Shocking Crime OF Charles simp'On, a
Worthless Youth OF Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. IA. "A vicious
brute, 20 years Of age, deliberately cut
off the thumb Of little nine.year-old
girls right hand, because she leased
him by shaking a skipping rope at
him. The dastardly trick was done in
meat and grocery store at Twenty.
third and Agnes avenue. The poor
little victim was Clara Sprague,
not yet ten years of age, daughter
of Mrs. Sarah Sprague, a widow
living at 20l5 East Twenty-first street.
The vile scoundrel who did the deed
was Charles Simpsons worthless youth
of 90, who now occupies cell at police
headquarters. There was ugly talk
about the neighborhood of tarring
and feathering party. Simpsons ar.
rest was probably all that saved him.

Thurman entered politics in 1874 when

he was nominated for congress by
the democratic convention of his dis
trict and was elected. entering the
house of representatives December l,
1915, as its youngest mem Der. He was
afterwards elected to the supreme
court of his state, serving as SUI
ureme justice towards the end. After
ward Mr.. Thurman was chosen United
States senator to take the place of
Benjamin +. Wade and he took his
seat March 4, 1869. During his sena-
torial labors Judge Thurman served
on the judiciary committee, of which
he was for time chairman, and on
the committee on private land claims,
and did splendid work on both.
In 1850 Judge Thurman was a candi-
date for president before the demo-
cratic national convention at Cinciu-

the nomination.
Atthe close of his service in the senate
Judge Thurman returned to his home
in Columbus and resumed the practice
OF law. In 1883 came the red bandanna
campaign. Cleveland and Thurman
were nominated at st. Louis amid
great rejoicings by the democrats. The
ticket was defeated and Judge Thur
man retired from active politics, re-
spected and admired by his immediate
neighbors and honored by the whole
people of the country without regard
TO party.
There was one popularity about
Judge Thurman. To visitors he was
always at home at night-never during
the day. His custom was to chat with
callers and the family after the six
o'clock dinner, and then, after ten
o'clock, take up his reading. Very
often he read all night, and the sun
shone in his window before he lay
down the book. During the day he
slept lie had no hour for retiring and
none for awakening.

COCORED MEN.
They Hold a Meeting and Perfect o Na.
tional Organization.


DETROIT. Mich, Dec. 1.-THE ma
tional colored mems conference was
late in converting yesterday morning.
+. c. Cole, of Davenport, Ia, proposed
plan for permanent national orgnni-
cation which provided for local asso-
citation in every city and village in the
country, whose members would pledge
themselves to procure evidence against
participators in mob outrages, and aid
in the suppression of all kinds of
crime. 1t was referred to the commit.
tee on national plan.
One of the delegates suggested as q
remedy for lynching that the county
in which one of these crimes took
place should be required to pay $40, 600
to the family of the victim.
An address to the country was adopt.
ed by the conference in the after.
noon. 1t says that the status of the
colored race in the United States bears
a closer analogy to that of the deni.
zens than to the honorable and
indefensiblc rights of native
born citizenship, and that in at
ASnot ShASS oe1eSo VI thC ClllLCus
ship is farce, which, in default of alb.
solute protection, should be exchanged
for the panoply Of some more paternal
form of government. The objects Of
the movement is defined to be the as
sertion of opposition to every species
of injustice perpetrated upon the
race; to render more effective
the moral, educational and so.
cial forces which freemen ought
to exercise; to form compact
national organizations; to assume q
new attitude among the citizens Of the
nations, not unduly arrogant, but one
which shall resent the assumption Of
inferiority. This, the address declares,
it is necessary to do after a generation
of selfish Indifference and un-American
and mont Christian contempt.
A plan of permanent organization
was presented and finally adopted.

NEW YORK, Dec. l4.-Treasurer Lem
non, when the Federation of Labor

terday, moved that the commit

ceive the savings of the la
boring classes, invest them in
insecure investments" ran another
resolution offered for adoption by the
committee on resolutions, "be it re-
solved, by this federation that the gov

committee resolution in favor of the
postal banks was confirmed by the
convention.
