said that he would, and that dog

fectly willing to do the same.
TO make it short. i got half .
dozen witnesses, who believed rs
did my farmer friend, that truth
had long departed the old Dutch
mans mouth as dwelling place,
and when that parsonage had con-
cluded his testimony ! started to
put them on the stand.
II won't interpose any regular

tlemen, whose names / called, arose
and were sworn. One after the
other got up on the stand and tes-
tilted that they had long known the
Dutch Justice. giving his name;
that they knew his reputation for
truth and veracity in the commun-
ity where he resided: that il was
bad, and that from that reputation
they would not believe him under
oath. AT this point rested, and
informed his Honor that i had
nothing further to present.
Throughout the testimonyimpeacE-
ing him of untruth he had pre-
served an air of mild indifference.
One would never have known by
looking mt him that he was the par
ty under discussion at all. when
l told him that my eviaene-was
all in, he braced up to decide the
case.
1.-The plaintiff, nit his first four
witnesses, witch includes himself
said his Honor, makes holdings out
for his side of der case. Vas dat
all his testimony dis goart must
gife judgment for the defendant,
but deere vas one Odder witness who
makes of himseluf q volunteer,
und who gifes his Testimony witch
completely covers der controversy
in all its barts. Upon his desti-
mony-and he had named himself
as this witness-if it were uncon-
tradicted and unimpeached,
could gife judgment for the blaib-
tiff. But such is not the case.
While the Testimony Of this witness
manning himself-is not contra

orally it is mighty hard ding ia
do, but in dis case must say dol

cessfully imbeached. Derefore, as
it isn't what 1 dink of him myseluf

QUAY IN THE CABINET.
Strongly Talked of for Secretary Of the
Navy'.'Reasons Which Give Color
to His Candidacy.

New York, Nov. Ex-senator Mat
thew Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania.
was the Republican who was talked
about tonight as the prospective secre-
tary of the navy in the Mckinley cabi-
net. At first the report was hardly
credited, for the reason that Mr.. Quay
has two years to serve in the United
States senate, and. If things continue
to run his way in Pennsylvania he can
be reelected at the end of his term.
Nevertheless, there We're Republicans
who said that they We're quite convinced
that Senator Quay is seriously consld-
cred for the navy portfolio.
1t is well known that Pennsylvania
has long wanted a secretary of the
navy. The great shipyards of the
Cramps and the great steel works of
the country are mostly in Pennsylva-
mia, and Senator Quay has always been
hearty believer in good, strong
American navy. 1t was said by the
Republican who knew about this mat
ter that Senator Quay. who is now in
Florida, would not object to the navy
portfolio.
If Mr.. Quay should become secretary
of the navy he would have, it is said, a
still firmer grasp on the Republican
politics of the Keystone state than he
has even now, and while the place of a
senator of the United States is con-
sidered preferable by some to cabinet
PORTFOLIO it was pointed out that, ac-
cording to the present drift of Republic
can politics in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Quay
could afford to accept the navy portfolio
with the knowledge that he could so
perfect his power as to be able to return
to the senate at the expiration of ais
term as a cabinet officer.
Some of the very best known Repub-
licans declared that it would be ad-
visable to keep ones eye on Senator
Quay for the navy portfolio.

MOBS AT ALTOONA.
They will Allow No Negroes to STAY
in the Town.

Paducah, Ky. Nov. 17-Four negroes
We're seriously wounded and five 9TH
ers sDrinkled with buckshot last night
by mob of white men at Altoona. fif-
teen miles from here. on the Tennessee
river. Fifteen negroes We're engaged
in cutting timber for the Standard Oil
company. They had been ordered to
leave, being told that no negro was al
lowed to stop there. John Keeber. the
foreman, decided there was no danger
of violence and the negroes were sit
ting around an old smokehouse. when
mob of fifty men swooped down upon
them and began firing. Some of the
negroes ran into the woods and others
sought refuge in the house with the
foreman. The mob then started to
burn the house, but the foreman sued
for neace and the negroes were given
twenty-five minutes in which TO leave.
The seriously wounded are: Smith,
foreman; Mitch Clark, John Boyd and
Zena jenkins. They We're brought to
this city. No effort has been made to
apprehsnd the mob. Not a negro can
be found for miles around Altoona to-
day. Several men have been killed by
mobs in this neighborhood before.

ADVENTURE WITH A BEAR
LuCretia Ritt,r Climbs a Tree While
Bruin Dev0urs the Contents Of
Her Lunch Basket.

Canton, Pa, Nov. 17.--Lucretia Rit-
ter, a 19-year-old girl. who teaches
school in the Elk Lake district, S:-;;i-
van county, had thrilling experience
with a black bear. yesterday.
While walking alone through the
woods she saw what she thought was
yearling calf in the path ahead of her,
but the beast proved to be full grown
black bear.
Bruin shambled toward her with
mouth open. Miss Ritter made for a
crooked tree close by and managed to
climb to a fork twelve feet above
ground. The bear fell to eating the
contents of her lunch basket. while she
was screaming for help. Having de-
vOured the lunch, the bear demolished
the artificial roses and birds on the
girls hat, which fell to the ground
during her climb. In her frantic ef-
forts to get higher Miss Ritter's cloth
ing became fast to a broken limb, and
she could neither get up nor down. The
bear made no effort to climb the tree.
but held the school nam a prisoner in
the tree nearly three hours. or until
Farmer Skunk came along and dis
covered the girls blight. He was COM
PEELED to crawl up in the tree and lift
her down.
Once on the ground Miss Ritter
tainted.
