It strikes the negroes in Ohio
and other States where their votes
are often necessary to Republican
success as very strange that they
are almost invariably forgotten in
the distribution of the Republican
spoils, while fat Offices are given
numerously to negroes in the
South, where the negro vote is
never worth anything.-Atlanta
Journal, Dem.
The Atlanta Journal is sadly
mistaken if it thinks the negro
vote of the South is never worth
anything. Mckinley owes his
nomination, at the st. Louis Con-
vention, to the vote of the negro
delegates from the South, which
were bought and paid for by
Hanna.

ROMANCE OF A DOUBLE LIFE.

Secret ola Lifetime Recalled In Dead
Mans VIII.
st. Louis. April 24--William ]. Craig.
Of Catasaqua. Pa, 10 here to try to
obtain what he claims is his mothers
dover and his own right in the es-
tate Of his alleged father. James Craig.
If the story he tells can be substanti-
ated 1t will dispossess two prominent
women of an estate worth $200, 900, and
bring affiuence to the closing days of
life Of a woman whose eyes have grown
dim with 80 years watching for her
husbands return from America.
w. j. Craig, the claimant, is GA years
Of age, and is manager of large iron
works in Catasaqua. AS he tells the
story, he was born in Ireland, James
Craig being his father. While he was
yet babe in arms his father came to
America, leaving his wife penniless.
When young Craig was 10 years old
his mother sent him to America, and
he settled at Catasaqua.
While these things had been happen
ing an Irishman named James Craig,
who said he was widower, had
fought his way to wealth in st. Louis.
In the course of time he married and
had family of two daughters, who
are now middleaged.
A month ago James Craig died, aged
So. When his will was probated 1t
caused surprise, for the second para
graph read: Il give and bequeath the
sum of 81. and no more, to my son,

his family had heard of the existence
of a son.

tion conferred about the senate propo-
sition to open the Uncompahgre In
