SLAVERY DAY, IN INDIANA.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Blackford Street Zion church was
filled with colored people last night
who have become interested in the
Booker T. Washington society's meet
ings. The Walker-Chaffer marriage at
Munice recently-a case where a col
ored man married a white woman and
was arrested and put under bond there
for-was indirectly under discussion.
Two colored men from Munice, w. II.
Stokes and ]. L. Durham, were pres
ent. Stokes was criticised for introduce
ing politics in the meeting in connection
with his remarks. The society had In
vited William Watson Woollen to make
an address on 'Indiana's Blacks and

THE same legislature that enacted

From the Baltimore Herald.
Sic Hassan Ben Ali, an Arab, who is
guest of New Guys hotel, is a native
of Sous, in Northwest Africa a country
west of Morocco. The country is. to a
certain extent, under the dominion Of
the sultan of Morocco, but only to a
limited extent The chief of each tribe
has to pay tribute to the sultan. Has
san was employed four years collecting
this tribute. The chief tells many in
teresting stories of his country and the
strange habits and pastimes of his
countrymen.
There is one custom which is re-
ligiously observed by all my country
men," he told the reporter THAT is as
long as a person is in another's tent he
is under the protection of the owner
and he cannot be injured. For instance,
IL you should kill my brother and come
into my tent, or so much as touch the

young men would get together and go
where the balloons lived. We would
pile up stones to make a sort OF blind.
Then we would put bread outside to
attract the suimals. and hide behind
the blinds. Soon the balloons would
come out OF the rocks TO get the food,
and when they would get close enough
we would shoot them. They generally
had young ones with them. and these
we would take TO the train or sell 20

the size OF a baseball. and played some

IS WOMAN SELFISH.

Considered as Street Car Patron She Il
Slightly Open so That Suspicion.
From the Chicago Tribune.
1t was on a southbound Cottage Grove
avenue car that the incident happened. II
was O'Clock In the afternoon and every
seat In the car was occupied by women.
There was just one man In the car, and
he was standing up. He was weary after
days hard work. and as he was going
TO Fiftieth street he looked forward rath-
er eagerly to the moment when one OF the
women would leave the car and thus give
him a seat.
He congratulated himself upon his good
fortune when he saw one of the women
signal the conductor to stop at Sixteenth
street, and as she arose and moved to-
ward the door he started toward the va
cant seat. He did not get IL, however, for
at that moment the two women on eth
er side partially arose. shook out their
skirts a little. and when they settled
back In their seats the vacancy was a
thing of the past.
He was a trihe disconnected. but he
held onto the strap and patiently bided
his time.
As the car approached Michigan ave-
nue. at Twenty-second street he saw two
or three women giving evident signs of
disembarking. and hope rose high within
his breast He even debated a little in his
mind as to which seat he would select.
Sure enough, three women did leave the
car at that point. but. alas. for his
hopes! Before he could reach any of the
seats there was another partial rising Of
women. another shaking out of skirts and
complete absorption OF all vacant
places.
Did any of them look as though they
had knowingly deprived him of a seat?
Bless you. no. There was an express
sion of the sweetest unconsciousness up
on all their faces. and as the man gazed
down upon them, looking in vain for
some tell-tale expression of shame at the
selnsh manifestation, he marveled much
1t was growing interesting to him now.
and his anxiety to get a seat was forgot
ten In his curiosity to see how much
longer the women would continue their
present tactics.
AT Thirty-first street two more got off
He might have secured seat at this
point had he been very anxious but he
waited moment to see what the women
would do. and after a moments hesita-
uon the old process was gone through
with. and the vacant places were absorb
ed What look of satisfaction, too
there was upon their faces as they sur
veyed their ample skirt breadths spread
out, without check or hindrance on eth
err side
~ - MN SticeN TWO more left the
car. The situation had now become in
teresting, for IL hardly seemed possible
TO close these gaps. There was a NOM
ents anxious inspection OF the situation
however, and then another skilfully ex-
ecuted plan of absorption. and how BEAM
ing those women did look as they observ-
ed the complete success of their under
taking.
AT Thirty-ninth street. however. the
barrier was hopelessly broken; human in
genuity could do no more, and with signs
of disappointment the remaining women
sank back and beheld the lone male pas
senger sink YEARLY into a seat.

one acting on the wheels directly and
the other on the rails. In addition there
is an electric emergency brake. which
will stop the car in a few yards, even
when going quickly down hill. The
principle of IL consists in short-circuit-
ing the motors, which are then driven
as dynamos by the momentum of the
car, which Is thus rapidly stopped. An
American company strung the overhead
wires and equipped the cars. 1r

AN IMPORTANT STRIKE.
Milling Ore in the Overland at Only
Depth of 40 Feet.

Encouraging news continues to come
in regarding the recent strike in the
Overland mine, near the Sunshine, at
Sunshine, and claim-owners there are
now returning to work with renewed
hope and vigor.
This strike was made few days ago
at depth of only 140 feet, but the good
news was not made public until it was
ascertained that the ore deposit was a
permanent one and carried values Suf
ficient to make a hurrah over. Suisse
Quent work. however, has almost en-
tire1y removed all doubts on the sub
ject, especially as reports from the
mines received last night stated that
the shaft had cut eleven feet into the
ore body and was still in mineral, the
values of which, by assay tests, were
high enough to make it a paying mill
ing proposition.
This is one of the most important
discoveries of the year in that portion
of Camp Floyd district, as it proves
without a doubt the continuity of the
ore body. The mineral is a fine quartz
GRE and carries no arsenic.
Judge Sherman ordered a whim for
the Overland yesterday, and it is the
intention to develop this mine in a
most systematic and thorough manner.
This property is largely Union Pa
cific venture, some of the most prom
inert officials of the road being iden-
titled with the company E Dickinson
land w. II. Bancroft being included in
its directory. Judge W. A. Sherman is
president of the organization, George
w. z. Dorsey secretary and j. NJ.
Stout treasurer.
From present indications the future
of the Overland is assured.

THE HOME MEETING.
Gratifying Recognition Given to the
Local Insurance Company BY Bus
mess Men.

The directors of the Home Fire In
sUrance company held their usual
monthly meeting on the 18th and re-
ceived reports from the general agents
of the amount of business done for the
first four months of the year. The vol
ume of business was stated to be great
er than ever before and the fire losses
much lighter A gratifying recognition
of the Home company was reported in
the action of the trustees of the Brig
ham Young Trust company, who had
decided to place the great bulk of all
their extensive insurance interests
throughout the city hereafter with the
Home company. The president stated
that a large number of new risks of
the best class had recently been issued,
one being on the state library in the
city and county building, one on the
new business block owned by Mr. r.
Macintosh, and another on the Weber
stake tabernacle at Ogden. The evil
dence of the confidence the public re-
poses in the Home company and of the
general desire TO keep money at home
by supporting it, President Grant stat
ed. were multiplying daily.
The financial statement of most of
the insurance companies represented
by H j. Grant & Co. appear in today's
Herald.

GREAT IS THE sIDRCuR.
Every Drift and Slope in Large
Bodies of Fine Milling Ore.

Superintendent John Treweek, of the
Mercur mine. who was in the city yes
terday, informs The Herald that the
mine is looking bigger and greater
than ever. The main incline on the
Ruby, he says, on the pitch of the vein,
is showing up a face of mineral 20 feet
thick, which is all high grade milling
ore, way above the average, and this
is the deepest workings in the Ruby
81 ound. This ore is now being shipped
to the Mercur mill, and with the i'm
proved process now employed. the out
put for this month will necessarily be
heavier and greater in value than for
several months past. The drifts and
slopes in the Matte are also looking
unusually well, with their faces all in
ore that can be milled at a good pro-
fit
Mr.. Treweek feels much encouraged
over the outlook fer the mine, and also
for the balance of the camp, which, he
says, is without rival in the west
