JUDGE HENRY L. EDMoNDs, of the
Criminal Court. of ST. Louis today
adopted rule requiring that all foreign
ers who wish TO be naturalized in his

THE WEEKS NEWS.
TUESDAY. FEBRUARY ae.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS, the noted freed
man, orator, and diplomat, died few
minutes before.7 o'clock the evening of
Feb. Doth, at his residence ia Anacostia,
asuburb of Washington, of heart fail
ure. His death was entirely unexpected
as 4he had been enjoying the best of
health. During the afternoon he at
tended the Women's Convention, and
chatted with Susan B. Anthony and
others of the leading members with
whom he had been on intimate terms for
many years. When he returned home
he said nothing of any feeling Of illness,
though he expressed himself as being a
little exhausted from the climb up the
stairs leading from the street to his
house, which is built on high terrace.
He sat down and chatted with his wife.
Suddenly he gasped, clapped his hand
to his heart, and fell back unconscious.
A doctor was hastily summoned. and ar
rived within very few moments, but
his efforts to revive MIR. Douglass were
hopeless from the first. Within twenty
minutes after the attack the faint mo-
tion of the heart ceased entirely, and
the great ex-slave statesman was dead.
The death of Mr.. Douglass removes
one of the most striking figures Of
American history, and his departure
from the sphere of his usefulness leaves
void that cannot be filled, and deprives
his race of it's most potent advocate.
Few names in American history are sur
rounded with so much of the romance
that delights the youth or instructs the
old, as is the name of this man, born a
slave on Maryland plantation more than
three-quarter of century ago. yet who,
through his own practically unaided
efforts, and at times com batting against
odds that would have overwhelmed a
weaker man, climbed to the dizzy heights
of fame.
Though OF an origin humble even for
a slave he has numbered among his
friends the possessors of the brightest
intellects that have adorned the century
in this country and in Europe and the
wearers of all titles and patents of no.
bility. He probably was alone in the
world in having lived to see all the hopes
of his earlier years realized beyond, in
deed. his most fanciful longings. AS an
orator he probably had no peer and he
has enriched the language by addition
of many particularly striking epigrams,
one Of which-"0ne and God are ma
jority"-will serve as an example of their
originality and strength. The remains
were taken to Rochester, N. Y, for
burial.

SECRETARY GRESHAM has received from

cablegram stating that the council has
entered decree prohibiting the import
alton until further orders of American

cattle coming from the United States,
the Ambassador will call for proof of the
fact.

competing with such brands as Fruit OF
the LOOM" "Wamsutta." and many other
noted brands of northern make. The gen.
eral tendency of southern manufacturers
who are extending their plants. or building
new ones, is to fit them for fine work, and
we believe this to be good judgment on
their part.
In a recent interview with William 3.
Smith Whaley, a prominent southern mill
engineer. who not only has large invest
ments OF his own in southern mill stocks.
but is. perhaps, one of the best posted gen.
tlemen in the south In connection with this
business. We're shown the goods from
three different mills. All of these goods
We're bleached, and they had every appear
ance of being as perfect as goods made in
the north of the same pick and sley, and
made from the same numbers of yarn. Mr..
Whaley, in our recent interview with him.
said: 81 am intending to manufacture in
the Richland cotton mills, of Columbia, for
which am now placing orders for Indchin-
cry, the finest goods made in the south.
In some OF them / shall put over 100 picks
to the inch He further said: 1.-The time
has come when the south can successfully
Manufacture medium fine goods, and the
mills that first attempt it Will be the ones
that will get the best money out OF it
From our own practical observation of mills
in that section, We believe that Mr.. Whaley
is right in this matter. In many parts OF
the south mill arranged for fine work and
equipped with northern oyCrseers and sec
ond hands, as well as superintendent that
are used to that class of goods, can be sue
cesSfully operated in competition with
northern mills on the same grade Of work.
The soutn Will soon produce large quanti-
ties of iine goods, as fine, perhaps, as cap
be produced on a spinning frame, for it is
hardly probable that mules viii be in use
much in that section for some years, If they
are ever popular there.
The Increase in the cotton mills at the
present time seems to be mostly in the di-
rection of the south and is perhaps as largo
as il should be for their good There ara
already over 10000 new cotton splndleI
projected for different sections. all Of which
will probably be running inside Of one year.
In this large increase there Is great danger
Of the help supply being short in certain
sections. This would oblige them to 90 into
the mountains for their help aad take Up
with very much poorer class. For hose
who are contemplating building new mills
~ the south this fact should not escape
their attention.

Rome. Ca, February S.-tSpecaI.) The
Constitution q fcw days ago told of a
queer village in this county called Haynic.
This place was Incorporated in 1898 and
Immediately thereafter it was decided to
sell liquor there. Since then some high
old times have been noticed in the neigh
borhuod and the attention Of some county
officials was attracted. Ii has been alleged
that the town WAS Illegally incorporated
ana the grand jury now in session has in
vestigated the matter. As a result true
bills have been found against two Sims and
two Mhartons Tor selling liquor without
license.
The cause Of this is the charge that
there are nearly i've voters in the place,
not enough to make the corporation legal.
All this viii be aired In the courts and the
