The Sunday calm was intensified to-day,
all traffic being suspended and the streets
being deserted by even the usual throng
OF worshippers. Not only have many people
gone away, but those remaining think it
prudent TO avoid gatherings of all sorts.
The Baysde park closed its season pre-
maturely yesterday, and Sunday street car
travel in that direction, which Is generally
very large, was entirely lacking. There
was a small shower about O'Clock, ac-
con1panied by a cool wind that was most
refreshing after the intense sultriness of
the past two weeks.

ming "a Blind Tiger POstoGice.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept 19-The shooting OF
the negro postmaster at HogansviIle
threatens to entail no end of trouble for
the peop.e of that town.
A postoflce Inspector has finished
three-days' investigation of the shooting.
and it is stated tonight that as result
of his work two Of the most prominent
business men in the town win be arrested
this week ON a charge Of attempting to-
assassinate the postmaster.
The people Of the town are called upon
to face a most uncomfortable state Of af-
fairs. They have never yet patronized
the negro postmaster directly. the old
postmaster, Hardaway, main tanning his old
postofIice, and sending for and obtaining
in bulk the mail matter for all his white
patrons. Their letters were mailed ou
the train. The ex-postmaster viii be pros-
ecuted for this and the letters can no long,
er be mailed on the trains
When this action was announced two
days ago. the citizens conceived the plan
of having their mail sent to the next near
est postoi1ice and sending carrier for il.
They are now told that this would be In
violation of tho law which permits only
the government to maintain a post route.
This brings them TO the bitter alternative
of patronizing the negro postmaster or
having no mail at all.
Feeling is high among both whites ana
blacks, and further trouble is feared, all
though it Is not imminent

A Mexican Omccr Shows Great COur-
age at His Execution.
City of Mexico, Sept. 19-Capt. Gotta OF
the Twelfth Infantry was some time since
condemned to death for insubordination
for the killing of a major of his regiment

Detachments from all the garrisons were
present about 1900 men being drawn up

was ready and carriage coneaining Capt.
Gotta and three friends, guarded by sol
diers drew up At the further end of the
square, opposite the eastern mound, In
front of which the execution was to take
place, the coach stopped and the condemn
ed man alighted. He was Immediately con-
Quoted to the place Of execution by a
picket of infantry. His nerve was indom-
liable and his courage superb.
AS the company advanced down the
length of the square q distance of at least
100 yards, he was quietly putting at a cigar
ette and when the squad halted, he walked
with deliberation to the position assigned
to him. Not even there did his courage
forsake him.
When the officer strobe forward bandage
in hand, with the intention of blindfolding
him, Capt. Gotta at once motioned him
away, declaring that he was not afraid.
Not even as the officer in charge OF the
firing party took his place and with his
sword motioned the orders to the men
ready, present, fire." was there the least
trace of fear on the face of the condemned
man. At the first discharge he dropped

HAVANA's DREADFUL CONDITION.
An Invitation to Epidemics-The
Mortality Report-LncIx OF Food.

An Invitation to Epidemics-The
Mortality RepOrt-LacIx of Food.
Washington, Sept. 19-In his weekly re-
port to the marine hospital service, Sani-
tary Inspector Brunner at Havana says
that for the week ended Sept. ., there were
326 deaths of which Is were from yellow
fever, 20 from enteric and pernicious fe-
vers, "a from dysentery ard IS from enter
tits.
The Inspector says the DECLINE In deaths
from yellow fever is only apparent, many
deaths from that disease, he thinks, be-
ing placed under the head of enterits
and enteric fever At the same time there
are not as many cases of yellow fever in
the military hospitals as there were two
months ago, the soldiers who are sick be-
ing cared for In the hospitals elsewhere.
For two weeks, according to the city NOR
tality reports no deaths from yellow fever
have occurred in the city proper; this con-
dition he says does not exist.
The enormous death rate from enteritis
and dysentery, the inspector says, Is the
result of the lack of nutritious food, and
the deaths from these diseases have not
yet reached high-water mark. Unless the
laws are so amended as to admit certain
important food products, none but the
favored few will be able to obtain nutri-
tous food. Even at the present tinat all
fresh meats command prices above the
reach Of the lower classes, while bread
stuffs are proportionately higher.
/ have not had sufficient time to push
an investigation Of the number Of cases
of beriberi among the Chinamen here. It
is certain that no city can show a more
inviting presence to epidemic diseases
than the city of Havana.

THE ANTITRUST LAW.

A law which is a dead letter, or which
either cannot be or is not enforced had
better be repealed. The statute books should
not be numbered with deadwood of this
Kind, and, besides numbering the statute
books such laws are an invitation to vio-
late others. All laws should be enforced to
the end that, if wise, society may get the
benefit of them, and if unwise, they may be
repealed
So far as known no effort has been made
to enforce the antitrust law passed by the
last Legislature. About the time the Legis-
lature met popular feeling against trusts
and combinations against trade was very
strong, and there was a general demand for
legislation on the subject, either by Con-
gress or the state Legislatures or both.
The Indiana Legislature was one of the
very few that passed law on the subject
The first section of the law is as follows:
That from and after the passage of this
act all arrangements. contracts agree
ments. trusts combinations between per-
sons or corporations who control the output
of any article of merchandise, made with a
view to lessen. or which tend to lessen full
and free competition in the Importation or
sale of articles imported into this State,
anu dil arrangements agree
ments, trusts or combinations between per-
sons or corporations who control the output
of said article of merchandise, designed, or
which tend to advance. reduce or control
the price the cost to the producer or
consumer of any such product or article,
are hereby declared to be against public
policy and void
Section provides that any corporation
chartered under the laws of this State
which violates the foregoing provision shall
forfeit its charter and that every foreign
corporation so violating shall forfeit it's
right to do business in the State. Section
makes it a penal offense for the manager,
director or agent of any person or corpora
ton which is party to trade combination
to carry out its stipulations 1t is made the
duty of the attorney general to enforce the
provision of the law against corporations
and the duty of the judges of the Circuit
Courts to instruct grand juries in regard to
the provisions of the law At first glance
the law appears to be stringent one, but a
little scrutiny shows that it is defective
First, it applies only TO combinations to
control the importation or sale of articles
of merchandise imported into this State"
and, second, it applies only to combinations
bStween persons or corporations who con-
tr% the output of said article of merchan-
olsen This exempts combinations between
