petty fog
the main and only question, Silver,
that the goldhugs had induced the
gentleman to promulgate his new
financial gospel just at this time
And stranger things have happened.
All our national ills are attributable to
forsaking old paths; and what is
needed to restore our country to its
former content and prosperity is to
resume the old methods and keep in
the old track Why will not some
crank of national reputation get crazy
on this idea instead of going of on
some ab,tru>e theory devised by
Satan and that Satal him elf cannot
explain mtellisently Religion, pol
itics and law all need to get down
nearer to common sense basis.

THE STRIKE IS STILL ON.
The Miners Held Another Meeting Yesterday Morning MT. Seddon Is Expected
 on the Ground.

Brookside, Aug. 6.-(Special.)- )-The min CTS of the Sloss Iron and Steel company at this place, East and West Brazil and Cardiff, are still out on strike, and from prospects tonight they will be out for some time. A few men went to work this morning at this place but at Cardiff and the Brazils nothing was done.
 At 10 o'clock, according to the pro- gramme, they held a meeting, which was attended by about 200. They went to work on a strike campaign, appointed grievance committee, one for relief and another to attend meeting at Blossb burg Thursday night.
 A few speeches on the situation were made and that was about the extent or the business. While there were hardly as many in attendance today as last night, they seemed a little more determined to make it fight to a finish. It was the prevalent opinion last night that the Blossburg men would also come out this morning, but they did not do so. Instead some of the miners from that place at tended this mornings meeting and stated that they would hold meeting Thursday night and if the affair had not been brought to a close then they would Joln those already out. The men at Blocton and other places will be called upon for aid to continue the fight.
 Superintendent Culverhouse so far seems as determined as ever to stick up to his side and not to give away to the strikers.
 He wired MT. Thomas Seddon, who was on his way to New York, this morning to come to Birmingham at once. He will arrive tonight and will probably holo consultation with Superintendent culver house tomorrow morning.

OCCASIONS NO UNEASINESS.
The Withdrawal of Gold Is Legitimate and Not
 Speculative.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Treasury officials look for withdrawal of about $2,5O00oo of gold this week. They have unoihcial advices to the effect that the large coffee importing houses will make such de- mand. The situation, however, occasions no uneasiness in Washington official cir cles nor in Wall street. as it is well un- derstood that this withdrawal is in the course of legitimate business, and rot conducted by spectators Just what the syndicate will do is question upon which the treasury officials say they are not advised. If it sees fit to fill up the hole if will do so without consulting them. The gold reserve today stood at $l04,539. O79. but it is said by Saturday this will be reduced to $102, 100000. Some officials profess to look upon this as crfflcai week for the treasury. Ordinarily at this season of the year gold begins to flow to- wards inc United States. and it is be- lieved that unless something now unfore- seen intervenes imports of gold will soon begin and the surplus will be settled bv the ordinary course of trade

tRRlBLE SIGHT MET THEIR GAZE
"Now watch me kill Doctor"

Now watch me kill Doctor
 These were the words of a 10-year-old lad referring to another lad three years his junior and addressed to other chil- dren standing around.
 The saddest part of the affair was the fatal result which followed the remark made so innocently and merely as jest. Little Noah Mask is dead and his little friend and companion, Willie Bearden, is red handed with his life blood, though really guilty of no crime.
 protracted meeting has been in prog ress one mile north of Caldwells mill on Cahaba river, and all the people in the neighborhood have been in daily attend. ance. Yesterday Mr J. D. Mask and family and MT. Calvin Bearden and fam. fly were in attendance and after the serv, ice had concluded MT. Bearden invited his neighbours family to spend the re mainder of the day with his family. Int invitation was accepted and all repaired to MT. Bearden's home happy in having heard the word of God eXpounded and il having joined in the service of song
 This happiness however, was destined to be turned into mourning. While tn, elders of the two families were seated a; the dining room table eating their noon day meal the younger members were il an ad1olnlng room amusing themselves as best they knew how
 Suddenly the old people were shocked by the heavy report of gun and heart rending shrieks from the adjoining room Rushing into the room from whence thu noise came horrible and shocking sigh was disclosed. There on the floor la, little Noah Mask, with great hole in hi left temple, and blood and brains oozinl from the ghastly wound.
 Bending over him, still grasping in hi fright the instrument of death was VII lie Bearden, his whole frame shakinl with mingled fear and grief. He was S, frightened that speech for a time had lef his tongue and it seemed that his mint had been wrecked.
 Though almost crazed themselves a the horrible picture before them, th} frantic parents picked the little fellow ut and made attempts, futile though they were, to stop the life blood, which was fast ebbing away. In ten minutes ali was over and the little fellows spirit had gone to join the Heavenly host and two families were almost crazed with grief.
 It was finally learned that Willie Bear den had discovered a single barreled gun lying under a bed in the room and stoop ing down he drew it out. Raising it tt his shoulder he said Now, watch ml kill Doctor!' and pulling the trigger thu gun exploded with the above results.
 Willie did not think the gun was load ed, and using the nickname of hi companion he made the remark whicI preceded an innocent, though terrible death.
 No blame was attached by the parenti of the dead boy to his companion ant both families were locked together il grief which only fond parents cal understand and feel.
 The funeral will take place today.

Carefully Planned.

Foo Chow, Aug. 6.-The. survivors of the massacre at Kucheng say that the work of the mob had evidently been care fully planned and all arrangements for the destruction of the mission stations and killing or driving out of foreigners were carried out with diabo1ical cruelty.

The rumor was current in the city at mid night that further riots had occurred nearer to Foo Chow than Kucheng

Old man Mobiles being murdered in cold blood with hatchet and his body buried in a shallow grave, but there were many extenuating cir cumstances, and if Debbe tells the truth, and her statements bear the evidence of ii, Mrs. Nobles cannot be blamed for wishing to rid herself of such q cruel and inhuman husband.
