others made their escape. The negro
caught her by the throat, but met with
fierce resistance. After choking her
ALMOST into insensibility, he tore her
clothes Oft. Johnson, the prisoner, on
being pnt on the stand denied the
whole affair but admitted that he was
with three other negroes who threw
stones at the women.
Both Mrs. Faber and Mrs. Atwell
positively identified the negro as the
one who assaulted them. johnson was
then remanded to Jail without bail to
await the action of the grand jury. An
armed negro was arrested and placed
in jail at noon to-day, and careful

INA speech he made in the U. S.
Senate last week, Mr.. Morgan declared
there was not ration from Mexico to
Turkey which did not know that the
United States were about to enter upon
a war against the commerce of the
world" AS there must Of necessity be
at least two parties to war, and as the
two to the war referred would be the
United States on one side and all the
rest of the commercial world on the
other, the contest would be decidedly
unequal one, and it's result be disas-
trous to the weaker party, the former.
Indeed, with the entire foreign market
for its products shut of, and the sale
of those products restricted to the al
ready glutted home market, the price
of them would be decreased to the min
imum, and the demand for labor conse-
quently be greatly reduced, and wages
of course, be lowered.

MONDAY EVENING. JUNE % 1897.

TIE CASE of two negro swindlers
mailing from Alexandria was tried 10
New York to-day. They have been
engaged in collecting money from the
charitably disposed people in that city,
ostensibly for negro school here that
has no existence, but really, to aqusn-
der in the qualification of their own
vices. 1t seems impossible for people
in the North ever to learn any thing
about the true condition of affairs in
the South. All the really necessary
necro schools and churches in the
South are provided by the white people
of this section, and much the larger
share of what is subscribed in the
North towards such objects remains in
the pockets of the collectors. Why, one
of such collectors, for church, has
bought valuable farm Dear this city.
Their ability to become swindlers was
ACQUIRED in the free schools, and it is
about the only acquisition they derive
from those schools. The strangest
thing about such swindlers as those re-
ferred to, is the fact that many OF them
are endorsed by Southern people, and
are thereby assisted in the accomplish
ment of their frauds. 1t is needless to
ssv that the Southern men who en-
dorse these rascals would refuse to
give them money, but ink is cheap, sud
little labor is required to sign paper

SECRETARY LONG is said to be sur
prised to find there are so few native
born citizens of the country in the
Navy, and says he wishes to American
ize it before his term shall expire. he
has set himself task that neither ne
nor anybody else can accomplish; for
two sufficient reasons. Negroes are
now admitted into the navy, and white
Americans do not like to associate on
terms of social equality with negroes.
Then too, men in the Navy have to
obey their officers, and the spirit OF
equality has taken such an absurd
stand in this country, that now the av-
erage American refuses to put himself
in position in which he must obey or
ders or be punished on the spot for re-
fusing to do so. Times are hard
enough, but they will have to be much
harder before a sufficient number OF
native born white citizens of this coun-
try will enlist in the Navy to American
ize that branch of the national service.

he must find the cause of my trouble.

gave me treatment without any benefit

ache was gone.-MRs. b. A. LOMBARD,

LITTLE THINGS COUNT.
A Hint to Mamma cturers Looking TO South
American Countries for Customers.

1t is the little things that often count
in trade. An instance of this which has
not heretofore appeared i'll print, may be
interesting as an illustration. Some time
age the Baldwin Locomotive works We're
shipping some engines to Il South Amer
can country where the ties are made of
mahogany. and where the most beautiful
hard woods are found III such abundance
that they are used for fuel. Packing
cases were being made to contain vari-
Gus parts of the locomotives out of the
cheapest grades of hemlock and pine.
Some representatives of the South Amer
lean railroad happened to visit the Bald
win works while the eases We're being
nailed together, and they requested the
manager to use screws instead of nails;
for. he said. 1--WE value this wood so high
ly i'll our country that we save every
scrap and use it for ornamental purposes.
Our Workmcn are instructed to open the
cases with great care. but sometimes
they cannot withdraw the nails without
njuring the wood" Such an idea as
this would never have occurred to any
one, yet the knowledge thus accidentally
gained enabled the Baldwin company.
