Hayti and Germany.
Black Republicans with Their Blood

Black Republicans with Their Blood
Up---WhHt the War Talk Is all
About.
Many years ago one Herr Lueders emf
grated from Germany to Hayti, and mar
ried Haytian woman-color unspecifed
but presumably dark. They had a son
who inherited or developed a quick tenn
per. AS he grew up this got him into va
rious ditiiculties-three OF four duels in
cluded. In order las we may SUPPOSED to
avert or minimize the possible conse-
quences of his intirmity, he went to the
German consulate not long ago and regis
tered himself-native of Hayti as he is
as German subject.
Either before or after this prudential
act-probably after it-young Lueders flew
into passion with a cabby, and biffed
that unfortunate charioteer with force and
arms. lie was arrested. He had no de.
fence, and was "sent up for month. He
appealed. The higher court imposed fine
of 800 francs and sentenced him to year S
'seclusion." He appealed again.
At this point the German charge daft
fairs, Count Scherwin, nterposed. In
stead of observing the usual diplomatic
etquet he went to President Simon Sam
direct and made several imperative de-
mands, among them the instant release of
young Lueders; an apology to the Ger
man government: the payment of a large
indemnity, and the dismissal of all the
judges and police officers who had been
concerned in depriving him of his liberty
The negro executive told the count to
talk the matter over with the proper Of
ficial-the Haytian minister of foreign af-
fairs. This the count refused to do. Act
ing lit is said) under instructions from Ber-
lin, he hauled down his consular flag and
notified President Simon Sam that the dis
cussion would be resumed later, and with
three German warships in the harbor of
Port au Prince as new arguments in the
case. A few days afterward, our minister
asked or advised the Haytian govern ment
to let Lueders go. 1t did so, but ordered
him to leave the island. He has made his
way to Berlin, and his version of the facts
1--WE hardly need say differs materially
from the Haytian version here given
1t is understood that our government
gave notice to Germany that harsh coercive
measures toward the little island republic
would not be tolerated, and then there was
foolish sensational talk of war between the
United States and Germany. The latest
dispatches are to the effect that our min
lister at Berlin, Andrew d. White, has
been assured that Germany will not send
war ships to Hayti at present. Her de-
mand is for $4,000 indemnity, permits
sion for Lueders to return to Hayti, an
apology, and the gracious acceptance of
the pugnacious Count Schwerin at Port
au Prince.

your kidneys may be the cause of your sick ness
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your urine for

The fastest torpedo boats in the world at
present can steam at the rate of about 30
knots an hour for short distances. The
United States has none yet which is capa-
BILE of 80 knots. But the Russian govern
ment has just ordered from firm of Eng
fish builders on the Tyne two 3S-knot
boats, to be modelled on the principle
which caused such a sensation a few
months ago when introduced in the Won
derful little craft Turbinia. Notwithstand-
ing the success of this experimental ven
ture, naval officers have looked askance at
it, and Russia is the only European pow
er which h dared to give it a trial in its
naval service. The performance of the
two new flyers will be awaited with keen
interest by the maritime authorities of
other nations. If they fulfil the require
ments they will be far and away the fast
est steamers in the world.

We live iu a country of which the principal
scourge is stomach trouble.
II is more widespread than any other disease,
and, very nearly, more dangerous.
One thing that makes it so dangerous is that il
is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it would be more
feared more easily cured, less universal than it
is now.
So, those who wish to be cured, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial because it goes to the root OF
the trouble as no other medicine does. The
pure, harmless, curative herbs and plants, of
which it is composed are what render it so GER
taiL, and at the same time, so gentle a cure.

and tones up the system

EX-Presdent James Harris Fairchild of
Oberlin college, who celebrated his S0th
birthday on Thanksgiving, probably served
longer than any other college officer in the
land. He went TO Oberliu at II, or IS
years ago. and since that time his con-
nection with the college as student, tutor,
professor, president and counsellor has
been unbroken. He has attended chapel
$4,000 times, and heard over $4,000 recita-
tiOns. He was born in Stockbridge, but
his parents moved to the unbroken wilder
ness of northern Ohio while he was an
infant. II illustrates the primitive con-
dition of the country that when he went to
college the campus was the largest clearing
he had ever seen, and affected him more
deeply than the sight of prairie, ocean or
mountain in later years. This campus,
by the way, was so thickly covered with
stumps that an active boy could cover it
by leaping from one to the next without
touching the ground.

PEOPLE OF FeW WORDS.

''I.et your speech be yea, yea, and nay,
nay" says the Good Book, "for whose
ever is more than these cometh OF evil"
The Shakers abide by the spirit Of this
rule. Their words are few, simple, sim
cere and direct. They waste no energy
in idle talk; they use it in thinking and
doing. And whatever they do they do
with their might They are content with
nothing short of the essence and prlncl-
pile Of the things they investigate They
take pains and are patient. And thus the
doors OF many strange truths open to
them. In this way they discovered what
may almost be called the unity Of disease.
A venerable Shaker says of 1t: 1t Is
said that one mans meat is another mans
poison. That is but half the truth. Any
mans meat is any mans poison, under
certain conditions. If the grain never
got further than the hopper we should
never have bread; and il bread never
got further than the stomach we should
never have strength. When the stom-
ach is torpid, helpless and lntiamed the
food lies in it and rots. This fermenta-
ton produces poisons which may, and Of
ten do, disorder every other organ and
function Of the body. This is Indigestion
or dyspepsia, with many symptoms and
DISCUSSES. Cure it and you cure nine
tenths Of your complaints" THESE words
were uttered many years ago. Since then
they have found a remedy, now known
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is
made from medicinal plants cultivated
by them. Ii is a food and digests other
foods. Taken while eating it rests the
stomach and nourishes the system. The
pain and distresses of dyspepsia disap-
pear before it. 1t prevents fermentation
and soon restores full power to the diges-
ton. 1t succeeds in the worst cases. 1t
is worthy the name of the people whose
name it bears. ANY druggist will sell
YOU q trial bottle for ten cents.

THE VARSITY CLUBS.
A Delightful Evening With Young Mu
sicians of Great Talent.

A Delightful Evening WI TN AOuhS Mu-
sicians of Great Talent.
At METROPOLITAN Hall last evening the
Glee and Mandolin Clubs of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina made their first
appearance of 1897 before the most
fashionable audience which has been
gathered there for many months.
The clubs this season have made
happy hit before an audience of Raleigh
critics, where severity is of note. The
songs are all new, spicy little pieces
which are at once delightful and enter
tanning in the highest degree. The selec-
tons of the Mandolin Club were well
chosen, and the excellent renditions
caused repeated encores.
The Glee Club has been trained by
Prof. Harrington Of the University, who
is one of the finest musicians in the
South, and as a. consequence no college
songsters can surpass in excellence OF
rendition the wearers Of the white and
blue
The violin playing of Mr.. Cowles and
the flute playing Of Mr. Pfohl added
greatly to the programme. Mr. Pfohls
rendition on the flute of a familiar mir
with variations is deserving of the high
est praise, and his playing would be
credit to many professional musicians.
The college song, Only bow of
ribbon" sung by Mr. Gudger with the
Glee Club, Mr. Edwards and Mr.. An
derson's songs were all ereditably rem
1ered.
Mr.. Darius Eatman is director Of the
Glee Club. Mr.. Il. V Patterson is leader
Of the Mandolin Club, and Mr.. Ralph
Graves is manager.
Inc clubs are a credit to the University
and to the State, and lovers of music
must hear them if pleasant evening is
desired.
Later in the evening the Capital Club
gave an elegant german complimentary
to the Chapel Hillians, and quite
feature Of the evening was the presence
Of President and Mrs. Mckee, Col. and
Mrs. Thos s. Kenan and Dir. and Mrs.
