joot, which have been collected with great
care by DIR. do Sausscno of Charleston,
would seeIn % indicate that 80 far as large
towns at least are concerned the answer ~
this question must bo In the affirmative.
AT all events, DR. do Sausscne has sue

people In tho cities is boiDg constantly re-
plcDished by fresh arrivals from the coun-
try there would soon be very few Of them
left.
Taking DR.. do Saussene's own city of
Charleston as an illustration, the statistics
show that In the Ia years from 1880 To
1894 the deaths among the colored people
exceeded the births by 5,f28. There were,
In fact, three deaths for every two births.
What makes the situation still more
serious IL that the greatest mortality IL

In all southern cities the death rate of the
colored population Is from 90 TO 1l5 per

CRISIS IN L. A. W. AFFAIRS.
Horsemen Plan to Combine Trotting and
Bicycle Races.

bicycle Races.
There Is crisis In the affairs of the
League of American Wheelmen, tho off.
Gals are cognizant OF tho fact, and the
shoals, which looked dangerous few days
ago, will in all probability be passed over
In safety. AS announced, the League of
American Wheclmen has taken charge Of
professional racing in this country, and
with the cooperation Of the board Of trade
practically assured outside promoters who
are hungry to indulge In bicycle pie that
they will have to feast on some other diet.
1t was rumored some time ago that a
syndicate OF horsemen would be formed to
take charge Of professional bicycle racing.
In fact, meeting was held recently at
which were present David Bonner of the
National Trotting association. Hamilton
Busby and w. J. Morgan. The plan as
outlined at present has some clever fea-
lures. The idea is to have bicycle contests
In conjunction with the trotting races, at
which handsome cash prizes will be offered
to the riders. The present system of handi-
Gaping riders will be dropped and the
wheelmen will be classified as Is done In
trotting, and the faster a man rides the
faster he will move up in his class, the
riders being classed from Q to 2:4O minute
men.
That considerable work has been done
already Is assured, for committee waited
upon A. q. Spalding the president Of the
board Of cycling trade, a few days ago to
ask him II he would accept the presidency
Of the new association. The horsemen
contemplate, in case they secure the fast
cycle riders, building regular bicycle tracks
inside the present trotting tracks, as they
realize that mile course will not do for
cycling.-New York Tribune.

Queer Evidence In a Divorce Suit.

An interesting feature of the divorce
suit of Elizabeth Stewart against Dr. John
A. Stewart In San Francisco recently was
the introduction Of novel entitled "a
Search For Heart" written by the de-
fendant in China. The novel tells Of love
affairs of the hero, Hugh Blair, and goes
into details of adventures and contains
passionate utterances.
Mrs. Stewart claims that the book Is
really an autobiography of tho defendant,
the various characters discussed being Civ
en- fictitious names She recognizes people
she has known and with whom she alleges
the doctor was intimate. She alleges that
Hugh Blair is mono other than the doctor
himself. Francisco Chronicle.

Christians Murdered In Ammonia.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who has long
been interested in the Armenian question,
writes that the number of Christians mur-
dcred In Armenia by the Mohammcdans
within 75 years exceeds $4,000. Under
Turkish laws Christians are forbidden to
carry arms, and the cruel features of the
long continued slaughter have not been
exaggerated. Tho Armenians have been
Christians for /, 800 years, and their good
qualities arc shown by the fact that La
MARITIME called them the Swiss Of the east.
There are several thousand Armenians In
Massachusetts, and not one OF them Is In
prison or almshouse. Mrs. Howe hopes
that civilized nations will unite to prevent
further barbarities upon worthy and in
dustrious Christian peoplc.-St. Louis

Cleveland, In Book Form.
Representative Richardson Of Tennessee
Is making good progress in his work Of
compiling the inaugural addresses, mes
sages and proclamations of presidents from
1889 to date. At the last session Of con-
gress this work was authorized, and the
joint committee on printing of the house
and senate requested Mr.. Richardson to
make the compilation. Mr.. Richardson
has been engaged on the work for several
weeks, and the first volume Of the COM
pilation will be ready to be sent to the gov
ernment printing office today or tomor-
row. This volume covers the period from
Washington to Van Buren,, inclusive. Be-
sides the documents to be embraced in this
work there will be steel engravings Of all
the presidents. Mr. Richardson has found
1t rather difficult to decide upon title for
this compilation. He Is now inclined to
call 1t Papers by the Presidents. The
compilation when complete will make
three or four volumes. Washington Star.

When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries physician.
Consumptives would never die if they
could regain their usual weight. In
fact there would be no consumption
if there were no wasting. of the
system. The cause of this loss of
flesh is a failure to properly
digest the food eaten. Nine-tenths of
all the diseases date back to some
arrangement of the stomach. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop
this wasting of the body. 1t acts by
causing the food we eat to be digested
SO as to do good, for undigested food
does more harm than good. The
Cordial contains food already
digested and a digester of foods as
we'll.
